The photographer uses an upward shooting angle from a low position, placing the stone stele slightly to the left of the center of the frame to highlight the main subject, "Jiming Temple." Employing a foreground-background composition, the stele's details are clearly presented in the foreground, while the background includes the rooftops of ancient buildings, mountains with green vegetation, and a yellow wall on the left, enhancing the depth of the image. Incorporating tree branches on the right side adds to the environmental atmosphere. A wide-angle lens is recommended to capture the complete spatial relationship between the stele and the background architecture. Travel Tip: Admission is 10 RMB per person.
