Photography Tips
The stone lantern is centrally positioned in the frame, highlighting the symmetrical beauty of the subject. The photographer uses a level shooting angle to ensure the natural vertical relationship between the lantern post and the red wall. The composition should include the red wall in the background and the green plants on the left in the foreground to enhance the depth of the image. Travel Tip: The admission fee is 60 RMB.
