The photographer stands slightly lower in front of the calligraphy pillar, using an upward angle to place the pillar on the left side of the frame. The pillar on the left echoes with the "Cold Spring Pavilion" plaque in the upper right, guiding the viewer’s gaze. The composition should include the pillar, the plaque, the greenery in the background, and the pond below, enhancing the sense of depth in the environment. A wide-angle lens is recommended to capture the blend of the pavilion’s calligraphy and the natural scenery. Travel Tip: Lingyin Temple is located inside the Feilai Peak Scenic Area. You need to purchase two separate tickets: 45 RMB for Feilai Peak and 30 RMB for Lingyin Temple.
