The photographer should shoot from a low angle, highlighting the towering presence of the Huabiao. The framing should include the full view of the Huabiao, with a corner of the Tiananmen Tower and two red flags in the background to enhance the atmosphere. Other tips: It is recommended to take photos on a sunny day for superb results.
