The photographer used a low-angle shot, standing slightly below the red wall and looking up to highlight the main subject, the "Zi Lin Chan Yuan" plaque. The foreground includes bamboo leaves and a bamboo forest to add depth, while the background features the red wall and blue brick decorations. The plaque is positioned slightly left of center in the frame, balancing the environment and the main subject. Travel Tip: The entrance ticket costs 50 RMB per person.
