Use the reflection composition technique by leveraging the lake surface reflection of Chang'an Tower to enhance the balance of the image. Include reeds by the lakeside in the foreground to add depth to the scene. Shoot from a horizontal angle, with Chang'an Tower positioned at one-third of the way from the left side of the frame, capturing the lake view, the tower, and the sunset sky. Utilize a wide-angle lens to capture the expansive scene. Travel tips: It is recommended to shoot during the evening or early morning when the sun is setting or rising, as the presence of sunset or dawn glows can make the photos more impressive.
