Photography Tips
The photographer uses an upward shooting angle, with the large tree branches as the background, naturally blocking part of the sky to enhance the depth of the image. The main subject, a section of the temple building (red walls and eaves), is positioned at the center of the lower part of the frame, highlighting the architectural details. The composition includes the top of the building and the dense foliage above, avoiding the inclusion of surrounding irrelevant structures to keep the frame clean. A telephoto lens is recommended for this shot. Travel Tips: ① Admission: Free; ② Opening Hours: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM.
