1. Composition: Use leading lines by leveraging the stairs and river to guide the viewer's eye toward the central arch bridge, enhancing the sense of depth.
2. Framing: Keep the stairs as the foreground, the river in the middle, and include the arch bridge and surrounding trees in the background to highlight layers and a natural atmosphere.
3. Lens Recommendation: Continue using a 24mm focal length or the 1x setting on a phone to capture both a wide view and detailed elements.

Walking Guide

Starting from the North Palace Gate of the Summer Palace, take a taxi to the Southwest Gate of Yudong郊野 Park, which is about 4 kilometers away. Enter through the Southwest Gate and walk straight along the path beside the Jinhe stone stele for about 400 meters. On your right, you will see a staircase. Go down the stairs, turn right, and you will reach the shooting location at the steps.
