Photography Tips

Use an upward shooting angle, capturing the Buddha statue from a diagonal lower position, while including the "Rendex Dalong" plaque above. Compose the shot with the Buddha statue on the right side in the foreground, the plaque in the middle ground, and the roof and red walls in the background to enhance the spatial depth. Use a wide-angle lens to ensure the main subject and architectural details are fully presented. Additional tips: Avoid peak hours and travel off-peak to minimize crowds.
