Use a vertical screen composition to divide the cityscape, mountains, and sky into three horizontal parts; the photographer can stand at a high place and use a medium to long focal length to capture a sense of compression in the photo. Other suggestions: Since there are no good angles for climbing buildings, it is recommended to use a drone for shooting. Fly the drone between Jianguomen and Duanlimen, adjust the gimbal pitch, and you can see the desired view.
