I recommend using a wide-angle lens to capture the entire room layout, with vases and lanterns symmetrically placed on both sides, and the central plaque and table and chairs aligned in the middle to enhance the sense of solemnity. The plaque above, the intricately carved screen in the middle, and the table and chairs below, along with the symmetrical vases and lanterns on the sides, should all be included. Additional tips: Avoid peak hours and travel off-peak to have a better experience.
