Photography Tips
The photographer stands at a lower position in front of the city gate, adopting an upward shooting angle to highlight the grandeur of the city gate. Using the rule of thirds, the main body of the city gate is positioned at the left one-third of the frame, while the right side retains the winding Great Wall, green mountains, and blue sky, enhancing the balance and depth of the image. The framing should include the entire city gate, part of the city wall, the stone pavement, and the background landscape, showcasing the integration of the Great Wall with nature. A wide-angle lens is recommended to capture the large scene and retain environmental details. Other tips: Wear comfortable shoes.
Walking Guide
Walk northwest to the public restroom (on your right) and then proceed to the right.
