Capture the contrast between the ancient-style eaves and the neon signs, centering the composition with the pink neon sign in the middle of the frame. Ensure the sign is clear and prominent. Include the potted plants in the foreground, the wooden lattice windows and glass door of the shop in the mid-ground, and the dark eaves and blue sky in the background to enhance the depth of the scene. Additional tips: During holidays, there is a large crowd, so it’s recommended to visit off-peak hours.
