Use leading lines in your composition, with the row of stone lions on the bridge forming a vertical line that guides the viewer’s eye to the distant city gate. Shoot from a level angle, standing near the railing on the bridge, ensuring the foreground lions are clear, the middle-ground row of lions is continuous, and the background includes the city gate and green trees. A medium to long focal length lens is recommended to blur the background, enhancing the depth and layers of the image. Travel Tip: Admission is 20 RMB.
