Use leading lines in your composition to let the winding Great Wall naturally guide the viewer's eye, showcasing its extension through the mountains. Shoot from a low angle, incorporating foreground leaves to add depth, while retaining the backdrop of rolling mountains and blue sky to balance the layers of the scene. Dressing tip: Wear non-slip shoes, as the Great Wall is quite steep and many slopes can be slippery.
