Use a centered composition with the Qiniandian Hall positioned in the middle of the frame to highlight the symmetrical beauty and lit details of the architecture. Shoot at eye level to capture the entire building, including the base and steps, and incorporate the waterlogged ground in the foreground to create a clear reflection, enhancing the depth of the image. Keep the background as the dark night sky to avoid distracting elements from the main subject. Travel Tips: The opening hours are 06:00-22:00 (last entry at 21:00) from April 1 to October 31, and 06:30-22:00 (last entry at 21:00) from November 1 to March 31.
