Shoot from a low angle on the square's ground, looking up to emphasize the grandeur of the stone archway. Use a symmetrical composition with the stone archway centered in the frame, balancing the left and right sides to enhance the solemn atmosphere. Include a blue sky background, the square’s stone tiles in the foreground, the stone archway, red walls, and the railing behind it to add depth. A wide-angle lens is recommended to ensure both the main subject and the surrounding environment are fully captured. Travel tip: The combined ticket costs 35 yuan.
