Position slightly to the side across the street from Tiananmen, and take a flat angle shot. When framing the shot, include the golden railings and green plants in the foreground to enhance the sense of depth, and capture the full view of the city tower and blue sky in the background. Additional tips: The lighting is better on sunny days, which results in better photos.
