The photographer shoots from a bird’s-eye view, slightly downward from above the exhibit, fully capturing the spherical body of the globe and the intricate dragon-shaped stand. Using a centered composition, the golden globe is placed at the center of the frame, highlighting the exquisite pearl and dragon patterns on its surface. The shot includes the entire exhibit, the red pedestal, and part of the glass display case background, providing context without overpowering the main subject. Travel Tips: Admission is 60 RMB per person.
