Photography Tips
Use a centered composition with the stone stele placed in the middle to highlight the subject. Shoot from a straight-on angle facing the stele, including the stone railings in the foreground and the gray-tiled roofs, red walls of ancient buildings, and the distant water on the right in the background to add depth. A wide-angle lens is recommended to capture the overall relationship between the stele and the ancient architecture. Travel Tips: - Admission: 60 RMB - Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM (closed on Mondays)
