Photography Tips
Shoot from a low angle, emphasizing the layered roof of the temple and the tall pine trees. Use a frame-within-a-frame composition, with the dense branches of the pine tree naturally framing the temple roof, enhancing the depth of the scene. The frame should include the foreground roof tiles and roof ornaments, the mid-ground pine trees, and the main hall roof in the background, with a bit of sky above to add more layers to the image. A wide-angle lens is recommended to capture the harmony between the architecture and nature. Travel Tips: - Admission Fee: 45 RMB - Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM
