The photographer, positioned at eye level on the opposite side of the lake, used the rule of thirds to divide the composition into three sections: the sky, the shoreline scenery, and the lake surface. Employing a medium-telephoto lens, the shot clearly captures the ancient pavilion, weeping willows, architectural reflections, and water ripples, creating a tranquil and picturesque spring lake scene. Travel Tips: 1. Admission: Usually 2 RMB, 10 RMB during the crabapple blossom season. Tickets can be purchased through the "Changyou Park" WeChat official account, and entry is granted with a valid ID (free for seniors with a senior citizen card and annual pass holders). 2. Operating Hours: The park opens at 6:00 AM, stops admitting visitors at 9:00 PM, and closes at 10:00 PM. 3. Some smaller attractions within the park (such as Qingyin Pavilion and Cibei An) stop admitting visitors at 5:30 PM and close at 6:00 PM. It is recommended to visit these areas early to ensure a more comprehensive tour.

Walking Guide

Take the Subway Line 4 to Taoranting Station and exit at Exit C. After exiting, walk south along Taiping Street for about 200 meters to the East Gate of Taoranting Park. Once inside, follow the main road straight for about 300 meters, pass the boat dock, and at the first intersection (facing the South Lake), turn right. Walk along the lakeside path for about 400 meters until you see the sign for Jin Qiu Dun. Turn left, cross the bridge, and continue walking for 100 meters. The Baitai will be on your left. The photography spot is by the lake, capturing the Baitai Pavilion.
