The photographer shoots from a position slightly to the front side of the subject at eye level. Using a central composition, the stone stele with the inscription “He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man” is placed at the center of the frame, making it the focal point, with the person leaning against the stele. A standard lens is used to accurately capture the proportions and spatial relationships between the person, the stele, and the surrounding environment. The central composition highlights the stele, creating a photo that effectively combines the person with the iconic elements of the Badaling Great Wall. Travel Tips: Adult tickets cost 40 RMB per person during the peak season and 35 RMB per person during the off-season.
