Photography Tips: Use symmetrical composition with the main body of the gate tower in the center of the frame, and the couplets on both sides along with green plants distributed symmetrically to balance the image. Shoot from a flat angle to ensure that the "Er Tian Men" plaque and the full appearance of the gate tower are clear. The frame should include the foreground greenery, the main body of the gate tower, and the background misty mountains, to enhance the sense of depth. Use a standard focal length or a smartphone's wide-angle lens for shooting.
