The photographer stands slightly to the front side of the Hall of the Heavenly Kings and shoots upward, using vertical line composition. The vertical lines of the pillars enhance the solemnity and stability of the image. A medium focal length lens can be used to clearly display the architectural decorative textures and the inscriptions on the plaques. Additional suggestion: The photos will look better in good sunlight.

Walking Guide

Take the subway line 2 to Weiqunan Station, exit from Exit A, and directly take a taxi to Xiangjisi Temple. Once you get out of the taxi, you'll be right in front of the ancient archway of Xiangjisi Temple. Walk up the steps and go straight for 100m, see the plaque of Xiangjisi Temple and continue straight for another 100m, and you'll see the plaque of the Hall of Heavenly Kings, which is your filming location.
