Hold a 100-yuan Renminbi note on the left side of the frame with your arm fully extended, adjusting the angle of the note so that the pattern of the Great Hall of the People aligns with the actual background architecture. Use a low-angle shot with a foreground-background composition, combining the Renminbi in the foreground with the Great Hall of the People in the background to enhance the sense of three-dimensionality. Frame the shot to include the pattern on the Renminbi note, the full view of the Great Hall of the People, and the square's ground. Use a wide-angle lens/phone 1x to ensure the image is complete and precisely aligned.
