1. Positioning: The model stands in front of the railing, while the photographer sits on the steps and shoots slightly upward from waist level. A moderate upward angle enhances the presence of the background landmarks, making both full-body and half-body shots look great.
2. Composition: Use the rule of thirds to place the Drip Lake landmark on one side of the frame, contrasting with the model to create a sense of spatial extension.
3. Lens Focal Length: Use an 85mm-135mm telephoto lens or a 2x-3x zoom on a phone to compress the space and highlight the relationship between the subject and the background.

Travel Tips:
① Admission: Free
② Transportation: It is recommended to take Metro Line 16.
