Photography Tips
The photographer uses a top-down angle to capture the intricate patterns of the emerald green jade cloud-dragon-patterned stone chime from a slightly oblique perspective, placing it at the center of the frame to highlight the main subject. The framing includes the entire stone chime and a blurred background of other artifacts to enhance the exhibition atmosphere. A standard lens is recommended to ensure the clarity and richness of details. Travel Tips: 1. Ticket Prices: The entrance fees for the Meridian Gate vary by season.
