The photographer stands in a lower position, looking up to capture the Fragrance Pavilion from below, using the roofs of the surrounding buildings and trees in the foreground to create a sense of depth and emphasis. The composition is centered, with the Fragrance Pavilion placed directly in the middle of the frame to highlight its architectural prominence. It is recommended to use a telephoto lens, as it can compress the space and clearly show the multiple layers of the Fragrance Pavilion, avoiding the distortion that may result from using a wide-angle lens. Ticket prices: Adults 30 RMB, infants free.
