The photographer used a low-angle shot to place the "Jie" (戒) character plaque on the red wall to the right side of the frame, while incorporating the gray railing and pine trees on the left to balance the composition. The framing includes the full view of the red wall, the plaque, the upper railing, and parts of the blue sky and green trees, adding depth and layers to the image. It is recommended to use a standard focal length to highlight the main subject while retaining the details of the scene. Travel Tip: The entrance fee is 45 RMB per person.
