When shooting, you can use a wide-angle lens to showcase the grand layout of the temple, or use a telephoto lens to capture architectural details and changes in light and shadow. In the evening, the soft sunlight can better capture the tranquil beauty of the temple.

Shooting equipment: both mobile phones and cameras are suitable. Mobile phones can turn on HDR mode to enhance the texture of the image; cameras can choose a 16-35mm focal length, with an aperture setting around f/8, to obtain a clear and layered image.
