Shooting equipment: Fuji XE4 + 18-50mm f/2.8. Outfit suggestion: The entire scenic area is solemn and mainly red, so simple clothing is recommended. Pose suggestions: You can stand facing the sculpture; if you’re unsure about poses, you can look down at the camera, or look up at the sky or down at the ground.
