The photographer adopts an eye-level angle, aligning with the middle section of the paifang (traditional Chinese archway), to present its complete form and its relationship with the surrounding environment. A central composition is used, with the paifang’s midline as the axis, ensuring a balanced distribution of elements on both sides to enhance the sense of order. It is recommended to use a standard lens to maintain a true-to-life visual proportion, accurately depicting the architectural details of the paifang and the spatial relationships of the scene, making the image stable and the information clear. Travel Guide: 1. Admission: Free entry. 2. Best Photography Times: For capturing the architectural details with soft lighting, choose between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. For the best night scenes, shoot from dusk until 9:00 PM when the lighting and the scenery blend beautifully.
