Use a centered composition to ensure that the ancient building's gateway is located in the center of the frame, highlighting its symmetrical beauty. Shoot from a low angle to better showcase the grandeur of the Forbidden City's gate, while incorporating the blue sky and white clouds in the background to add a fresh and spacious feel to the image. Use a wide-angle lens to include the red walls on both sides of the gate, adding depth and atmosphere to the shot.

1. Travel Tips: Choose a clear day for your visit, as the blue sky enhances the photo effect during the day.
2.
