Photography Tips

Use a straight-on angle with the model positioned slightly to the left of the center (near the rule of thirds), with her arms extended upwards and head tilted back, interacting with the decorative eaves above, enhancing the dynamic feel of the image. Include the full red wall and eave details in the background to highlight the subject. Travel Tips: 1. Ticket Price: 60 RMB per person. 2. Opening Hours: 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
