Using a frame-within-a-frame composition, the photographer utilizes the door frame as a foreground element to highlight the inscription on the Qian Nian Dian (Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests). The photo is taken from a straight-on angle, positioning the inscription vertically in the center of the frame to emphasize its height. The composition includes the red door frame, the blue roof of the Qian Nian Dian, and the detailed calligraphy of “Qian Nian Dian.” It is recommended to use a telephoto lens to compress the background and highlight the architectural details. Travel Tips: ① Admission Fees: Peak season (April to October) 15 RMB, off-season (November to March) 10 RMB. ② Opening Hours: 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
