With the red railing as the foreground frame, use a symmetrical composition to showcase the balance of the railings on both sides and the central steps. The scene should include the intricately carved steps in the foreground, the incense burner and the plaque “Emperor of the Heaven” in the middle ground, and the dark carved wall in the background to enhance the solemn atmosphere. It is recommended to use a telephoto lens to compress the space and highlight the details of the subject. Opening hours: 6:00 AM - 10:00 PM.
