The model stands at the small door, and the photographer shoots from inside at eye level, with a height similar to the model's standing eye level. Using a frame-within-a-frame composition, the door frame of the ancient building naturally frames the subject, highlighting the main figure while adding depth and form to the photo, guiding the viewer’s focus to the person. It's recommended to use a medium focal length lens, as it can effectively compress the space, making the relationship between the foreground plum blossoms, the midground person, and the background ancient building more compact. 1. Opening Hours: Opens at 10:00 AM. 2. Outfit Suggestion: Clothing with pink elements works well and looks great in photos. 3. Additional Tips: ① To capture an empty shot, arrive 10 minutes early. After 11:00 AM, the crowd starts to increase. ② After your coffee, take a city walk along Dongbuyajiao Hutong. It’s quiet and full of flowers, like a park. From there, you can easily reach Shichahai and the Drum Tower.
