Shoot from a low angle to emphasize the grandeur of the Great Wall as it snakes along the mountain ridge. Use leading lines to naturally extend the curves of the Great Wall, guiding the viewer's eye from the nearby steps to the distant watchtowers. Frame the shot to include the overall view of the Great Wall, watchtowers, and the green mountains on both sides, with a blue sky in the background to enhance the sense of openness. It's recommended to use a standard focal length lens to balance the details and the depth of the scene. Travel Tip: Admission is 40 yuan per person.
