Use a low-angle shot, capturing the eaves of the roof and the blue sky, and apply the rule of thirds in your composition. The red rose wall should be on the right, and the "Lai Le Ni Na, Xuanwu You Mianr" sign should be on the left, balancing the frame. Include the red rose wall, the sign, the roof eaves, and a portion of the blue sky. Add some leaves at the top to enhance the depth of the scene. Travel Tip: The picturesque hutongs are open for free throughout the day.
