The photographer adopted a low-angle position to highlight the architectural details and grandeur of the Yikun Palace roof, enhancing the vertical space. Placing the roof in the upper part of the frame, the photographer uses the repetitive lines of the eaves and roof tiles to create a sense of order, with the blue sky serving as a clean background. Travel Tip: The area can be very crowded on weekends and holidays, so it’s recommended to visit outside of peak hours.

Walking Guide

I recommend taking Line 1 of the subway and getting off at Tiananmen East Station. From there, you can walk to your destination.
