Incorporate interlaced branches in the foreground to enhance depth, while clearly capturing the temple roof and incense smoke in the midground. In the background, retain the trees and sky. Use foreground composition to naturally divide the frame with the branches, highlighting the details of the ancient architecture and the misty atmosphere. Opening hours: 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM.
