Use an upward angle, hold your phone high to avoid the crowd, and frame the golden ginkgo branches and the ancient building’s roof above. The composition should include the complete arch, a full screen of ginkgo branches, and part of the roof, enhancing the layering and compressing the space to make the ginkgo leaves appear denser, highlighting the autumn atmosphere. Travel Tips: No reservation is needed; you can buy tickets on-site for 3 yuan.
