The photographer stands on the ground and adopts a low-angle shot, recommending the use of a wide-angle lens to center the composition and highlight the large lantern in the center. The symmetrically distributed small lanterns on both sides, along with the ceiling decorations, form a balanced symmetry. The hanging red tassels naturally guide the line of sight upwards. The framing range includes the Great Wall painting below, the hanging lanterns in the middle, and the intricate ceiling patterns above, fully showcasing the layers of the interior space and the solemn atmosphere.

Travel Tips: Adult tickets are 15 yuan, student tickets are 5 yuan (full-time undergraduate and below, with ID verification), and free tickets are available for those over 60, under 18, military personnel, and people with disabilities (with valid IDs).
