Photography Tips

Use a straight-on shooting angle from in front of the red wall to highlight the layers of the red wall, carved eaves, and green trees. Place the stone carving in the lower left corner of the frame, with the red wall, carved eaves, and roof on the right side. Leave some space at the top to include the lush green trees. The composition should include a portion of the red wall, the carved eaves, and the background of green trees to enhance the depth of the image. Travel Tips: 1. Ticket Price: Off-season 40 RMB, Peak season 60 RMB. 2. Opening Hours: Peak season 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM, Off-season 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM.
