Using the rule of thirds, the image is divided with the ancient building's eaves as the dividing line, separating the upper half into blue sky and the lower half into the main body of the building. A medium telephoto lens is used to clearly display the details of the ancient building's eaves, the texture of the tiles, and the shapes of the ridge creatures. Travel Tips: ① Ticket prices are 25 yuan per adult and 12 yuan per senior citizen/child; ② It is recommended to avoid holidays as there will be fewer people.
