Use a reflective composition with a flat shooting angle to make the Huizhou-style architecture and its water reflection symmetrical, enhancing the balance of the image. The framing should include the entire building, lit lanterns, and the sky in the background, with the water reflection occupying the lower half of the picture, highlighting the atmosphere of the ancient town at night. Travel Tips: The town gets very crowded on weekends and holidays, so it’s recommended to visit during off-peak hours.
