Shoot from a low angle with a wide lens for symmetrical compositions. ❷ Five Kings Hall 🏯 White plum blossoms contrast with the glazed hall. Use a telephoto lens to compress the space and evoke a sense of history. ❸ Corridor Corner 🖼 Branches peek through carved windows. Use portrait mode on your phone for framed compositions. Tips: Weekend afternoons are extremely crowded! We recommend visiting on a working day morning. To capture clean shots of the red walls and white plum blossoms, use a telephoto lens or zoom in with your phone. Crowds can obstruct the view. Raise your camera to avoid them and achieve cleaner shots. Use pillars for framing to enhance the atmosphere and add variety to your photos.
