Here, you can capture the yellow wall + Longxing Temple. The person shouldn't stand against the wall but keep a distance, otherwise, they will appear too small and distorted in the photo. The photographer should squat and shoot upwards, making sure to capture the entire temple. 2. By the lake at the water street entrance. The person can sit on the stone railing by the lake, with the unique buildings as the background. The photos will turn out great. 3. At the corner to the left of the water street entrance. Here, you can capture Longxing Temple, and standing or sitting poses both work well. 4. The sunken plaza. Here, you can take street-style photos, with the person walking casually and the photographer capturing the moment from the opposite steps. You can capture Longxing Temple and the unique tiled wall. 5. Walking further inside from the central square is the "Pengzhou" wall check-in spot. Here, you can capture photos while walking back and forth, stand in the middle, or take separate photos of the two characters "Pengzhou" and combine them later. 6. The top of the stupa.
