Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking across the Han River toward the historic city terraces with the Qinling Mountains rising in the background, showing willow branches and stone steps in the foreground, the calm river waters, ancient timber pavilions, and terrace walls in the middle-ground, and the massive, forested mountain wall of the Qinling range fading in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick cypress canopies around Baijiangtai, weeping willows along the Han River, and the forested slopes of the Qinling Mountains.
