Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking across the calm waters of the Baohe moat toward the Bao Gong Memorial Temple and the soaring Qingfeng Tower, showing weeping willow fronds and lotus pads in the foreground, the tranquil water reflections, stone bridge, and Song-style pavilions in the middle-ground, and the multi-tiered roofline of Qingfeng Tower fading against the soft sky in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick weeping willows along Baohe canal, lotus pads, and ancient park camphor groves.
