Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking across the Xiang River toward the cliff-top pavilions of Shigu Academy at the river confluence with Mount Heng rising in the background, showing willow branches and stone quays in the foreground, the calm river waters, wooden boats, and academy pavilions in the middle-ground, and the majestic, mist-veiled peaks of Nanyue Hengshan fading in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick pine forests of Mount Heng, camphor trees around Shigu Academy, and weeping willows along the Xiang River.
