Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking across the lotus-covered waters of Daming Lake toward the monumental Chaoran Tower with Thousand Buddha Mountain rising in the southern background, showing weeping willow fronds and stone balustrades in the foreground, the calm lake water, lotus pads, and wooden pleasure boat in the middle-ground, and the soaring multi-tiered Chaoran Tower and green mountain ridge fading in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick weeping willows draping over Daming Lake and spring pools, lotus pads, and pine forests of Qianfoshan.
