Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking toward the Yin Mountains across the Saihan Tala grasslands or looking into the valley of Wudangzhao Monastery, showing steppe grasses and white gers in the foreground, the whitewashed multi-tiered Tibetan temple halls in the middle-ground, and the jagged granite ridges of the Yin Mountains rising in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the vast urban steppe grasses of Saihan Tala, willow marshes along the Yellow River, and pine groves around Wudangzhao.
