Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking toward the Five Pagoda Temple across its paved courtyard with the rugged Daqing Mountains rising in the background, showing pine branches and stone pavers in the foreground, the intricate carved stone stupas and tiers of the temple in the middle-ground, and the massive granite mountain wall of Daqing Shan fading in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick pine forests of the Daqing Mountains, silver poplars, and willow groves around temple grounds.
