Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking across the Pi River toward the city with the slender Duoshen Pagoda rising above the tree canopy, or across the emerald tea terraces of Qishan toward the dramatic Dabie mountain ridges, showing tea bushes or willow branches in the foreground, the calm river waters and architectural monuments in the middle-ground, and the misty mountain peaks fading in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick emerald-green tea terraces of Qishan, pine forests of the Dabie Mountains, and weeping willows along the Pi River.
