We would like to present a general principle for the shrinking target problem in a topological dynamical system. More precisely, let
$ (X, d) $
 be a compact metric space and
$ T:X\to X $
 a continuous transformation on
$ X $
. For any integer valued sequence
$ \{a_n\} $
 and
$ y\in X $
, define
$ E_y(\{a_n\}) = \bigcap\limits_{\delta>0}\Big\{x\in X: T^nx\in B_{a_n}(y, \delta), \ {\text{for infinitely often}}\ n\in \mathbb N\Big\}, $
the set of points whose orbit can well approximate a given point infinitely often, where
$ B_n(x, r) $
 denotes the Bowen-ball. It is shown that
$ h_{\text {top}}(E_y(\{a_n\}), T) = \frac{1}{1+a}h_{\text {top}}(X, T), \ \ {\text{with}}\ a = \liminf\limits_{n\to\infty}\frac{a_n}{n}, $
if the system
$ (X, T) $
 has the specification property. Here
$ h_{\text {top}} $
 denotes the topological entropy. An example is also given to indicate that the specification property required in the above result cannot be weakened even to almost specification.
Keywords: Shrinking target, topological entropy, specification.
