1. Perspective: Shoot from a low angle, with the photographer standing in the denser area of the purple-leaf plum within the small garden, maintaining a certain distance from the Xi'an TV Tower. This positioning ensures that there are enough purple-leaf plums as foreground elements while also capturing the entire TV tower in the frame, creating an atmosphere of being surrounded by blooming flowers.

2. Composition Techniques: Employ the frame-within-a-frame and foreground composition. The branches of the purple-leaf plum form a natural frame on the top and sides of the image, guiding the viewer's gaze towards the central TV tower. The large area of purple-leaf plum in the foreground not only enriches the content of the image but also, through the contrast of focus, highlights the clarity of the TV tower, enhancing the layering and three-dimensionality of the image.

3. Lens Recommendation: Use an ultra-wide angle lens with a focal length of around 70mm.
