Shooting Time: 3-5 PM, when the light is better.
Shooting Equipment: Fuji XE4 + 18-50mm f2.8.
Outfit Suggestions: The zoo has a lot of cute decorations, so you can dress in a youthful and vibrant style. If you're specifically there to capture the Changguanlou scenery, try a vintage-style dress.
Posing Tips: If you're unsure about poses, you can look down at the camera, look up at the sky, or look down at the ground.
