Use a frame composition, utilizing the archway as a visual frame to combine the distant scenery (red tree shadows) with the nearby plum blossoms, creating a sense of depth. The photographer should stand in a slightly lower position and shoot from a low angle, allowing the plum blossom branches to occupy the upper part of the frame while highlighting the archway in the center. It is recommended to use a 50mm focal length (1x on a phone) to avoid overcrowding in the image. 1. Travel Tips: ① Admission: Free ② Opening Hours: 6:00 AM - 9:00 PM 2.
