The Red Staircase Enclosure at the Yi Xi Site in Beijing

Photo Spot Recommendations: 1️⃣ Iron railing, with flowers right behind, slightly angled view will make the flowers look denser.
2️⃣ Model by the lower river, photographer on the upper stair side, use some flowers as the foreground for stunning shots.

Peach blossoms usually bloom from mid-March to early April.
Optimal shooting times are from 9-11 AM or 3-5 PM when the light is soft, and shooting with the light can make both the peach blossoms and the subjects stand out more. For other times, consider backlighting with a reflector.
Afternoons tend to be busier, so if you want to avoid the crowds, opt for the morning. After 1 PM, the number of people starts to increase.
Considering Beijing's usual human traffic, this place is relatively quiet. 🖐🏻
