Use a 24-70mm lens on the camera or a 1-2x zoom on the phone to capture the red cherry blossoms and the Dongyue Temple architecture in the same frame, making the streetlights and cherry blossoms more prominent and three-dimensional. Ensure that both the foreground red cherry blossoms and the background temple are clear and sharp.

1. Equipment Settings: Set the aperture to f5.6 - f8.0.
2. Travel Tips: The soft light before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. adds a warm tone to the image, resulting in photos with a sense of texture. The peak blooming period of cherry blossoms is from late March to mid-April, when the flowers are at their most lush and vibrant. This is the best time for cherry blossom viewing and photography.
