1. Travel Tips:
① Ticket Price: $0.30;
② Best shooting times: Early morning or after 4 PM, when the light is soft.

2. Outfit Suggestions: Light-colored clothing will photograph better.

3. Additional Tips: This year's blooming season is later than usual. Last year, the flowers were in full bloom at this time. Visiting a week later would be the best time to see them.

Using a centered composition, the white chrysanthemum is placed at the center of the frame, highlighting the details of the petals. The photographer shoots from a slightly elevated position with a medium telephoto lens, incorporating a red railing, green plants, and yellow flowers on the right into the background, which are blurred to create a sense of depth. The foreground retains the chrysanthemum and green leaves, enhancing the layered effect.

Place the Chinese pavilion in the frame, preserving details such as the upturned eaves.

The photographer used a centered composition, placing the Taoran Pavilion stone monument in the center of the frame and fully including the informational plaque at the bottom. The shot was taken at eye level to ensure the stone monument is vertical and upright. The framing retains the red wall and brick background, enhancing the environmental atmosphere.
