1. **Shooting Angle**: Choose a low angle and stand on the path beside the kapok tree to shoot upwards, highlighting the abundance and height of the kapok flowers.

4. **Props**: Pick up flowers from the ground to use as props while taking photos.

Shooting from a low angle and looking up, use the rule of thirds to position the stone lion on the left one-third of the frame. The right side should appropriately include the Zhongshan Park archway to create depth and visual balance. The composition should capture the entire silhouette of the stone lion and the Zhongshan Park sign. Include some greenery in the background to add a natural feel. Pay attention to the contrast between the stone lion's back and the text on the archway to emphasize the solemn and cultural atmosphere. Adjust the exposure as needed to avoid overexposure of the lion's details.

1. Travel Tips: Admission is free.
2. Other Tips: There is an underground parking lot at the south gate.

The photographer shoots at eye level, capturing the foreground of lotus leaves, the mid-ground with the model, and the background of trees and buildings, adding depth to the image. It is recommended to use a standard focal length to retain the details of the lotus leaves and the environment, creating a natural atmosphere.
