Photography Tips
The model stands in front of the cherry blossom garden, right next to the green guardrail, with the photographer positioned 3-4 meters directly in front, shooting from a slightly low angle to capture the blooming cherry blossoms. 1. Equipment: - Camera: Fuji XT-5 - Lens: 16-50mm 2. Posing Suggestions: - Face the camera, spread your arms, and slightly tilt your head up. - Stand sideways to the camera, slightly tilt your head up, and place your hands together in front of your body. 3. Travel Tips: - Admission: $10 per person - Opening hours: 6:00 AM - 9:30 PM, last entry at 9:00 PM - Arrive before 9:00 AM for shooting or visit in the evening to capture the night cherry blossoms; other times are very crowded. Recommended to wear light-colored clothing, such as a white dress, a pink top with a white skirt. The overall style should be fresh and elegant, complementing the cherry blossom background. Adjust the angle during shooting to use backlighting or side lighting to highlight the translucency of the cherry blossoms. You can use a bench as an additional shooting point to add depth to the shot. Try naturally spreading your arms, looking up at the sky, or standing sideways and gently touching the cherry blossom branches to create a natural and beautiful atmosphere. It's suggested to carry a small handbag, white or pink accessories, or use a transparent umbrella to add depth to the photo. Plan to visit on a clear morning or late afternoon when the light is soft, and avoid peak crowd hours. The best time for cherry blossom viewing is from late March to early April.
Walking Guide

In front of the防护line of the cherry blossom garden on your left is the best spot for taking photos. Note: The word "防护" (fáng hù) means "protection" or "defense." In this context, it might be better to use "fence" or "barrier." Here’s a more natural translation: In front of the fence of the cherry blossom garden on your left is the best spot for taking photos.

After entering, turn right and follow the small path on the right for 100 meters until you reach a fork.

Turn left at the intersection onto Fucheng Road South Second Street and go straight for 350 meters.

Turn right and walk 120 meters to reach the North Gate of Yuyuantan Park.

Take the small path to the right at the fork and walk for about 10 meters.
