The photographer stands low and shoots upward, using cherry blossom branches as a foreground frame around the Oriental Pearl Tower. The camera position is slightly below the branches, employing a frame-within-a-frame composition. A 24-35mm focal length (camera) or 1x zoom (phone) is used, which retains the surrounding environmental details while emphasizing the main subject. Travel Tip: By mid-to-late March, individual blossoms have already started to open. With continued warming, the flowers will bloom quickly, so plan your visit soon to capture the best views.

Walking Guide

Exit at Lujiazui Station from Metro Line 2/14, take Exit 2. After exiting, go up to the Lujiazui Roundabout Pedestrian Bridge. The small open area at the bottom of the下行扶梯 is the shooting spot. (Note: "下行扶梯" can be translated as "down escalator" or "lower escalator" depending on context. Here, I've used "down escalator" as it seems more natural in English.) So, the revised translation is: Exit at Lujiazui Station from Metro Line 2/14, take Exit 2. After exiting, go up to the Lujiazui Roundabout Pedestrian Bridge. The small open area at the bottom of the down escalator is the shooting spot.
