Photographers can position themselves 2 to 4 meters away from the Yulan magnolia tree, allowing the model to wear light-colored, traditional or minimalist clothing. The model can naturally walk around the tree, gently sniff the flowers, or slightly tilt their head with a gentle smile. Use a lens with a focal length of 50-135mm, set the aperture between f2.0 and f4.0, and adjust the shutter speed and ISO according to the light conditions. Capture the beauty of the Yulan magnolias, the dignity of the red walls, and the elegance of the model in one frame.

1. Travel Tips: It is recommended to visit during the Yulan magnolia blooming period from mid-March to the end of March.
2. Additional Tips: When the snow-white or light purple Yulan magnolias bloom among the red walls and green tiles of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the beauty of the fusion of history and nature is fully displayed. Here, every casual shot is a beautiful scene with ancient charm.
