The photographer positions themselves close to the red wall, shooting slightly upwards from a camera height slightly below the eaves, emphasizing the contrast between the eave lines and the magnolia blossoms. Using the rule of thirds, the camera is set to a 35mm focal length, with the red wall and eaves occupying the bottom third of the frame, while the magnolias and blue sky fill the top two-thirds, creating a layered composition. 1. Travel Tips: Opening hours are from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with the last entry at 4:30 PM. 2. Additional Tips: It's easy to capture empty, crowd-free shots just before the 5:00 PM closing time when the area is being cleared.
