Its pavilions, rockeries, bridges, and flowing water create a perfect backdrop for the beautiful cherry blossoms. Wearing traditional Hanfu clothing for photos here creates an amazing atmosphere. For the best shot, use a pavilion with traditional Chinese architecture as your background, stand under a cherry blossom tree, and shoot from a low angle to capture both the flowers and the pavilion in your frame. • Lakeside Cherry Blossoms: The garden has a lake where cherry blossoms and water complement each other. Using the lake and cherry blossoms as a backdrop, both close-ups and half-body shots will look stunning. 👗Outfit suggestions: Light-colored clothes pair perfectly with cherry blossoms, such as white dresses or light blue shirts, which look fresh and photogenic. Wearing Hanfu or JK uniforms also creates a great atmosphere, allowing you to capture beautiful photos in different styles. 🍜Food Recommendation: After visiting Guizhen Garden, you can try Weifang's specialty meat fire-baked buns. They have crispy crusts and savory fillings. Pair them with a steaming bowl of Chaotian pot soup for an incredibly satisfying meal. 💕Small tips: • Try to avoid weekend peak hours for fewer crowds and no waiting for photos. • Enter the garden around 9am when the sunlight is gentle and the cherry blossoms look especially vibrant in the morning light, perfect for taking photos from various angles. • Bring mosquito repellent, as mosquitoes become active in spring.
