Must-see Cherry Blossom Viewing at Hongkou Football Stadium! These Photo Angles Help You Avoid the Crowds.

I rode my bike around Hongkou Football Stadium twice this afternoon and found that the cherry blossoms here are in full bloom, absolutely stunning! The park's cherry blossom area has crowd control, with the east side entrance and the southwest side exit, so remember not to go the wrong way. Here are some photo tips and routes to share with everyone: Exit from Exit 2 of Hongkou Football Stadium Station, walk up the overpass, and you can take a panoramic shot from a distance. This path leads directly to the stadium, and it's usually not crowded. After descending the stairs, walk towards Lu Xun Park and queue up at the entrance. Once inside, there are many people, so walk further in. At the corner, there are fewer people, and you can take upward shots. If you're lucky, you might capture a train in the background. Further inside, it's mostly upward shots. At noon and in the afternoon, you can take close-ups with backlighting. Use your phone's 3x zoom, increase the exposure, and shoot upwards. You can also use portrait mode. Remember to find a good spot and wait for a moment without people to snap your shot. Walk towards Exit 6, where the trees on the left are shorter and closer, perfect for group photos or close-ups with a clean background. Exit 6 is the exit, where you can capture the road sign and a screen full of cherry blossoms. After leaving the park, turn right. At the exit and on the sidewalk outside, use zoom to capture a whole row of cherry blossoms along the streetlights. Walk back along the sidewalk towards Exit 3 of the subway station. Look to the right, find a good angle, and you can take beautiful photos without people in them.
