Not the Suzhou Gardens, but Chengdu Yiyuan

📍Location: Chengdu Yiyuan Garden Museum ⏰Best time: 10 AM / 3 PM (soft light, no backlight) Who says autumn in Chengdu only smells like osmanthus? The autumn garden at Yiyuan is stunningly beautiful beyond words! Fiery red maple leaves and gently yellow ginkgo, combined with the antique-style covered bridges and lake, make every corner look like it stepped out of a painting. The best part is it's quiet with few people, so no need to squeeze for photos; even casual shots on your phone come out great. Wearing Hanfu or light-colored clothes is even better! When you get tired, you can have a cup of hot tea in the garden's tea house and immerse yourself in Chengdu's slow life. Tips: There is a parking lot at the park entrance, making self-driving very convenient. It’s recommended to reserve 2-3 hours to stroll leisurely~
