Wangwu Mountain Ginkgo Guide|Encounter the Golden Autumn Under the Millennium-Old Tree Crown

⛰️When visiting Wangwu Mountain, besides climbing high to enjoy the view, there is a golden expectation—the millennium-old ginkgo tree. It is not only a witness to history but also lights up the entire valley every autumn with its golden leaves. ⛰️Originally a casual visit, but when the golden canopy that covers the sky and blocks the sun comes into view, you instantly understand what "this scene should only exist in heaven" means. This limited autumn gift is worth a special trip. · ⛰️Attraction: Wangwu Mountain Millennium Ginkgo Tree 📍Location: In front of Yangtai Palace, Wangwu Mountain Scenic Area, Jiyuan City, Henan Province 💰Ticket: Included in the Wangwu Mountain Scenic Area entrance ticket (65 RMB/person) 🚗Transportation: Take the shuttle bus to the "Millennium Ginkgo Tree" stop · 🧳Travel Tips 0⃣️This millennium-old ginkgo tree is about 2000 years old, said to have been planted during the Han Dynasty. It is about 45 meters tall with a canopy that covers the sky. The best viewing period is from late October to mid-November. 1⃣️Best photo times: 8-10 AM or 3-5 PM, when the slanting sunlight makes the ginkgo leaves show the most translucent golden color. 2⃣️Must-capture angles: ① Shoot upward from under the tree to capture the canopy and sky; ② Use the red walls and black tiles of Yangtai Palace as the background; ③ Capture the moment when leaves are falling; ④ Photograph the beautiful intertwined tree roots at the base. 3⃣️Outfit suggestions: White, red, Hanfu, or other clothing that contrasts sharply with the golden ginkgo leaves for excellent photo results. 4⃣️If weekends are crowded, it is recommended to visit on weekdays. Mornings have fewer people and better light, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful moment. 5⃣️Combine your visit with Yangtai Palace; the combination of red walls and golden leaves is the ultimate expression of Chinese classical aesthetics and should not be missed. 6⃣️There is a blessing area under the tree where you can write blessing ribbons and hang them, but please do not carve the tree or break branches. · ❤️Warm Tips ✅The best viewing period for ginkgo lasts about 3 weeks. It is recommended to check official Wangwu Mountain Scenic Area information or local weather before traveling. ✅There is a large temperature difference between morning and evening in the mountain area during autumn, so bring a windproof jacket and pay attention to sun protection. ✅When photographing fallen ginkgo leaves, you can prepare small props like books or oil-paper umbrellas to add storytelling to your photos. ✅Most roads in the scenic area are stone steps, so wear comfortable and non-slip shoes. ✅Please protect the ancient tree: do not climb the tree, do not shake the branches, and consciously maintain environmental cleanliness. ✅Local villagers sell ginkgo nuts and other specialties under the tree. You can buy as needed but please pay attention to quality identification.
