The top autumn attraction: 400-year-old ancient ginkgo trees in Yuyuan Garden have reached their best viewing period

The ultimate romantic spot in Shanghai this autumn is none other than here! Two ancient ginkgo trees over 400 years old in Yuyuan Garden are now fully golden, welcoming the most stunning moment of the year✨ 📸 Photo tips: 1️⃣ Best time: Early morning or 3-4 PM in the afternoon, when sunlight shines obliquely and leaves are most translucent 2️⃣ Perfect spots: • Shoot looking up near the Nine-turn Bridge, capturing ginkgo and flying eaves in one frame • Sit on the stone steps under the tree, with fallen leaves as a natural foreground • Shoot through carved window frames to enhance the classical atmosphere 3️⃣ Outfit suggestions: Off-white/camel-colored sweaters, Hanfu looks even better in photos! 📍 Inside Yuyuan Garden (near Nine-turn Bridge) 🕘 Recommended visit time: 2 hours 🚇 Metro Line 10/14 Yuyuan Station When the autumn wind rises, golden leaves flutter like butterflies, dappled light falls between green tiles and white walls, as if traveling back 400 years to Jiangnan. Now is the peak time for the "golden forest and wild charm." Hurry and invite your friends this weekend to capture this limited-time romance~❤️
