Zhongshan Park, adjacent to the Forbidden City, is also a good place in Beijing to admire ginkgo trees

Zhongshan Park, separated from the Forbidden City by a wall, is also a good place in Beijing to admire ginkgo and take portraits. In late autumn and early winter, the scenery in Beijing is particularly charming. No wonder Mr. Lao She once said: 'You must live in Beiping in autumn. I don't know what heaven is like, but judging from my life experience, the autumn in Beiping is heaven!'. The day before yesterday, I went to the Forbidden City. The autumn scenery of the Forbidden City is of course unparalleled. Walking among the red walls and yellow tiles, admiring the grand palaces and the swaying golden ginkgo in the courtyards, I felt as if I had traveled through the Forbidden City. But if it is difficult to make a reservation for the Forbidden City, then going to Zhongshan Park, which is separated from the Forbidden City by a wall, is also a good choice. Some people say 'There are thousands of ginkgo avenues, and the most beautiful in the capital belongs to Zhongshan', but some Beijing friends told me: 'There are no ginkgo trees in Zhongshan Park', so whether there is a ginkgo avenue in Zhongshan Park, I decided to find out. Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Yesterday after breakfast, I went straight to Zhongshan Park; in front of the Altar of Land and Grain in Zhongshan Park, I really got what I wished for. I saw the dazzling red walls and yellow leaves under the blue sky from a distance, and people taking pictures and checking in. The autumn scenery here is too pleasing to the eye. The red walls and ginkgo trees complement each other, forming a beautiful picture. Zhongshan Park ticket: full price 3 yuan, student 1.5 yuan, free for under 6 years old and over 60 years old.
