The autumn atmosphere in Nanjing is at its peak. The golden autumn breeze between the phoenix trees and ginkgo trees

Autumn in Nanjing is just amazing🍂! The Ginkgo Avenue on Lingyuan Road is definitely the highlight of Nanjing's autumn. Every casual shot looks like a masterpiece. Today, I'll share my autumn viewing checklist with you～

📍Lingyuan Road (Address: Xuanwu District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province)
This avenue of phoenix trees, known as "Nanjing's most beautiful 600 meters," turns into a golden sea in autumn. Sunlight filters through the golden phoenix leaves, and every step you take on the road feels like a scene from a magazine✨. The best part is it’s open all year round, all day long, so you can visit anytime!

📸 Photo tips:
- It’s best to go before 10 AM or after 3 PM when the light is soft and perfect for photos
- Wearing camel, white, or red autumn clothes matches perfectly with the golden phoenix trees
- Stand in the middle of the road to shoot a back view, or pick up a fallen leaf as a prop for a great atmosphere
- Shooting from above can capture the entire golden phoenix tree-lined road, which is super stunning

🍂 Best viewing period:
The best time is from mid to late November to early December each year. The yellow leaves flutter for about two weeks, so it’s recommended to keep an eye on the real-time leaf fall situation～
