Don't miss the exclusive autumn romance in Suzhou! 🍂 Two days to check in at two stunning ginkgo avenues, every snap looks like a masterpiece~ Autumn in Suzhou is truly breathtaking!
🚶♀️ Itinerary
Day 1: 📍 Daoqian Street
This hidden ginkgo avenue in Gusu District is an absolute treasure! It's best to visit in mid to late November when the entire street is covered in golden ginkgo leaves, creating a spectacular view. The best photo spot is near the intersection with Ganjiang Road; before 9 AM, there are fewer people, so you can have the whole avenue to yourself~😍 Wearing a light-colored sweater and long skirt makes for even better photos!
Day 2: 📍 Hanshan Temple
This ancient temple with over 1,000 years of history paired with golden ginkgo trees is truly stunning! Be sure to capture photos of the temple eaves with the ginkgo leaves for a full Chinese cultural vibe~ The 18 RMB entrance fee is totally worth it! It's recommended to visit around 3 PM when the sunlight gently shines on the ginkgo leaves. Afterward, you can take a stroll at the nearby Tingzhong Park~
📸 Photography Tips

🍁 Travel Tips
