I made a special trip to Nanjing just to photograph this plane tree-lined avenue

"A single phrase praising the beauty of plane trees led to them being planted all over Nanjing." Inspired by this romantic saying, I deliberately chose a weekend to fly to Nanjing solely to capture this iconic plane tree avenue that countless people have recommended! 📍Zhongshan Mausoleum Lingyuan Road 🚇Exit 1 of Muxuyuan Station, Metro Line 2 💡 Photography tips: ✔️ Telephoto lens (strong compression effect, captures the depth of the tree-lined avenue) ✔️ Low-angle shot looking up (avoids crowds, sky + plane trees create a cinematic composition) ✔️ Dynamic shots (wait for a cyclist or pedestrian to pass by for a livelier scene) Nanjing has many plane tree avenues, but Lingyuan Road is the most classic. Just a 5-minute walk from Muxuyuan Metro Station. Two rows of towering French plane trees intertwine to form a "green tunnel," with sunlight filtering through the leaves—the play of light and shadow is absolutely stunning! 📝 Final thoughts: Nanjing's plane trees are truly worth a visit. The scenery changes with the seasons, but autumn is especially romantic. If you love photography, don’t hesitate—just go for it❗️ Tips: The plane tree avenue has visitor flow restrictions, so driving is not recommended. Electric scooters are also discouraged after 8 AM. If you don’t want to walk, you can rent a shared bike or take the sightseeing bus in the scenic area.
