Encounter light and shadow, encounter Nanjing, and enjoy autumn inside Xuanwu Lake. Feeling joyful.

Visiting Nanjing must include checking out Xuanwu Lake in autumn—it's absolutely stunning! The ginkgo and phoenix trees are as beautiful as an oil painting, and every photo looks like a masterpiece 🍂 📍【Xuanwu Lake Travel Guide】 Address: No. 1 Xuanwu Lane, Xuanwu District, Nanjing Opening Hours: Open 24 hours for free (daytime visits recommended for safety) 🚶‍♀️Recommended spots to check in: 1️⃣ Yingzhou Corridor: Golden ginkgo paired with a traditional Chinese corridor, full of ancient charm 2️⃣ Lakeside Road Phoenix Tree Path: Autumn phoenix leaves cover the ground, making a soothing rustling sound when stepped on 3️⃣ Couple’s Garden Ginkgo Forest: A vast ginkgo forest with beautiful light and shadow filtering through the leaves 4️⃣ Jiefangmen City Wall: Capture historic scenes with ginkgo and the Ming City Wall in the same frame 📸Photo Tips: - Wear beige or camel-colored clothes to match the ginkgo perfectly - The light is softest before 10 AM or after 3 PM on sunny days - Pick up fallen leaves as props to instantly enhance the atmosphere Although I encountered rainy and overcast weather, I unexpectedly found that ginkgo in the rain has even more charm! However, it’s still recommended to visit on sunny days for better light and shadow effects~
