When visiting Nanjing, don't just go to Wutong Avenue; the Wutong Avenue at Xuanwu Lake is also stunningly beautiful.

How can you miss Xuanwu Lake in early autumn when you come to Nanjing! I recently went to Xuanwu Lake, and the Wutong Avenue is breathtakingly beautiful 🍁 Every shot looks like a masterpiece, ladies, hurry up~ 📍Travel Inspiration This time I specifically went to Xuanwu Lake to shoot the autumn Wutong trees. You can see the entrance to the scenic area right after exiting Exit 3 of Xuanwumen Station on Metro Line 1. I recommend going between 3-5 PM to shoot; the sunlight on the trees is especially gentle~✨ 📸Photo Tips 1⃣️ Be sure to bring a telephoto lens! Just standing under the Wutong trees and shooting a back view creates a very artistic vibe. 2⃣️ Try shooting the silhouette of the Wutong trees from below, using the blue sky as the background. 3⃣️ Find some fallen leaves as props and place them in front of the lens for a fantastic bokeh effect. 4⃣️ Wear beige, camel, or red-toned clothes to match the autumn colors better. 🚶Recommended Activities Besides checking in at Wutong Avenue, you can also: • Ride a bike around the lake trail (bikes are available for rent in the scenic area) • Row a boat on the lake and watch the sunset • Visit the cute Mingcheng Milk Tea (a newly opened check-in spot) 🍂Useful Information • Address: No. 1 Xuanwu Lane, Xuanwu District • Transportation: Xuanwumen Station on Metro Lines 1 and 3 • Suggested visit duration: 2-3 hours • Admission: Free 💡Tips 1. Remember to wear a sun hat on sunny days 2. It can be windy by the lake, so dress warmly 3. Convenience stores inside the scenic area are expensive, so bring your own snacks 4. Weekends are crowded but it doesn’t affect taking photos After shooting, you can enjoy a bowl of authentic Nanjing Pidu noodles at the nearby old brand "Apo Noodle House." The shop is small, but locals line up to eat~
