I made a special trip to Nanjing in the autumn to capture the ginkgo and maple leaves here

Where is the best place to see autumn colors in Nanjing? The ginkgo trees at Chaotian Palace are definitely worth a visit! 📸 This autumn, I found a stunning hidden gem in Nanjing for you—the Nanjing Museum (Chaotian Palace). The golden ginkgo leaves beautifully complement the ancient-style architecture, and every shot looks like a masterpiece. I saw a couple strolling under the ginkgo trees, and the scene was as beautiful as a painting! 📍Address: No. 4 Chaotian Palace, Wangfu Street, Qinhuai District 🕰️Opening Hours: Tuesday to Sunday 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM (last entry at 5:00 PM), closed on Mondays 🎫Ticket Price: 23 RMB Tips for visiting: 1. It’s best to come between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM when the lighting is perfect for photos 2. Use the upturned eaves of the ancient buildings creatively as foreground in your shots 3. Wearing light-colored clothes will make your photos stand out more 4. The ginkgo season is popular, so it’s better to visit on weekdays Nearby Food: After visiting, you can explore the nearby Yihe Road Republican Mansions area, which has many artistic shops and cafes. Not far away, Xinanli also offers a variety of special snacks. I recommend trying the lotus root starch dumplings and osmanthus sugar taro shoots, both are autumn specialty desserts.
