A must-visit photo spot in Nanjing: photographing the ginkgo trees.

Golden autumn special! The stunning ginkgo season in Nanjing, who would have thought to find such a perfect photo spot at Chaotian Palace📸 . 📍Nanjing Museum (Chaotian Palace) 🚇Transportation: 10-minute walk from Zhangfuyuan Station on Metro Line 1 🎫Ticket: 23 RMB (closed on Mondays) ⌛Best time to shoot: mid-November to early December . ✨Secret photo spots shared: 1️⃣The ginkgo trees in front of Dacheng Hall are definitely the star spot, with golden leaves and red walls of ancient buildings making for amazing shots. Remember to shoot when sunlight filters through the leaves for stunning light and shadow effects. 2️⃣The side hall on the right is much less crowded, where you can capture ginkgo trees and eaves in the same frame. 3️⃣There is also a big ginkgo tree in the small courtyard behind Wenyuan Pavilion, with the ground covered in golden fallen leaves—super romantic. . ⚠️Tips: - It’s recommended to wear light-colored clothes to match the red walls and ginkgo trees. - Go right when it opens at 9 AM for the best light and fewer people. - Don’t forget to bring a telephoto lens to capture perfect compositions of ginkgo and architecture. - On weekends, you might see ladies in Hanfu taking photos here, which adds a great vibe! . 📷Photo pose ideas: 1️⃣Stand under the ginkgo tree and shoot upwards. 2️⃣Sit on the stone steps with ginkgo leaves in the foreground. 3️⃣Pick up a ginkgo leaf as a prop. 4️⃣Shoot framed through the side door. .
