A must-visit for autumn viewing in Nanjing! The Chinese tallow trees at Mochou Lake have turned red—miss it and you'll have to wait another year

Late autumn in Nanjing🔥 The pinnacle of Chinese tallow trees is here! Every November, the entire Mochou Lake is dyed in vibrant red and orange hues, making every photo look like a cinematic masterpiece📸 📍Location: Mochou Lake Park, Jianye District, Nanjing ⏰Best viewing time: Mid to late November (perfect timing now!) 🎫Tickets: 35 RMB (half price for seniors and children) ✨Must-do experiences: ✔️Take photos under the Chinese tallow trees by the lake, with the water reflecting stunning red maple colors ✔️Walk on the stone steps covered with red leaves, the rustling sound underfoot is super soothing ✔️Ride a punt boat on the lake and watch the red leaves ripple with the waves 💡Key tips: 👉Recommended to visit on a sunny afternoon between 3-5 PM, the red leaves glow under the sunset! 👉Wearing white or light-colored clothes makes your photos stand out even more~ 👉The densest Chinese tallow trees are on the east shore of the lake; arrive early for fewer crowds and better scenery Everywhere feels like a romantic scene from a Wong Kar-wai film🎬 Elderly playing chess, children playing, couples cuddling... this is the exclusive autumn romance for Nanjing locals~ While the leaves are still red, come quickly! Missing it means waiting another whole year😭
