Nanjing | The ginkgo trees at Pilu Temple have finally reached their best viewing period!

Morning sunlight filters through the branches of century-old ginkgo trees, casting dappled shadows on the bluestone pavement. In front of the solemn Buddha statue, golden fallen leaves cover the path, as if time itself has slowed down. In this moment, Pilu Temple becomes the most healing corner of autumn in Nanjing. Starting this weekend, Pilu Temple is expected to see a peak in autumn visitors, with the best viewing period lasting about a week.
