A must-visit in Nanjing! The red walls and ginkgo trees make for stunning photos, less crowded and more beautiful than the Forbidden City!

Queues and crowds at the Forbidden City! The century-old ginkgo trees in Nanjing Drum Tower Park moved me to tears😍 🍁 A magical autumn-only photo spot Red walls and black tiles × golden ginkgo = a perfect match❗️ Every snap is a mood-filled masterpiece📸 And there are really fewer people! No fighting for the best spot~ ✨ The architecture here is super special From the outside, it looks like traditional Chinese style🏮 But inside hides European-style buildings The blend of East and West is so interesting! 📍 Address: No. 1-1 Beijing West Road, Gulou District 🚇 Transport: Take Metro Line 1 or 4 to Gulou Station, Exit 4A, then a 3-minute walk 🕒 Hours: Open all day 🎫 Admission: Free! Free! Free! 📷 Gear: Nikon D810 (even on rainy days, the photos look amazing) 💡 Nearby recommendations: ✔️ Within walking distance to Gulou shopping area, super convenient for shopping after photos ✔️ Yihe Road is nearby, you can explore Nanjing’s most beautiful autumn scenery in one afternoon ✔️ Ming City Wall Ruins Park is also close, a perfect route for a city walk
