It's hard to imagine that this is "Autumn in Shanghai". It's so exciting.

Autumn in Shanghai is like a shy girl, coming late but still beautiful. The perfect collision of late autumn and early winter, like the pen and ink of a poet, depicts a colorful picture. As the temperature in Shanghai gradually drops, this magical city has entered the best period for viewing maple leaves. In the center of Shanghai, we don’t have to go to Kyoto or travel across mountains and rivers to the suburbs. We can appreciate the intoxicating "maple" scenery by just strolling in the large public green space of Yan'an Middle Road in the center of Shanghai. This open urban garden, Yanzhong Green Space, is colorful at this moment, like a rich autumn watercolor painting. In the green space, dense trees and bushes, open lawns, small bridges and ponds complement each other. However, what attracts people the most is the branches full of red maple leaves, which are clustered and dotted among the lush green trees. The red maple leaves bathed in sunlight are even more picturesque, as if every leaf is telling the story of autumn. Here, the wooden boardwalk, lakeside viewing platform, water reflections, fallen leaves, and geese have all become excellent props for photographers. Standing on the wooden plank road, the scenery on the bridge and the maple forest complement each other, with quite a bit of Kyoto charm; standing on the observation deck by the lake, the picture surrounded by maple leaves and redwoods seems like an oil painting; the reflection on the surface of the stream can reflect the beauty of ginkgo, red maple, metasequoia and other scenery, and some fallen leaves are also particularly beautiful; although the fallen leaves on the ground are mainly red maple, there are also some ginkgo leaves, and the golden scene is also very beautiful; and in the green land, occasionally you can see a few geese strolling leisurely on the lawn, or playing in the water in groups, adding a bit of vitality to this autumn color. The sun sets early in winter, so it is recommended to complete the shooting before 4 o'clock. If conditions permit, a telephoto lens is the best choice. Nearby attractions: Cadillac Shanghai Concert Hall: the best time for ginkgo trees to turn yellow; Yanfu Green Space: a small green space with a long ginkgo trail; Julu Road 158 Sunken Plaza: a European-style pavilion, spiral staircases, and ginkgo trees that are almost all yellow; Ruijin InterContinental Hotel: a combination of British castle architecture and red maple and ginkgo trees, the red maple trees are in season. Now is the best time to enjoy the maple season, when "the mountains are covered with red and the forests are dyed with colors". The attractions shared above are all very close to the road. Find a warm afternoon on the weekend and go to wander in the colorful autumn! 📍Attractions: Yanzhong Green Space 🚘Navigation: Yan'an Middle Road Square Park
