Traveling from the mountains to downtown Shanghai, just for this century-old ginkgo tree!

Autumn in Downtown Shanghai | Century-old Ginkgo and European Style In Shanghai's most beautiful season, you don't need to travel far to see a stunning autumn scene in the city center - the century-old ginkgo tree at the Ruijin Hotel. Ginkgo trees are common in the south, but when they are set against European-style buildings, they have a unique charm. Ruijin Hotel, a garden villa hotel built in 1917, has a century-old English castle style. Every autumn, the old ginkgo tree in the fountain garden becomes the most dazzling gem in the hotel and the surrounding area. This 89-year-old ginkgo tree is now in its prime. Its thick trunk is like a kind old man, opening his warm arms to protect the four directions; its drooping branches and leaves are like golden curtains, swaying gracefully in the wind, shining in the sunlight, like a magical tree full of gold coins in a fairy tale, making people yearn for it. If you want to avoid the weekend crowds, why not take advantage of today's pleasant weather and come to see this autumn scene. 📌Tips: 1. There are ginkgo trees at both the east and west gates of Ruijin Hotel. If you have time, you can take a stroll and enjoy the scenery. 2. The ginkgo and red maple trees are now in their best viewing period, and the autumn scenery in the garden is like a painting, with a view at every step. 3. The cultural park opposite the Maoming Road gate of the hotel is also a good place to see ginkgo trees, with a forest of ginkgo trees and a sea of gold. 4. This is also the filming location of the movie "This Is Not What I Expected" starring Takeshi Kaneshiro and Zhou Dongyu, and witnessed the engagement of Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling, where history and art blend. 📍Location: 207 Maoming South Road, Ruijin Hotel West Gate 🚇Transportation: Metro Line 1/10/12, South Shaanxi Road Station
