"The most beautiful ginkgo in Shanghai is here! Admission is free, taking photos is a great deal!"

If you want to find a good place to take pictures of ginkgo leaves in Shanghai, Ruijin Hotel is definitely one of the must-go places. At this time of year, the big ginkgo tree is simply a super photogenic existence. There is an old fountain under the ginkgo tree, and with the golden ginkgo leaves all over the ground, it looks like a scene from a movie. The coolest thing is that Ruijin Hotel is open to the public for free. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery without spending any money, and taking beautiful photos is a real bargain! I arrived at 1:30 p.m. and there was almost no one under the ginkgo tree at that time, so I could take pictures freely from any angle. It felt like I could blend into the beautiful autumn scenery. But when I finished taking pictures and left, there were more people around, and it became a bit difficult to take a nice photo of the ginkgo tree. Therefore, if you are a photographer, it is recommended that you go there early in the morning. There will not be many people there before 12 o'clock, so you can take pictures quickly and well. After 14:00 in the afternoon, the number of people gradually increases, especially on weekends, making it more difficult to take "empty shots". This place is not only beautiful for its ginkgo trees, but the Ruijin Hotel itself is a classic of old Shanghai. You can feel the strong historical atmosphere just walking in the courtyard. The maple leaves next to it are also beautiful. Although not as bright yellow as ginkgo leaves, the red leaves in autumn are also a kind of beauty. So, if you plan to take photos here, you can also take photos of the maple leaves, the effect will be great. The whole tour took about an hour. I walked slowly and took some photos. It felt like time passed very quickly. The transportation is also very convenient. It is only a 10-minute walk from Exit 6 of Shaanxi South Station on Metro Line 10 and Line 12. If you come by car, you can park directly in the underground parking lot of Ruijin Hotel or the Cultural Square next to it. Parking is also very convenient. In general, the ginkgo scenery at Ruijin Hotel is one of the most beautiful I have ever photographed, and it is open to the public for free. It would be a pity not to go. If you also like taking autumn photos, or simply want to find a quiet place to take a walk, this is a good choice. There are actually many such hidden attractions in Shanghai in autumn, and Ruijin Hotel is definitely one of the "Internet celebrities" among them!
