Autumn in Shanghai | Enjoy the best red maple leaves at Qiuxia Garden

|Enjoy the best red maple leaves at Qiuxia Garden. The red maple leaves at Qiuxia Garden are famous, and now is the best time to see them. ❤Recommended reasons: There are more than 150 maple trees in the garden, including red maple, green maple, Japanese maple, and feather maple. This year, the leaves turned red a little later than usual due to the temperature. In autumn, the leaves gradually turn from green to red, and finally become fiery red and colorful. The red maple leaves are not just a single red color, but include a variety of shades such as dark red, orange-red, and light red, with distinct layers and stunning beauty. In the sunlight, the maple leaves are even more vivid and dazzling, as if they are the most exquisite work of nature, making Qiuxia Garden even more enchanting. 🗓Attractions: The garden is divided into four areas: Peach Blossom Pool, Ningxia Pavilion, Qingjing Lake, and Yimiao Temple. In my opinion, except for Yimiao Temple, the three areas should correspond to three surnames. Peach Blossom Pool is for the Shen family, Ningxiang Pavilion is for the Jin family, and the rest is probably for the Gong family. But the three attractions are connected by pavilions and corridors, blending with each other. ⏳Travel tips: [One] Best time: Mid-December, when the maple leaves are the most colorful, is the best time to enjoy the maple leaves. [Two] Recommended route: After entering Qiuxia Garden, you can walk along the main road and visit attractions such as Peach Blossom Pool, Ningxia Pavilion, and Qingjing Lake in turn. Among them, the maple leaves by Qingjing Lake are particularly spectacular, making it an excellent place for taking photos. [Three] Photography tips: Backlit photos of maple leaves are particularly good, as they highlight the translucent texture of the leaves. At the same time, using the contrast between the white walls and black tiles of ancient buildings and the red of the maple leaves and the yellow of the ginkgo leaves can create a visual effect of Oriental aesthetics. [Four] Clothing suggestions: It is recommended to wear light-colored clothes to form a sharp contrast with the maple leaves, which will make the photos look better. 📍Address: No. 314, Dongdajie Street, Jiading District 🚉Transportation: Take Metro Line 11 to Jiading North Station, then transfer to Bus No. 12 and get off. 💰Average cost: CNY 10 for admission 🕙Opening hours: 8:00–17:00 ⏳Duration: 2 hours 📝Tips: During the maple leaf season, you can enter the park from the west gate to avoid the crowds.
