Experience a Golden Fairytale World!

Handicrafts: Recommended: Ginkgo leaf bookmarks and ginkgo nut bracelets, CNY 10–20/piece. 3. Photography Guide Best Locations: The middle section of Ginkgo Avenue, where the light penetrates the leaves, creating a strong sense of layering. High points in the village, overlooking the panoramic view of the golden village. Shooting Techniques: Use a wide-angle lens to capture the panorama and a telephoto lens to highlight details. When the morning mist lingers, the ginkgo village looks like a fairyland. 🍜Food Guide: 1.
