Choose the right time to take photos: Golden hour is key
The best time to take photos of the Tengchong Ginkgo Festival is before 10 a.m. and after 4 p.m., when the sunlight angle is just right to bring out the colors of the ginkgo leaves to their fullest. Morning mist may affect the color of the leaves, so don't miss this golden hour.

Utilize the foreground: By shooting ginkgo leaves or other small items as the foreground, you can increase the layering of the picture.

👗Clothing matching: more suitable for the beautiful scenery
Autumn-style clothing complements the golden ginkgo leaves, so you can choose some warm tones such as khaki, brown, etc. At the same time, you can also match it with some warm-colored jewelry or props, such as hats, scarves, etc.

Food Recommendations
Tengchong has many special foods, such as chicken cooked with ginkgo nuts, wild mushroom hotpot, Tengchong sour soup fish, etc. You can taste more delicacies during the Ginkgo Festival. I love Kaige’s restaurant and bar, new-style Yunnan cuisine, and mushroom hotpot.
Kind tips:
In autumn and winter, the temperature difference between day and night in Tengchong is large, so remember to bring warm clothes such as coats, scarves, and more!
Carry enough batteries and memory cards to avoid missing wonderful moments due to low battery.
Don’t forget to bring your swimsuit to soak in the health-preserving hot springs. The enthusiastic uncles and aunts in Ginkgo Village will also recommend popular hot spring pools!
