Although this is just a green belt outside the east wall of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, once late autumn arrives, it becomes the most beautiful scenery in Beijing's urban area.
Walking in it, the sunlight shines through layers of yellow leaves onto the ground. The light spots keep changing with the wind, and the surroundings are golden, which is very beautiful.
Here you can see couples cuddling each other, old couples holding hands, shy girls, and young men carrying cameras and taking pictures of girls, without feeling the coolness of autumn at all.
This is also a must-visit place for photographers. The light is best in the early morning and evening. However, there are a large number of tourists every day in autumn. If you want to take good pictures, it is recommended to come here in the early morning.
The best time to view Ginkgo Avenue is from mid-October to early November every year, with some fluctuations depending on the weather.

Outside the east wall of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, rows of tall ginkgo trees form a ginkgo landscape avenue. I went there on October 19 last year, but unfortunately they had not turned yellow yet. Later, I went to the Olympic Park, where the ginkgo trees had turned yellow, which made up for my little regret.
Outside the east wall of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, there is a nearly 1,000-meter-long ginkgo tree belt. After the ginkgo leaves change color in autumn, a golden belt surrounds the outside of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. Many people come here to take pictures. The light and shadow are beautiful, making people linger!
I was a little disappointed that I didn't see the scenes that everyone took when I went there.
Ginkgo Avenue in Beijing is well worth a visit. Of course, there will be many people there. It was raining when I went there, so there were fewer people.
Warming up the ginkgo in early winter, grabbing the tail of autumn 🍂 🍂 🍂
You can still go there while the leaves haven't fallen yet. 😁😁
Actually, there was nowhere else to go nearby, so we went to Ginkgo Avenue. I suggest you go there in autumn, as the ginkgo leaves at the end of September have not yet started to turn yellow.
I had planned to go there last week, but I missed it because I was shopping on Double Eleven. I missed the most brilliant colors, but it is still beautiful. The place is just outside the wall of Diaoyutai. It is not very big, but it is definitely the most authentic autumn colors in Beijing. I highly recommend it.
The leaves had not yet completely turned yellow the last time I came, but this time the ground was covered with golden color, and the scenery was nice.
The ginkgo tree on the outer wall of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse (visited on November 11, 2018) had just turned yellow, and it shone even more golden in the sun. It was just that there was a bit of dirt on this ginkgo avenue, and when I went out, my shoes were all covered with dirt.
Ginkgo Avenue beside Diaoyutai
I come here every year to take pictures and see the fallen leaves.
In recent years, there are more and more people, and it feels very lively.
After a week of smog, we finally saw blue skies on the weekend.
Although the air is cool, we still take advantage of the sunshine to take a walk.
Walking along the wall feels like returning to my childhood Beijing
I took a few photos of silly movements and expressions.
Reminded me of my parents' childhood photos
Haha, it turns out that this is also the case when taking photos
The leaves have turned yellow. Everyone, go there in the next few days.
This place is famous, but the leaves fell too quickly this year, the scenery looks average, maybe I am too picky. Usually people are OK, this week is just right.
I just went to Ginkgo Avenue yesterday. The weather was bad, so there were relatively fewer people. It wasn't crowded. If you want to take good pictures, I suggest you go in the morning when the weather is good.
Most of them are yellow and crowded. Worth a visit.
I just went there today. The leaves are not all yellow yet. There are still quite a few people there. It's better than on Saturdays and Sundays.
The Diaoyutai Ginkgo Forest is dyeing. You can go there every day to observe its gradual dyeing.
I went there on 2018.10.24. Now I can only see green leaves.
I went there yesterday, the leaves were still green, I will go again in a few days when they turn yellow
It's still green now, no yellow at all. It misled me. I ran so far, it's really disappointing.
When autumn comes, if the ginkgo leaves turn yellow, it will be really beautiful.
It’s not time yet. I won’t go later. Hahaha
Ginkgo Avenue, located outside the east wall of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, is also called Diaoyutai Ginkgo Avenue. In late autumn in Beijing, the best time to enjoy ginkgo trees is from early to mid-late November. There are many ginkgo trees in the whole city of Beijing, but this one is the most famous and the most beautiful. However, there are many people on weekends, and we caught up with them. We couldn't appreciate the feeling of the thick ginkgo leaves between the two rows of ginkgo trees. Two days before we went there, there was a heavy snow in Beijing. The whole ground was wet, and there was no scenery. We could only enjoy the scenery on the trees. If you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery in your mind, you still have to go on weekdays, or go there in the morning. To get here, take the subway from Muxidi Station and walk for about fifteen minutes. The bus is about the same. There is no entrance fee here. After visiting here, you can also go to the nearby Yuyuantan Park to have a look. The entrance fee to Yuyuantan Park is 2 yuan.
Next to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, a lucky spot, when the leaves turn yellow, the scenery will be very beautiful
I went there on November 19, 2017. The leaves on the trees had basically fallen off, so there were not many people. I have to say that this is a holy place for taking photos ~ It's worth a visit~~~~~
It is a ginkgo avenue outside the wall. We went there last fall and were really shocked when we arrived. It was packed with people. Some came in strange clothes, some brought their own photographers. People like us who came here on a whim without any preparation were really helpless.
On November 17, 2017, I came at the wrong time and all the ginkgo leaves had fallen off. See the picture for proof.
The scenery is nice and there are many people, just like a market. But if you just go there to take a look, you will miss the sense of beauty.
The scenery is nice but there are a lot of people. I took a sneak shot of a pretty girl's back and was caught😂😂
The long Ginkgo Avenue is a great place to enjoy the autumn scenery with all kinds of people, young and old. Very romantic! It is very suitable to go with someone you like!
The characteristic of Ginkgo Avenue is that the ginkgo trees are densely packed. The two neat rows of ginkgo trees are one or two hundred meters long and very tall, which is suitable for taking pictures. There are many people every time you go there. In early November, the leaves have fallen seriously, so it is recommended to watch it early.
Beijing is most beautiful in late autumn and ginkgo trees are most beautiful from October to November
I went there today. I got off at Muxi subway station and rode a yellow bike to get there in a few minutes. There were too many people at noon, so I don't know how it would be in the morning. I should have come a few days later. Some leaves were not yet yellow. I don't recommend it because there were too many people. I'll say it three times because it's important.
I went there last week. It's not completely yellow yet, but it's still beautiful.
If you go there now, the ginkgo leaves are not yet fully yellow, so the photos you take won't be particularly pretty. It's best to wait another week.
Take Exit A1 of Line 1 at Muxidi, and it's about 600 meters away. It's not completely yellow yet, but it should be almost yellow in a week. Try not to go during holidays, as there will be a lot of people... It's not bad to take photos in the sun
When I went there yesterday, the leaves were still green, so it would be better to go there in November.
It was great. It was raining when we went there, and the photos my friends sent me afterwards were quite beautiful!
I went there in early November, the leaves were basically yellow, but there were too many people on the weekends
The beginning of November is the most beautiful time of the year! The golden ginkgo trees are everywhere!
My workplace is in Ganjiakou. Although September is the beginning of autumn, the ginkgo trees will turn yellow and have fallen leaves in November. Therefore, November is the most beautiful season in Ganjiakou. Not only the Ginkgo Avenue in Diaoyutai, but also rows of ginkgo trees on Fucheng Road, are particularly autumnal. I go there to take pictures every year. I must say that there are a lot of people on weekdays and weekends. In fact, the Ginkgo Avenue is not suitable for taking pictures because of the crowds. If you want to take beautiful pictures, it is best to find an empty corner in the middle of Fucheng Road to take pictures. The ginkgo trees there are just as beautiful. If there are major foreign affairs activities in Beijing, the Ginkgo Avenue on the east wall of Diaoyutai may not be open. Please do your homework in advance, but it doesn't matter, you can take pictures on Fucheng Road.
The most beautiful season is when the ginkgo leaves turn yellow. There is nothing to see at other times.
In the ginkgo forest in winter, the branches are full of yellow leaves, and some yellow leaves are scattered on the ground. The warm winter sun shines in obliquely from the sky, giving people a refreshing feeling.
It is right next to Diaoyutai. It is really beautiful here in autumn. It is very pleasant to stroll under the ginkgo trees.
Diaoyutai Ginkgo Avenue is not a very long road, but it is very famous. Although it is on the side of the road, it is also a unique landscape.
For Beijing residents and tourists from other places, this place is a great spot for autumn outings. After visiting major attractions such as the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace, you may want to take some time to come here to admire the ginkgo trees.
In late autumn, outside the walls of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, the ground is paved with gold.
I was in a slightly depressed mood after watching the concert, and coupled with the rainy weather, I felt not very good at all. After getting off the subway and walking towards Diaoyutai Ginkgo Avenue, I saw the scattered golden patches in the distance, and my mood improved a little.
As I got closer, I found a Samoyed that looked very similar to Baobao, and then I thought of Daxixi. I must really love Daxixi, even though all Samoyeds seem to look similar.
Directions: Take Metro Line 1, get off at Muxi Station and exit from Exit A.
I went there on the 19th. I could no longer see the beauty of the ginkgo trees, but there were ginkgo leaves everywhere. It might be the fallen leaves that made the smell here a bit...
This place is suitable for admiring apricot leaves in early November, it is still very beautiful.
Actually, this is a good place to watch fallen leaves, but it is also because it is located in the city center and the transportation is very convenient. So generally speaking, there are a lot of tourists and it is difficult to take a good photo. Even if you don't go there for taking pictures, there are so many people and the fallen leaves are trampled into pieces, which will not make you feel good. So if you want to go, you must go at a suitable time, so that you may be surprised.
Every late autumn, I will see the name of Ginkgo Avenue. It's just that the photos are too beautiful. Haha, I finally waited until this time. Go straight out of Muxidi Station on Metro Line 1, and you will see a crossroads. Cross the road and go straight to the right to reach Diaoyutai Ginkgo Avenue. If you see a lot of people holding cameras on the road, it means you are on the right track, haha. Ginkgo Avenue is not a park or anything, and you don't need a ticket. It's just a road full of ginkgo trees outside Diaoyutai Hotel. This road is very long and feels very good, and the ground is a dirt road, and the fallen leaves will not be swept. When we went there, it was early November, and the leaves were not completely yellow, but they were also very beautiful. If it was a week later, around the 10th, it would be more beautiful. There are many people taking pictures here, and you will see many photographers taking pictures here. If you don't have good shooting skills, you can ask them by the way. It's best to come early in the morning, there are not many people, and it's also good to take pictures. I saw a lot of girls taking pictures with a ginkgo leaf, so when you go, you can consider getting a bright-colored nail polish. It feels good to come here to take pictures with beautiful clothes.
The legendary Ginkgo Avenue. Early November is the right time, just don't go on weekends, haha
There are so many people, and I can't help but be good at taking photos. I suggest you bring a hot pack~
The Ginkgo Avenue next to the outer wall of the famous Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. Maybe it was too early, or maybe it was because there was an autumn rain two days ago, the yellow leaves here were not abundant. To be honest, the number of ginkgo trees cannot be compared with the yellow leaves in Zhanggezhuang, Changping. But it is also a very distinctive landscape. I hope that next time I can visit it at a suitable time when there are abundant yellow leaves.
The golden yellow ginkgo leaves are so beautiful. Unfortunately, more and more people come to take photos, so it is not so easy to take a good photo.
I went there today, the leaves haven't turned yellow yet, I think it will look better if I go there in ten or twenty days
Ginkgo Avenue is very famous in autumn, but the ginkgo trees on both sides often fail to change color at the same time, and the leaves are not lush. The length of the entire road is also limited, so it is even more difficult to take a clear photo of yourself among so many tourists.
A must-go place every autumn. The transportation is quite convenient. After shopping, you can go to the nearby Ganjiakou Building for shopping and dining. It is a one-stop service.
The ginkgo trees are particularly beautiful in late October and early November.
We went there in early November. It was early and the leaves were not yet yellow. There were a lot of people, but it didn't affect the photography.
The Diaoyutai Ginkgo Forest is located outside the east wall of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse on Sanlihe Road, Xicheng District. It has now become a landmark for viewing ginkgo trees in Beijing and a good place for Beijingers to enjoy autumn, think about autumn, miss autumn, and love autumn. People who visit and take photos are excited, posing in various poses, and there are also newlyweds taking wedding photos, full of happiness.
Autumn is like a painter, dyeing the ginkgo tree with brilliant colors. The ginkgo tree has an extraordinary temperament, beautiful and unique, beautiful and radiant, but beautiful but not ostentatious. The sight of ginkgo trees is shocking in the sun, and the leaves spread out on the ground like a long golden carpet, pure and romantic. The ground is covered with ginkgo leaves, and each leaf shines with the color of the sun, so soft that it makes people hold their breath and stop.
The ground is full of ginkgo leaves, which make a rustling sound when stepped on. They are soft and fluffy. I picked up a ginkgo leaf. In the sun, the veins of the ginkgo leaf are clear and the color is soft. Put it in the palm of your hand, and there are fine leaf veins on the edge of the leaf. The autumn leaves are full of the simplicity of nature in winter, spring and summer. The autumn wind blows and the fragrance wafts. The air also has the smell of ginkgo trees.
The streets covered with ginkgo leaves make people feel like they are walking in a painting or in a poetic mood. The ginkgo trees are pure and simple, and they glow with golden color when the sun shines on them. Looking up at the branches, you can see the blue sky, which is deeply dotted with wispy white clouds. The golden ginkgo trees complement each other.
The scenery is so-so. You should go to Ao Sen to see the ginkgo trees.
In early winter every year, Ginkgo Avenue is golden and beautiful.
Time: November 2014, November 2015, etc. The scenery of yellow ginkgo leaves in autumn is very beautiful. If it snows before all the leaves fall, it will be amazing. I took my wedding photos here in 2014.
Diaoyutai Ginkgo Avenue is a must-go place for commuters every day. In autumn, it is crowded with people. I can only wait until the ginkgo leaves have almost fallen before taking pictures.
This year's warm winter~~The place I went to was not completely yellow yet~~~~But it was already very beautiful~~~~~A world full of sunshine~
The designated scenery in November requires a personal visit to appreciate its beauty.
There are few ginkgo avenues in Beijing, which are very suitable for photography enthusiasts. Unfortunately, they were under martial law several times. It has become a landmark for viewing ginkgo in Beijing, and a good place for Beijingers to enjoy autumn, think about autumn, miss autumn, and love autumn.
Going to Ginkgo Avenue, you will see the bustling crowds and the trampled ginkgo leaves. This scene is very sad... If you have an aesthetic interest, you can go to the Old Summer Palace to see it, which is much better.
In late autumn, the fruits are ripe. When the grass and trees turn yellow, it is a good time to enjoy the leaves. In addition to going to Xiangshan to enjoy the red leaves in Beijing, it is also a good choice to go to see the golden ginkgo leaves. There are many places to enjoy ginkgo in Beijing, such as Ditan Park, Olympic Forest Park, Peking University, Tsinghua University and other campuses are all good places to enjoy ginkgo, but the No. 1 place to enjoy ginkgo in Beijing is Diaoyutai Avenue.
Diaoyutai Avenue is actually an ordinary road next to Diaoyutai Hotel. Because of the ginkgo trees planted here, it has become a popular tourist attraction in Beijing in recent years. Every autumn, countless people come here to take photos, especially on weekends. Generally, the best time to take photos is from late October to before November 20. I went to Ginkgo Avenue in the afternoon, and it feels better to take photos at this time. As soon as I arrived, I saw a lot of photography enthusiasts gathered there, and there were many beautiful models posing in various shapes. It looked very lively. Compared with other places in Beijing, the ginkgo trees here are larger and more concentrated. Early November is the most beautiful period for ginkgo trees.
Ginkgo trees are majestic, with twisted trunks and lush greenery. In China's famous mountains and rivers, ancient temples and monasteries, there are tall and upright ancient ginkgo trees. They have experienced vicissitudes of life and traced back to ancient times, giving people a sense of mystery. Poets and writers of all dynasties have left many poems and essays in temples, engraved monuments to record the beauty of the scenery, and recorded their merits and virtues to show their pride. Selecting ginkgo trees with graceful postures and processing them into bonsai, the majestic posture of ginkgo trees in nature is concentrated in the pot, which is ancient, elegant, wild and interesting. It is a pleasant and pleasing display on the desk.
Many places, such as Chengdu, Sichuan, Huzhou, Zhejiang, and Dandong, Liaoning, have made ginkgo trees their city trees. Ginkgo is known as a living fossil. In the past, it was rare, but now that it has been planted more and more, we can appreciate this beautiful ginkgo.
I like the golden ginkgo leaves and the feeling of walking on the thick leaves.
It is recommended to visit the ginkgo trees at 4-5 pm. The dappled sunlight shining through the leaves is amazing! !
When the yellow ginkgo trees dyed the whole city, Beijing became Peking. Diaoyutai Ginkgo Avenue is the most famous spot for viewing ginkgo trees. The first snow came early this year, and the leaves fell before they turned yellow, but we were still lucky enough to take pictures of the yellow-green ginkgo forest, which was simply beautiful. There were also many people who came here to see the trees, and it was almost impossible to avoid the crowd and take an empty shot, so we had to look up at the camera at a 45-degree angle.
Diaoyutai Ginkgo Avenue, a scenic spot in Beijing in autumn
A golden ocean, with sunlight shining through the yellow leaves, creates a beautiful landscape.
The scenery is nice but there are more and more people.. A must-go every autumn
I went to Shijiazhuang and passed by Beijing, so I rushed to see the ginkgo leaves. My kids had seen it in a book, so they were looking forward to it. This place is not far from Beijing Station. It is convenient to take the subway, but it takes more than 10 minutes to walk. There is also a bus stop next to it. I felt average when I arrived. The ground was full of dirt, too dirty. It was okay to walk around and take pictures. There were many photography enthusiasts here, and they chased my little girl to take pictures. Later, I went to the nearby Yuyuantan Park for a walk. When I left, I seemed to walk through the South Gate (turned). After I came out, I accidentally discovered another small forest, which was more beautiful, cleaner, and less crowded. Unfortunately, we were both tired and didn't feel like it, so I just took a few photos. Next to it is the Military Museum, but I didn't have time to see it. I will have a good time in Beijing again if I have the chance.
