Jun 10, 2025
Hi, I’m Yishun‼️
Usually in Shenzhen, I rarely get to feel the autumn vibe🍂
This time I rushed straight to Beijing for autumn, and it’s unbelievably beautiful
Late October to early November should be the BEST time
Please keep this nanny-level guide handy
Here’s how I planned my itinerary this time✈️
·
𝘿𝙖𝙮❶ Old Summer Palace ➡️ Ditan Park
𝘿𝙖𝙮❷ Zhongshan Park ➡️ Beiluoguxiang ➡️ Shenwumen
·
❶ Zhongshan Park (Pics 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,16)
If you can’t find your way, just head to the center of the park
You’ll see the gate and ginkgo trees on both sides
Walk a bit further to find a small bridge and more ginkgo trees
·
❷ Shenwumen (Pic 8)
Located between Jingshan Park and Shenwumen
Near Shenwumen there’s a small path
You can capture ginkgo trees paired with Shenwumen
The whole path is great for photos
·
❸ Beiluoguxiang (Pic 8)
Beiluoguxiang is full of cultural vibes
Just a bit crowded and the street is narrow
Lots of people and vehicles passing through
·
❹ Ditan Park (Pic 10)
This spot is truly amazing but requires a telephoto lens
·
❺ Old Summer Palace (Pics 10-15)
You can easily spend a whole day exploring the Old Summer Palace
If pressed for time, half a day for photos works too
Start at the Apple Pavilion for shots like 11 and 12
Then head to the ginkgo avenue for shot 14
·
It’s peak ginkgo yellow season now
Everyone must not miss it!
