Autumn power walk in Changsha! Encounter a golden rain of Koelreuteria trees at Yuehu Park 🌳 Snag stunning autumn fragments!
Recommended reasons:
Changsha's top autumn spot! Koelreuteria trees turn golden and cover the ground 🍂
Transportation tips:
📍Address: Yuehu Park, Wanjiali North Road, Kaifu District, Changsha
🚌 Transport: Metro Line 3, Yuehu Park North Station, Exit 1, 5-minute walk
Route plan:
1️⃣ East Gate Entrance ➡️ Metasequoia Trail
Hundred-meter Metasequoia corridor! Caramel-colored fallen leaves form a carpet, perfect for running shots with a cinematic feel
📸 Tips: Light is softest before 9 AM, backlighting makes hair glow
2️⃣ Lakeside Boardwalk ➡️ Koelreuteria Avenue
The lake reflects the golden Koelreuteria trees! Pick a complete Koelreuteria flower and press it in a book as a natural bookmark
⚠️ Secret spot: Stone steps at the end of the boardwalk, crouch low to capture fallen leaves and the lake in the frame
3️⃣ Reed Marsh ➡️ Egret Viewing Platform
Reeds taller than a person! When the autumn wind blows, they ripple like waves
Chance to see wild egrets hunting, remember to bring binoculars
Must-visit spots:
🌳 Golden Storm: Five connected Koelreuteria trees beside the East District lawn, when leaves fall it looks like golden rain
📚 Literary Autumn: Floor-to-ceiling windows of the library on the lake island, Koelreuteria trees reflect on the glass like an oil painting while reading
Avoid pitfalls:
☑️ Use a reflector for portraits! Faces get shadowed under tree shade
☑️ Security cleans fallen leaves after 4 PM, shoot early
☑️ Picnic on the West Gate lawn, mats are prohibited at the East Gate
