I declare that the ceiling of Chengdu Ginkgo is here.

There are tracts of ginkgo trees here
It's so beautiful, as if you have entered a fairytale ginkgo forest.
This time is just right

📌Address: Yangmahe Ginkgo Garden
🚗Self-driving: It takes about 40 minutes to drive from the city center. There is a parking lot inside.
🎫Tickets: It was free before, but recently the ginkgo trees have started to turn yellow, and someone at the door is charging 10 yuan per person

📷Photography tips:
1. You can go earlier during the week when there will be much fewer people, otherwise you will have to wait a long time for a seat!
2. There is a small river next to the ginkgo forest. The photographer can use a telephoto lens to stand on the opposite side of the river and capture the bend of the river and its reflection.
3. You can bring some small props, such as newspapers, flowers, small baskets, transparent umbrellas, etc., to create a full atmosphere for your photos.
4. Clothes must be warm colors, beige, brown, orange, etc., so that the whole picture will look warmer and gentler. Fortunately, I brought a retro red dress, which turned out surprisingly well in the photo!

❗️Reminder: The best date to photograph the ginkgo forest in all yellow without post-production is mid-November. Not all leaves are yellow now. The colors of my photos were turned to warm tones in post-production. If you want a particularly yellow color and want the original photos to come out directly, it is recommended that you go in mid-November. But when it’s yellow, there are a lot of people. And by that time, most of the leaves will have fallen! Please decide when to go!
In addition: Shooting scenes like the forest will only look good when there is sunlight, as the sunlight shining on the leaves makes them appear golden.
Note: You can barbecue and camp on the site. Please remember to take your trash with you when you leave.
