Dalian's autumn is a golden fairy tale dyed by ginkgo trees

Taking advantage of the peak autumn season, I visited Children's Park last weekend to enjoy the fall colors. The sunlight was just right, and although the park was crowded, every snapshot was a golden, healing scene.

📸 Must-visit photo spots
1️⃣ Beside Nanshan Coffee by the lake
The golden ginkgo trees and the lake complement each other beautifully. Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows. Standing under the trees, every shot looks like an oil painting!
2️⃣ Slide area
The ginkgo trees here are especially tall. Shooting from below easily captures a full screen of golden hues, and the playful slide in the foreground adds to the atmosphere.
3️⃣ Near South Gate 1
A portrait photography hotspot! Soft light plus a colorful fallen leaf background, backlighting makes hair strands glow.

🌳 Other photo spots

⚠️ Tips:
1. Best shooting times: before 10 AM / after 3 PM for the softest light
2. Recommended to wear light-colored clothes to match the autumn colors better

4. Bring a magazine or coffee cup as props to make your photos more vivid
