Autumn-exclusive orange, three persimmon groves around Shanghai

Besides ginkgo and maple leaves, the most anticipated thing in autumn is persimmons.
The little orange lanterns are really beautiful.
Last year, I photographed three persimmon groves around Shanghai.
Looking at the latest photos this year, the best viewing period is almost here.
Plan for the weekend❗️

🧡 Hangzhou · Meili Persimmon Exploration
This is my favorite persimmon grove!
Over 100 acres of tea gardens with many persimmon trees planted in between.
You can walk along the tea garden paths.
Several trees have persimmons hanging very low,
making it perfect for portrait photography.
There are two small viewing platforms with orange railings,
which are also great for shooting from below or above.

🧡 Shaoxing · Jingshan Village
The area is large, and it has the most people among the three persimmon groves.
It’s recommended to walk up the mountain where there are far fewer people.
The popular round hole photo spot is also available at the mountain top, so you don’t have to squeeze with crowds below.
You can casually stroll and shoot along the way.

🧡 Ningbo · Shilin Village
Located in the Dan Shan Chi Shui Scenic Area of Siming Mountain, Yuyao.
Tickets are required, so it’s not recommended if you don’t like hiking.
If you’re only here to photograph persimmons,
just head straight to the “King Persimmon Tree” inside the scenic area!
There is a 600-year-old persimmon tree here,
with many persimmon trees around it.
Using old houses combined with persimmon trees for framing creates a great shooting effect.
