In autumn, the ginkgo leaves in Beijing turn yellow, making it the best time to enjoy the autumn scenery. If you want to avoid the crowds and enjoy the quiet autumn scenery, Yuyuantan Park at night is definitely your best choice. 📍Location: Yuyuantan Park is located in Haidian District, Beijing, and is famous for its beautiful ginkgo forest. The park is bustling during the day, but at night, it becomes a secret base for photography enthusiasts. 🕗Best time: Evening to night. As night falls, the park's visitors gradually disperse, and the ginkgo forest becomes particularly quiet, making it an excellent time to photograph ginkgo trees. It is expected that such beautiful scenery can last for about a week on windless days. 📸Photography equipment: • Tripod: At night, the light is insufficient, and a tripod can help you stabilize the camera and capture clear ginkgo scenery. • Camera: A professional camera can capture more details, but a good phone can also take satisfactory photos. • Lighting equipment: A flashlight or small LED light can provide extra light for your shooting when needed. 👗Dress suggestions: • The temperature is low at night in autumn, so remember to bring a warm coat. • Wear comfortable shoes, as you may need to walk a long distance in the park. 🚗Transportation: • Subway: Take Subway Line 1 to Military Museum Station, and walk to Yuyuantan Park. • Self-driving: There is a parking lot near the park, but it is recommended to plan your parking location in advance to avoid not finding a parking space. 🍂Shooting tips: • Long exposure: Use a tripod to fix the camera and try long exposure shooting to capture the dreamy effect of ginkgo leaves swaying in the breeze. • Low-angle shooting: Try shooting from a low angle to highlight the height of the ginkgo trees and the golden leaves. • Portrait photography: If you have company, you can use the ginkgo trees as a background to take some warm portrait photos. 🌟Tips: • Keep quiet and enjoy the tranquility. • Respect the environment and do not damage the ginkgo trees. • Bring enough batteries and memory cards, as you may take many beautiful photos.

Beijing in autumn is a golden fairy tale world, and the Diaoyutai Ginkgo Avenue is undoubtedly the most brilliant chapter in this fairy tale. Best viewing period: Mid to late November, when about 80% of the ginkgo leaves have turned yellow, and the golden leaves glisten in the sunlight, making it the best time to take photos. Transportation: Take Subway Line 16 to Yuyuantan East Gate Station (Exit B) or Ganjiakou Station, and walk to Diaoyutai Ginkgo Avenue. Recommended duration: 0.5–1 hour is enough to stroll along the entire avenue and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of autumn. Recommended route: Start from Ganjiakou Station on Line 16, walk to Diaoyutai Ginkgo Avenue, then to the east gate of Yuyuantan Park, and finally to the Central Radio & TV Tower to experience the urban scenery of Beijing. Tips: • Crowd management: Diaoyutai Ginkgo Avenue is a popular spot for viewing ginkgo trees in Beijing, so it can get crowded. Visitors with children should take care of them. • Avoid peak times: If you want to enjoy a quiet time viewing the leaves, it is recommended to go early in the morning. No reservation is required, and admission is free. • Leaf viewing route: The Ginkgo Avenue is about 1 km from south to north, and the ginkgo leaves in the north section are more golden, making it an excellent place to view the leaves. • Photography tips: Backlighting can also produce great photos. Use ginkgo leaves as the foreground to block some sunlight for a dreamy effect. • Ginkgo rain experience: If you want to experience the romance of ginkgo rain, pay attention to the weather changes and be ready to go at any time to enjoy the poetic scene of ginkgo leaves flying in the sky and falling on the ground. Outfit suggestions: Wear warm colors, such as orange and brown, to complement the golden ginkgo leaves and blend in with the warm autumn sun. Food preparation: Bring some light snacks and drinks to enjoy a leisurely picnic while viewing the leaves. Environmental awareness: Please protect the environment, do not litter, and keep the Ginkgo Avenue clean and beautiful. With this guide, you will be able to fully experience the beauty of ginkgo trees in Beijing in autumn and create unforgettable autumn memories.

This is a huge park, with a very big and nice lake in the middle, worth a walk through if you have around 2 hours free. Possibly do it if you have a couple hours spare before catching a train from the West railway station. Bear in mind that there is a river running on the South side of the park which is not easy to cross. There is however one bridge which crosses it and leads directly to the park entrance. There is a small charge for the park, but only about 5 rmb. The Cherry Blossom Festival is celebrated in Yuyuantan Park in spring (from late March to the end of April) every year. Yuyuantan Park is one of the best places to see flowers in Beijing. #beijingtrip #urbanexplorer #easylife

Beijing Yuyuantan Park: A Complete Guide The cherry blossom season at Yuyuantan Park has arrived as scheduled. Let's spend a wonderful time together. 🌈 To appreciate the cherry blossoms in Yuyuantan, you need to know where they are located: 🌟 As can be seen from the guide map, most of the cherry blossoms are distributed on the north bank of the West Lake in the northwest corner of the park. The cherry blossom garden is right after entering from the west gate. The main variety here is the Somei Yoshino, known as the "strongest king" in the cherry blossom world. 🌟 The east gate is the closest entrance to the subway station. The cherry blossoms near the east gate are mainly concentrated on the Yingbin Road and Liuchun Garden, which are fewer than those in the west gate. 🌈 The Central Radio and Television Tower is 405m high and is located on the west side of the park. It can be seen from most areas of the park. You can take pictures of the tower and its reflection in the lake, or you can take pictures of the tower and the cherry blossoms in the same frame. 🌈 The Zhongdi Bridge is 82m long and separates the East and West Lakes. It is built in the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties' northern official five-hole arch bridge. It is simple and elegant, and also has flood control functions. It is a landmark building of Yuyuantan Park. 🌈 In addition to cherry blossoms, Yuyuantan also has peach blossoms, winter jasmine, primrose and Iceland poppies, which bloom slightly earlier than cherry blossoms. 🌈 Yuyuantan Park is open from 6am to 9:30pm, and the ticket price is CNY 10 during the spring flower season.
