The winter sun in Chengdu is particularly precious, so we took advantage of the sunshine to see the ginkgo leaves. Jinyang Village in Dujiangyan has the largest ginkgo forest. We went late this year, and most of the ginkgo leaves had fallen. Only a few ginkgo leaves are left on the top of the tree. There are many ginkgo forests here, and they are all big trees. If you walk a little further in, you can see many trees, and it is also very photogenic. The entrance to the village was filled with cars. On the roadside, there were old men and women selling ginkgo nuts. All of them were peeled and very fresh. You could see them peeling the nuts. 5 yuan per pound was really cheap. Before leaving, I bought a pound to stew chicken with ginkgo nuts at home. There are also many people selling vegetables 🥬, you can buy some to take home if you need. They are all grown at home. There are also farmhouses nearby where you can eat and drink tea. They are in the ginkgo forest, which is really romantic, especially when the sun is out. You can bask in the sun, drink tea, and admire the ginkgo leaves. The photography is also very good. 🎡Jinyang Village-The First Ginkgo Village in the West 🏔Address: 50 meters north of Yanjin Road, Dujiangyan City, Chengdu 🎫Tickets: Free 🅿Parking: You can park on the roadside, very convenient 🚗Navigation: Just navigate to "Western Ginkgo First Village" to arrive —————————— Ginkgo leaf viewing | Good place for kids | Good place for taking photos | Free tours around Chengdu If you like my notes; Welcome to [Like, Comment and Follow]~
