2025Ginkgo Viewing in Beijing|trip.com

Whenever the capital is soaked in autumn, ginkgo trees carve the ancient capital with gilded colors.

The ginkgo trees in the Forbidden City have a unique charm against the red walls and yellow tiles. The golden leaves dot the ancient palaces, and the bricks and tiles are interwoven with the poetic years of the ginkgo trees. Walking between the palace walls, it seems as if you can hear the whispers of history and autumn.

In the Summer Palace, ginkgo trees are distributed everywhere, beside the West Embankment and the ancient buildings. The golden branches and leaves sway in the wind, blending with the scenery of lakes and mountains, adding a bit of agility and romance to this garden. Walking among them is like entering a painting.

In the Temple of Heaven Park, the ginkgo trees are tall and straight, and the golden color of the trees is more solemn against the backdrop of ancient buildings such as the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. When the sun shines, the golden leaves sparkle and fall all over the ground. People walk through them, not only appreciating the beauty of the ginkgo trees, but also feeling the solemn atmosphere of the royal sacrificial sites, which is really pleasant.
