Shanghai's Autumn Highlight! Golden Ginkgo Trees on Huangjincheng Road Make for Legendary Photos

Who understands! Shanghai's autumn is romantically nourished by the ginkgo trees on Huangjincheng Road~ The 800-meter pedestrian street is wrapped in layers of golden yellow, the sound of crunching leaves underfoot, and looking up reveals a canopy of golden foil-like branches. When the wind blows, a shower of "golden rain" falls, and even the air carries a warm poetic feeling🌤️ I purposely arrived early to grab a spot by the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor of Xinyi Art, where the sunlight slants through the leaves, filtering the ginkgo's gold into a gentle creamy color. Using a coffee cup as a prop, a casual snap instantly creates a cinematic atmosphere! The European-style arches and street lamps along the street are hidden gems too, framing the tall buildings with branches and leaves in the foreground, instantly capturing a fresh Japanese vibe✨ Wearing an off-white knit sweater and beret fits perfectly 100%! The light between 1 and 2 pm is the best; backlighting captures the translucent golden glow of the leaves. Natural interactions like picking up fallen leaves or looking up at the tree canopy are more photogenic than posed shots~ When tired from walking, sit down in a street-side café, watch the golden swaying through the glass window, and let the aroma of a hot latte blend with the autumn atmosphere—this is what Shanghai's autumn should feel like🍂 📍Address: Huangjincheng Road Pedestrian Street, Changning District (near Yili Road) 🚇Transport: Line 10 Yili Road Station Exit 3 / Line 15 Hongbaoshi Road Station Exit 2 ⏰Best time: Before 10 am on weekdays or 3-5 pm (less crowded and good light)
