Yongzhou, Hunan | Tongzi'ao | A great place to enjoy autumn.

Known as the "No. 1 Ginkgo Village in China", Yongzhou Tongzi'ao welcomes the most beautiful ginkgo trees in mid-November. The village is home to more than 3,000 ginkgo trees, including more than 200 ancient ginkgo trees over 100 years old. Let's go and check in at the 1,600-year-old ancient ginkgo tree, the giant tree king with a diameter of more than one meter. Best time to view ginkgo trees: November to December 🚗Self-driving travel guide: Navigate to "Tongzi'ao Scenic Area" and drive about 2 km after seeing the No. 1 Ginkgo Village in China to reach the scenic area. Ticket 🎫: 💰40/person 💡Travel tips: 1⃣Transportation between scenic spots is relatively scattered. If you decide to go, it is best to set off 4-5 hours in advance. We spent about 3 hours on the road, and the shuttle bus will not go to the scenic area. It takes about 1 hour to walk to the ginkgo forest. 2⃣Check the local weather conditions before departure and choose clothes of appropriate thickness. It is cold in Changsha. My companion wore a down jacket and almost got heatstroke. Although the mountains are surrounded, the road is very crowded, and there are so many people that you can't even open an umbrella. So, ladies, put on sunscreen! 3⃣Photos taken on the mountain are very white, and the light is very strong. So, if you want to take beautiful photos, it is best to wear bright clothes. We all wore black clothes, and the effect was not very good. Many ladies wore red clothes, which were beautiful, but it depends on the person. Young people can try green, blue, white, and other bright colors they like. 4⃣If you are picky about food, you can prepare a small amount of snacks (too difficult to carry), but it is best to prepare more water. Because you will be really thirsty. 5⃣If you don't have a car, it is recommended to go back at 4 pm at the latest. Because there are very few shuttle buses passing by, we carpooled back to Lingling.
