Hidden Gem Around Hangzhou! Red Leaf Zhinnan Village, the Ultimate Autumn Photo Spot

Millennium-old ginkgo trees carpet the ground in gold, layered terraced fields reflect vibrant colors, and ancient villages hide charming vibes. Autumn in Red Leaf Zhinnan Village is truly wallpaper-worthy with every snap, no filters needed! 📸 Must-visit photo spots 1️⃣ Millennium Ginkgo King: A "living fossil" over a thousand years old, with golden leaves covering the ground alongside ancient village stone paths. Wear light-colored clothes and stand under the tree for an instant atmospheric shot! Key tip: come early in the morning when it's less crowded and the light is soft for a more magical photo~ 2️⃣ Terraced Field Viewing Platform: Although the rice has been harvested, the layered contours of the terraces still look stunning! Bring a telephoto lens to easily capture the majestic scene of distant mountains, terraces, and the ancient village in one frame with excellent composition. 3️⃣ Tianchi (Heavenly Pool): The "blue sapphire" hidden in the mountains, with colorful forests reflected on the clear lake surface. Quiet and beautiful, sit down and shoot some slow-motion footage for an instantly divine atmosphere. 4️⃣ Stone-paved Alley: Wander through century-old houses; any silhouette or turn of the head tells a story. Vintage-style photos are effortlessly captured here. 🚗 Transportation, Food & Tips - Transportation: About 1.5 hours by car from Hangzhou (navigate to "Red Leaf Zhinnan Scenic Area"), parking at the village entrance costs 20 RMB/day; public transport is very convenient—take Metro Line 16 to "Lin'an Square" and transfer to a bus. - Food: Fresh Lin'an mountain walnuts just came into season in October; farmhouse free-range chicken soup is fresh and tender, dried bamboo shoots with braised pork are savory and perfect with rice—authentic local flavors. Be sure to try Lin Meimei’s ma ci (glutinous rice cakes), specially supplied for the Hangzhou Asian Games, soft and not sticky! - Tips: The best viewing period is now (mid to late November). This year the ginkgo turned yellow late, so you’re catching the peak scenery! It’s recommended to arrive before 10 AM on weekdays to avoid crowds and catch the best light. Afternoon backlighting can make photos look dark~
