Best Season to Photograph the Ancient Ginkgo Temple

Address: No. 4 Hanfu Street, Xuanwu District, Nanjing (near Changjiang Road and Meiyuan New Village Memorial Hall) Metro: Take Line 2 or Line 3 to Daxinggong Station, exit from Exit 1 or 6, then walk about 10 minutes to reach the temple. Bus: Multiple routes reach Daxinggong North Station or Presidential Palace Station; walk from the stop to the temple. Admission: Approximately 20 RMB per person (prices may vary, please refer to on-site announcements) Opening Hours: Usually from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Must-Visit Photo Spots In front of the Hall of Heavenly Kings: This is the core area where the king ginkgo tree stands. The golden canopy complements the plaque of the hall perfectly, making it a must-capture angle. Beside the Bell Tower and Drum Tower: Use the flying eaves and upturned corners of the ancient towers as foreground or background for a composition full of layers. Stone Steps and Courtyard: Look down at the ground covered with fallen leaves to feel the poetic mood of "leaves fall, signaling autumn." You can also take close-up shots of the leaves from above. Wanfo Building Corridor: View the ginkgo trees through the window frames of the corridor, creating a natural picture frame with a unique charm.
