Pay attention to this time period for photographing ginkgo trees on Yuer Road in Dali Ancient Town!

Now is the best viewing period for the ginkgo trees on Yuer Road in Dali Ancient Town, but you must take photos before 5 PM. Before this time, the afternoon sunlight makes the ginkgo leaves glow golden, perfect for photos! Starting at 5 PM, the ginkgo trees closest to the West Gate of the Ancient Town (Cangshan Gate) begin to lose sunlight. From 5:00 to 5:20 PM, the entire Yuer Road gradually loses sunlight from west to east. Be sure to seize the time, as the ginkgo leaves are slowly falling! The photos were taken from the Cangshan Gate tower opposite March Street, offering a panoramic view of the ginkgo trees along Yuer Road. You can enjoy a cup of coffee and sit there all afternoon. The view from above is especially good, with the entire Erhai Lake and Ancient Town in full sight, making it a great spot for photos.
