The most complete ginkgo citywalk route on Huangjincheng Road and surrounding areas

💫 Huangjincheng Road's ginkgo trees are the most famous in Shanghai, but today I want to recommend another ginkgo forest path with very few people and amazing photo spots. 💛 It's right near Huangjincheng Road, and combined with the ginkgo trees on Yili Road, you can form a citywalk route. The total length is less than 2 kilometers, easy and not tiring to walk, and you can also take the subway or a taxi, which only costs the starting fare. 🚶 Route: Huangjincheng Road - Manner Coffee — Yili Road Subway Station - Shanghai International Dance Center Gate 2 (Ginkgo Forest Path) P.s. You can't find "Shanghai International Dance Center Gate 2" on Apple Maps, but you can locate it directly on Didi or use Gaode Navigation. 💡 Photography tips 1️⃣ Huangjincheng Road - Manner Coffee The ginkgo leaves are almost all yellow, and many have fallen. Ladies, hurry to shoot before a strong wind blows them all away. I arrived at 9 a.m. on a weekday, so there was almost no one. By around 10 a.m., the aunties had already arrived. You can check out their shooting spots, y1s1, they are quite good at finding angles. p4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 2️⃣ Yili Road Subway Station The ginkgo trees are in the green belt, they look nice but are not easy to photograph because of the heavy traffic. Exit 1 of Yili Road Station on Line 10, turn left and you will see them. p18 3️⃣ The highlight: Ginkgo Forest Path next to Shanghai International Dance Center Gate 2 It’s really great for photos, with a vibe like Japanese or Korean dramas. The ginkgo trees are tall and dense, with golden sunlight occasionally shining through the branches. Three rows of ginkgo trees with two small paths in the middle, the paths are covered with fallen ginkgo leaves—what a magical scene. Key point: very few people on weekdays, so you can shoot freely. p2, 3, 7, 10, 11, 12 🧚‍♀️ Ladies, save this quickly, call your friends on the weekend, and go for it!

The Bund

Exploring Beijing and Shanghai? This trip gave major city vibes — think riverside strolls, cutting-edge buildings, and chill coffee breaks ☀️🏙️ Here’s my guide to the best spots I found in Shanghai! Top Spots to Visit in Shanghai: 1. The Bund (Zhongshan East Road, Huangpu District) Must-visit for sunset or night views! Stroll along the Huangpu River and catch epic skyline shots (totally Instagrammable). It’s open all day, so no rush — just go when the light is right. Tip: Visit during weekdays in the late afternoon to avoid crowds! 2. 1000 Trees This modern architectural wonder is where art and nature fuse — the building’s exterior is literally bursting with greenery. Bring a camera, especially on sunny days (makes those Nature-Vision/Architecture-Vision shots pop!). There are rivers and outdoor art installations nearby for chilling out or people-watching. Quick Tips from My Experience: If you’re craving a break, find a cool indoor coffee shop — there are plenty near The Bund with authentic Chinese wall décor. A perfect spot for some chill time or to edit travel snaps! Getting Around: Metro is fast, reliable, and cheap! Get a Shanghai metro card at any station. The Bund and 1000 Trees are accessible via public transit — just plug the locations into your maps app for the nearest stop. Food: Hit local coffee shops for a uniquely Shanghai vibe (some serve stellar matcha lattes). For dinner, check out riverside spots along The Bund for a view with your meal. Travel Essentials: No visa needed for short stops if you’re eligible for the 144-hour transit policy, but double-check before you go. Always carry some cash and a translation app — it makes everything smoother! #ShanghaiVibes #ModernChina #TravelTips #CityBreak #tripdotcom#china_diaries #chinatrip
