Where's the Most Romantic Place to See Ginkgo in Chengdu?
Whether you're strolling through the golden tunnel or sitting in a café quietly admiring the falling leaves, you can feel the gifts of nature and the warmth of the city. While the ginkgo is golden, grab your camera and come to Jinxiu Alley to collect your own golden romance!
Jinxiu Alley is one of the most iconic ginkgo viewing spots in Chengdu, China. This alley is about 500 meters long and only 10 meters wide, lined with over 40 ancient ginkgo trees that are more than 20 meters tall, aged between 90 to 135 years. The branches and leaves intertwine, creating a canopy that feels like a golden tunnel. From late November to mid-December each year, the ginkgo leaves turn from green to yellow, covering the entire alley with golden fallen leaves, making it a must-visit spot for photography enthusiasts and tourists.
Best time to visit:
The best time to enjoy it is from late November to mid-December, especially on sunny days when the sunlight filters through the golden leaves, creating a romantic atmosphere.
Tips for visiting:
Avoid the weekend rush and go on weekday mornings or evenings when it's less crowded and more beautiful.
Bring a camera or phone, and wear light-colored clothes to contrast with the golden ginkgo.
Take a break at a nearby café to experience the slow life of Chengdu.
Food:
There are many authentic Sichuan restaurants on Kehua North Road nearby, like "Shu Jiu Xiang hotpot," perfect for tasting Chengdu's spicy flavors.

Shopping on Nanjing Road in Shanghai was just amazing! It's truly the "First Commercial Street of China", where tradition and modernity blend perfectly. You can find awesome souvenirs and experience the trendy vibes in cool stores. The neon lights at night are just spectacular, shining bright like Times Square in New York. The food here is incredible too. I had a feast for my taste buds. Shanghai, I'll definitely be back!

As a solo traveler from Canada, I was nervous about navigating China alone—but this 11-day tour was PERFECT! From hiking the Great Wall at sunrise (Day 3) to gasping at the Terracotta Army (Day 5), every day delivered ‘pinch-me’ moments. The real showstopper? Zhangjiajie’s Avatar Mountains (Day 7)! Our guide made the stone pillars come alive with stories.
Massive thanks for handling all logistics—bullet train tickets, entry passes, car! And the 4-star hotels surprised me.

Our 2-day Zhangjiajie tour was beyond spectacular! As someone who’s visited Beijing and Shanghai for work, this trip revealed China’s wild, magical heart. Day 1 in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park felt like stepping onto Pandora—I’m a huge Avatar fan, and Yuanjiajie’s floating peaks left me breathless. The misty pillars and lush valleys like pure movie magic!
Then came Fenghuang Ancient Town, we eat dinner beside the thundering waterfall. It seems Unreal! The night views of stilt houses glowing over the river were straight from a fairy tale.
For fellow Avatar lovers and adventure seekers: Don’t miss this bucket-list experience! 10/10 would return.
