Ginkgo forests that are also a summer destination!

Hidden in Tuole Village of Shiqiao Town in Panzhou, Guizhou, lies a paradise of ancient ginkgo trees. Here, the ginkgo trees are over 300 years old, with some venerable ones reaching up to 1500 years. Their presence has made this place the most densely populated and best-preserved sanctuary of ginkgo trees in the world. As autumn approaches, the ginkgo leaves gradually turn golden yellow, creating a sea of gold that drapes this land in a gorgeous autumnal robe. Such a beautiful scene undoubtedly provides photography enthusiasts with an excellent shooting location, with each photo resembling a stunning painting. If you wish to visit this place, self-driving might be the most convenient way. Although it takes three and a half hours to drive from Guiyang City, the scenery along the way will make you feel as if time is flying by. Of course, if you choose the high-speed train, it only takes 1 hour and 20 minutes from Guiyang North Station to Panzhou Station, and then a 34-minute taxi ride to Tuole Village. The best time to visit is from late October to mid-November. During this period, small bridges, flowing water, ancient dwellings, Xianma Lake, Qinhu Wetland, and other attractions complement the golden ginkgo leaves, creating beautiful scenes. In addition, ancient relics such as Xilai Temple and Xianren Temple also add a touch of mystery and tranquility to this land. It is worth mentioning that this place becomes an excellent summer retreat. Enjoying the cool under the tall and lush ginkgo trees is such a pleasure!
