Late Autumn Exclusive! The Stunning Encounter of Ginkgo and Dome at Shanghai Holy Trinity Church

219 Jiujiang Road (near the Bund) ✨ Weekend Live Update: The ginkgo trees are now at their peak viewing period! 🌟 Two century-old ginkgo trees in front of the church courtyard are fully golden, with fallen leaves forming a natural carpet. Together with the reddish-brown brick walls and the gray-blue dome, they create a classic oil painting composition. The afternoon sunlight filtering through the leaves is simply breathtaking! 🤩 【Practical Guidebook】 🚇 Transportation Guide · Exit 6 of Nanjing East Road Station on Metro Lines 2/10, an 8-minute walk to the church · Recommended route: Stroll along Jiujiang Road from the Bund direction, the scenery gradually becomes cinematic 🎬 📸 A Must for Photography Enthusiasts 1. Golden Hour: 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM (West facade with front light + ginkgo backlight effect) 2. Perfect Shot: Shoot upward inside the iron gate to capture the dome and ginkgo in one frame (DSLR with wide-angle lens recommended) 3. Detail Lovers’ Perks: Fallen leaves on carved benches / stained glass light and shadow / texture contrast between copper doors and golden leaves 4. Outfit Suggestion: Off-white/camel tones photograph best ➰ ⏰ Opening Information · Open Monday to Saturday, 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Closed to visitors on Sundays for worship) · Free! Free! Free! Important to say three times 💯 · On Sundays, you can attend worship to experience the building’s acoustic charm (non-believers please keep quiet) 🎯 Nearby One-Day Tour Route Holy Trinity Church → Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street → Bund No.33 → Yuanmingyuan Road Historic Buildings → Waibaidu Bridge (1.5 km walking route hitting popular landmarks) 【Hidden Extras】 🔹 Every Wednesday at 12:30 PM, there is a free organ rehearsal (a free audio-visual feast 🎵) 🔸 The secret ginkgo grove in the backyard is less crowded and beautiful, perfect for zoning out 🔹 Reader’s Bookstore offers limited edition ginkgo postcards + church stamps (a must for artsy youth) ⚠️ Notes · The beauty of fallen leaves is highly weather-dependent; check the weather forecast before you go ☀️ · The church is still in use, please keep quiet 🤫 · Drone flying is prohibited ❌ (don’t bring one in vain) This weekend, make your appointment before the golden leaves fall! The 156-year-old church and the cycle of autumn leaves are so beautiful they bring tears to your eyes 😭

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
