The ginkgo trees in Suzhou are a brilliant yellow in December, with the sunlight just right and the breeze not too dry

December in Suzhou is a great time to visit ancient temples like Baoguo Temple, Huiding Temple, and Shuangta Temple. Although they are not as crowded with tourists as the Suzhou gardens, they are incredibly picturesque. The quiet monasteries, the ginkgo leaves that are shining yellow and have yet to fall, and the yellow walls of the courtyards, along with the mottled light and shadow, make every casual photo feel like an oil painting. Wearing traditional Han clothing and draping a bright red cloak over your shoulders, you'll look beautiful no matter how you're photographed. Suzhou tourism isn't just about spring; autumn is also stunningly beautiful.
