At the end of autumn and early winter in Yunnan, the sun shines gently on every inch of land, bringing infinite warmth. December is regarded as the best time to view ginkgo while many areas of ginkgo gradually become golden, blown off the yellow leaves covered the ground, like a thick golden carpet.

The ginkgo avenue on the Donglu campus of Yunnan University, the Huating temple in Xishan Park and the ancient ginkgo village in Tengchong are excellent places to admire ginkgo.

Ginkgo avenue in Yunnan university:golden ginkgo leaves dropped and covered the ground. The campus is full of the sense of knowledge.

The Donglu campus of Yunnan University is located at the edge of Cuihu Park. Recently, the ginkgo avenue turns into glorious golden colour. This ginkgo avenue is about 300 meters long and extends from Wenyuan building to Huize courtyard. It is said that the ginkgo tree in the campus was planted by a school worker when the school was established. After decades of growth, these ginkgo trees become luxuriant and become a special scenery in winter.

Sunlight through the ginkgo forest, the whole campus is setting off gentler and more comfortable. Students of Yunnan University are sitting near the window in the library. They can occasionally look up and enjoy the pleasant feeling brought by the golden ginkgo grove.

Different from the ginkgo avenue of Yunnan University, the ginkgo in Huating temple "grows in a wild way" and leaves open without "rules".  However, it still looks gorgeous.These ginkgo trees have been planted in huating temple for more than 100 years. The temple was destroyed during the reign of emperor Xianfeng of the Qing dynasty, but the ginkgo trees survived and now flourish.

The temple bell bursts, incense wreaths, ginkgo gold and the vermilion of the building forming a beautiful scene.If tourists who climb the mountain feel tried, they can have a rest in the temple. When they see the cornices of a foot of ginkgo is brilliant yellow by accident,there are quite a kind of "a ginkgo out of the wall" of surprise.
