1. Travel Tips:
   a. Admission Fee: Admission is free, and no reservation is needed on regular days. However, during the peak season (end of October to November, the ginkgo season), reservations should be made in advance through the "Zhongnan Chan Yun" WeChat public account.
   b. Best Photography Time: It is recommended to visit in the early morning (7:00-9:00) when there are fewer people and the light is soft, suitable for capturing a tranquil atmosphere, or in the afternoon (15:00-17:00) when the sunlight is slanted, making the ginkgo leaves more translucent and golden.

2. Other Experiences:
   a. The best viewing period is from early November to mid-November (when the ginkgo leaves are fully yellow).
   b. There is a large flow of people on weekends/holidays, so it is recommended to visit on a weekday morning.
