As the early winter sun bathes Shanghai's Jing'an district in light, its streets and parks are draped in a fleeting golden coat of ginkgo leaves. This transient beauty has been preserved in a series of serene snapshots, each serving as a unique visual poem of the season.

In Jing'an Sculpture Park, fallen leaves soften the modern sculptures' hard lines, creating a dialogue between art and nature. The green space on Huasheng Road offers an oasis where ginkgo trees stand like golden guardians against the blue sky. Outside Daning Theatre, the trees' grand reflection in glass facades blends classical grandeur with contemporary style.

Daily commutes have become more pleasant near Wenshui Road Station, where ginkgoes serve as a visual respite. At Pengpu Four Seasons Park, children chase leaves in the dappled sunlight, while along Linfen Road, golden leaves fall beside fruit stalls and bicycles, bringing beauty to everyday life.
