Xi'an Ginkgo Season Limited-Time Scenery

🏛️ Xi'an University of Posts and Telecommunications Chang'an Campus: Youthful Memories Dyed by Ginkgo When it comes to Xi'an, the stories of this ancient capital of thirteen dynasties always revolve around the glory of the Daming Palace or the legend of the Terracotta Warriors. But in this season of falling leaves, I was deeply moved by a golden feast at the Chang'an Campus of Xi'an University of Posts and Telecommunications. Standing on the tree-lined path in the west district, it feels like stepping into an oil painting. Golden ginkgo leaves cover the entire road, and sunlight filters through the gaps between the leaves, casting a layer of golden shimmer on everyone passing by. Though there is no incense from thousand-year-old temples here, there is a unique romance belonging to the ivory tower—the youthful stories treasured by the ginkgo leaves. Founded in 1950, this university has witnessed over half a century of iterative innovation in communication technology. Walking through the campus, one can't help but think that those students who once recited communication principles under the ginkgo trees may now be participating in building the 5G era. The ginkgo trees shed and renew their leaves year after year, just like the knowledge continuously passed down and updated here. When the autumn wind rises, the most stunning sight is the ginkgo avenue in front of the library. Stepping on the thick carpet of ginkgo leaves, the rustling sound turns the entire campus into a natural symphony hall. Occasionally, students hurriedly walking by with books in hand have golden leaves falling on their shoulders, like a time-stamped seal specially placed on youth. Recommended viewing spots: 1️⃣ Ginkgo Avenue south of the library - a golden corridor formed by ginkgo trees over 30 years old on both sides 2️⃣ Small square in Teaching Building C area - a natural "golden theater" formed by a circular ginkgo grove 3️⃣ Fork in front of the west district cafeteria - the sudden appearance of a ginkgo waterfall at the turn is the most stunning This niche autumn secret spot requires no admission fee but offers the purest seasonal tribute. It is recommended to visit on weekday afternoons to avoid weekend crowds and to catch the poetic scene of students walking through fallen leaves with books after class. When the sunset adds another layer of orange-red to the ginkgo leaves, the entire campus becomes Van Gogh’s palette. It turns out that compared to the heavy and profound historical relics, this ancient city is equally skilled at telling stories of time through the tranquil autumn colors of its campus.
