Wutong Avenue / 梧桐大道
Wutong Avenue refers to the magnificent section of Lingyuan Road (陵园路) leading toward the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Thousands of towering Chinese plane trees (梧桐树) form a spectacular natural tunnel over the road. Originally planted during the Republican era, the avenue has become one of Nanjing's most iconic photography locations, especially in autumn.
