When it comes to the rituals of welcoming winter, what comes to mind first? Is it the steaming roasted sweet potatoes or the fragrant sugar-fried chestnuts on the streets? Let's explore the rituals of entering winter together.

1. Admire red maples
Join a date with "maple" romance
After an entire autumn of anticipation, the maple leaves have finally reached their most vibrant season. Visit the Citizen Park in Baozhen Town or Shidao Road to encounter an ultimate romantic "maple" scene. As the wind blows, a few red leaves gracefully fall, and the air is filled with a faint woody fragrance.

2. Brewing tea by the stove
A poetic gathering in a warm winter
Enjoy the warm aroma of tea by the stove, celebrating the good times of the world. The ritual of entering winter in Chongming can also begin with brewing tea by the stove.

3. Appreciate ginkgo
Encounter golden romance
As the maple leaves turn red, the ginkgo turns yellow. No matter how many times you visit the ancient Ginkgo Park in Siyang Village, you'll be amazed by the endless seasonal beauty. This year's ginkgo arrived late but turned yellow just in time to meet the early winter breeze. Among the withered wild grass, a few scattered ginkgo leaves crunch softly underfoot. Sunlight slants through the branches, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The ginkgo trees on 122 Zhengda Street in Baozhen Town, Minben Middle School on Datong Road, and Minyi Middle School campus have also turned yellow.

4. Observe egrets
A winter date with sky elves
The early winter breeze gently blows across the southern bank of Baozhen Town. This is a paradise for egrets, where in this season, the pure white egrets dance gracefully in the sky, their movements light and elegant. They frolic in groups on the water, creating ripples.

Every scene, taste, and expectation in Chongming's early winter carries a unique sense of ritual. This season, come to Chongming to experience this unique charm of early winter.
