In the coastal city of Qingdao in East China's Shandong province, autumn is seen and felt through the large ginkgo trees captured by photographers. 

The ginkgo trees along the city's streets and riverside have donned a thick layer of golden attire, shining brightly under the sunlight.

With a touch of autumn charm, they have turned Qingdao into a fairy-tale world.
