Yinxing Village

Gudong Town is located in the northern part of Tengchong County and serves as the economic, cultural, and commercial center of northern Tengchong, earning it the reputation as the “Key Town of Northern Tengchong.” A 40 km drive from Tengchong County will take you to Yinxing Village in Gudong Town. With the rise of self-drive tourism, Jiangdong Yinxing Village is poised to become another new attraction in Tengchong. Mid-November to early December is the best viewing period for the ginkgo trees.The ginkgo trees in Jiangdong Village are not only ancient and naturally clustered, but also uniquely integrated with the village in a “village within the forest, forest within the village” harmony. Local houses are scattered around open spaces, surrounded by ginkgo trees of all sizes in front and behind, creating a scene of “golden carpets” when visiting this ancient ginkgo village. In recent years, villagers have continued cultivating young ginkgo trees, totaling about 33,000 across over 1,000 acres—likely one of Yunnan’s largest, most concentrated, and oldest ginkgo forests discovered to date. These ancient trees stand quietly majestic, hidden among mountain ranges and revealed through the village’s rustic charm.
