We observed the field of GRB 250129A detected by Swift/BAT (Beardmore et al., GCN 39066) with C-GFT. Our observations were started on 2025-01-30T17:51:44 UTC, ~37.11 hr after the trigger. A series of g, r and i band images were obtained with exposure time of 30s for each image. The optical counterpart (Beardmore et al., GCN 39066; Francile et al., GCN 39065; Lipunov et al., GCN 39070; Schneider et al., GCN 39071; Belkin et al., GCN 39072; Izzo et al., GCN 39073; Izzo et al., GCN 39074; Francile et al., GCN 39075; Ghosh et al., GCN 39077; Schneider et al., GCN 39078; Brivio et al.,GCN 39079; Siegel et al.,GCN 39085; Zheng et al., GCN 39090; Schlekat et al., GCN39091; Antier et al., GCN 39096; Odeh et al.

The photometry was calibrated with nearby Pan-STARRS1 stars.

We thank the observation assistants Bowen Li and Yinghuai Hao at Jilin observatory for their excellent support.
