I understand that #+STARTUP: property can control the fold/unfold setting in file level when the org file is loaded. But I need it be more granular.

I wonder if it is possible to set it in node level? for example, *node1 has all subitems unfolded, and *node2, *node3 have all subitems folded?

xuchunyang is right. Just to complete the answer, you can set the VISIBILITY property to children for the node to develop such as in the following example:

 * Node to be unfolded
 :PROPERTIES:
 :VISIBILITY: children
 :END:

  • Thank you both. Actually I spent sometime to figure out :Properties: is needed before visibility, your answer is clearer for beginners.

  • I wonder if it is possible to totally hide :PROPERTIES: section in org file. Folding it still displays one line. which is disturbing for other audiences

Yes, it is possible. You can set a VISIBILITY property for that node separately, for example, use M-x org-set-property VISIBILITY ....
