Fragrant Hills Park is absolutely gorgeous in autumn, and the most beautiful sight here is undoubtedly the red leaves. The red leaves in Fragrant Hills Park are traditional and very unique. When you come here, you can enjoy the red leaves. There are several routes, and the best route is on the south side. If you go from the south, you can see many beautiful red leaves. After enjoying the red leaves, you can also visit other attractions in Fragrant Hills, such as the red Shuangqing Villa and other ancient sites.
A must-visit in autumn! Fragrant Hills Park holds Beijing's most captivating four-season poetry.
If you were to ask which Beijing park embodies the beauty of each season to its fullest, the answer would undoubtedly be Fragrant Hills Park. Nestled in the foothills of the Western Hills, this classical garden not only carries a thousand years of history, but also offers a visual feast, making it a must-see destination for countless visitors.
Spring in Fragrant Hills is a gentle prelude. Wild peaches and apricots bloom along the mountain path, their pink and white petals drifting in the wind, creating a romantic "flower path." Within the park, the century-old cypresses sprout new green leaves, creating a striking contrast with the red walls and yellow tiles of the temple. A stroll through the garden is a delight.

I visited Hongye Shiyan last weekend. The scenery was pretty good overall, but it wasn't as vibrant as I had imagined, with mountains covered in red leaves and forests ablaze with color. Maybe it wasn't the right time of year. But it was still very nice overall, especially the ancient village, which was a pleasant surprise. It's a great place to visit!
The 2000-meter glass rafting is a must-do, and there's also the high-speed roller coaster that little boys will love—one ride is never enough! Off-road vehicles are also available.
I recommend buying a package ticket, which includes multiple attractions and a sightseeing bus—great value!
If you don't want to hike, you can just enjoy the attractions. It's also suitable for seniors to hike, as it's not too tiring. The scenery in Shiyan Ancient Village is beautiful and artistic, perfect for taking photos.

Shi Tiesheng Ditan Temple is a famous Beijing scenic spot. It is clean and has a good environment. It is generally well received. It is quite recommended and affordable. It is recommended for people from all over the world to visit, especially for travel enthusiasts and those with children.
I went to the altar of the altar of the earth, and the altar of the heavens was square. Although it is not as big as the altar of heaven, the altar is shocking enough, and the tickets are much cheaper. And there are really not many people in the altar, and it is very suitable for sunbathing. It is a great thing in life to move a chair to the temple park in the afternoon! ! !

A Brief Introduction to the Flowers, Trees, and Plants of the Summer Palace:
Ancient and Famous Trees:
* **Chinese Pine:** An evergreen tree with a beautiful shape, widely distributed throughout the Summer Palace.
* **White Pine:** A precious tree species, named for its unique white bark.
* **Chinese Arborvitae:** Commonly used in landscaping, highly ornamental.
* **Chinese Scholar Tree:** Flowers in summer with a strong fragrance, a common street tree in Beijing.
* **Ginkgo:** Its leaves turn golden in autumn, adding much autumnal color to the Summer Palace.
Flowers and Plants:
* **Magnolia:** Blooms in early spring with pure white or pink flowers, exuding fragrance, a top choice for spring flower viewing.
* **Peony:** Known as the "King of Flowers," its blooms are elegant and magnificent.
* **Plum Blossom:** Blooms in late winter and early spring, highly cold-resistant, symbolizing perseverance.
* **Lotus:** Blooming gracefully on Kunming Lake in summer, the lotus flowers stand tall and provide a refreshing feeling. Chrysanthemum: A representative flower of autumn, with many varieties and vibrant colors.
A family visited the Summer Palace in Beijing. They entered from the North Gate, climbed the steps, and stood on the top of the hill to see a panoramic view of the Summer Palace. Now that the autumn leaves have fallen, the scenery is beautiful in a different way. People are taking pictures of the large yellow ginkgo trees at the East Gate.

Autumn was a great time to visit. Traffic was congested on the weekend, and roadworks were underway near the attractions. The parking lot was quite large, but the path from the parking lot to the entrance was made of cobblestones and wasn't very smooth.
The area inside isn't actually very big; you can walk to each of the smaller attractions, especially the God of Wealth Temple and the Stone Fish Touching Area (there are long queues there).
The road to Tanzhe Temple is currently under construction, with some sections now only open in one direction. I recommend going early or avoiding weekends and holidays. The temple itself is also undergoing repairs, with some areas fenced off. The ginkgo trees haven't even turned yellow yet, but burning incense and worshipping Buddha isn't affected. I especially love standing between the two ginkgo trees; I feel so insignificant.

Рекомендую, людей не так много, как на других участках стены + почти все люди сосредоточены в городе Губей, а на стене нам встретились лишь единичные путники. Единственный минус, днем совсем негде поесть (кроме пиццерии у входа), так как все рестораны открываются вечером.
Due to the weather, the autumn scenery was somewhat less spectacular. However, the entertainment included a drone show and a free water dance show on the Great Wall. Guests could also experience a boat ride on the Great Wall at night. If time allowed, there were also various intangible cultural heritage handicraft experiences available. Overall, it was quite good.

The Old Summer Palace (Yuanmingyuan) was a grand imperial garden, with incredibly beautiful mountains and waters. The expansive waterways allowed waterbirds to soar freely over the surface, and fish swam leisurely and contentedly. The ruins section within the garden was a key area, serving as my country's most famous patriotic education base and irrefutable evidence of imperialist aggression against China.
Lao She said, "Autumn in Beiping is paradise."
So true! Autumn in Beijing's hutongs is full of life.
It's time to take some life photos of autumn! Sharing the captivating beauty of autumn in Beiping that I captured with live photos. Taking good pictures is as easy as breathing.

Red Leaf Valley does have some red leaves, which turn a good color in early November. Combined with the morning mist over Xuanqiu Lake, it's quite beautiful. However, the scenic area isn't very large, just a small amount of mountains and water. Tickets are expensive, and the sightseeing bus isn't cheap either. During peak season, a visit can easily take an hour, but traffic jams can make it three hours. It's recommended to avoid traveling during holidays.
The crisp autumn weather makes it a perfect spot for viewing the crimson leaves and a relaxing hike. Even without a bus, the paths are easy to navigate, making it suitable for both the elderly and children. The Manye Pagoda offers the best vantage point for viewing the crimson leaves, and the photos taken from the tower are truly stunning.

The scenery was absolutely beautiful, especially this time of year. The autumn leaves were ablaze with vibrant colors, creating a truly breathtaking spectacle. We had a fantastic time. The toboggan run on the mountain is an extra charge.
I've visited Hongluo Temple in Huairou countless times. Last time I came to make a wish, and this time I made a special trip to fulfill that wish. In late autumn, Hongluo Temple is also a rare and exceptional place to view the red leaves. Immersed in this landscape where the ancient temple and the red leaves intertwine, you can not only escape the hustle and bustle but also feel a sense of tranquility and beauty.

Очень красиво! Брали билет с подъемом на канатке, чтобы успеть посмотреть побольше, обратно шли пешком. Если подниматься на Северную часть - то потом почти всегда идешь вниз :)
Liu Yicheng, the tour guide, gave an excellent explanation. His explanations were detailed, enthusiastic, and engaging. It's clear he's a passionate history enthusiast who simply wants to share knowledge.
