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.

Surrounded by mountains and water, it is a royal garden renowned for its breathtaking scenery. Its pavilions, halls, corridors, bridges, and terraces each possess unique characteristics, borrowing scenery from the natural environment to elevate the Summer Palace's beauty far beyond the garden itself. In 1998, the Summer Palace became a World Heritage Site.

I only come here in autumn and during the Spring Festival.
No matter the season, if you've read Shi Tiesheng's "Me and the Temple of Heaven," you'll find peace in its timeless and profound atmosphere; walking through it, all the noise in your heart will subside...
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.

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.

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.

I absolutely loved Mutianyu! The scenery between 14 and 20 is the most beautiful! The shuttle bus and cable car saved my life! We couldn't climb the Hero's Slope, but those who made it, I salute you guys, you're real heroes!
Mutianyu is majestic and picturesque, a pride of the Chinese people. The tour guide service was warm, and the bus was very clean. Thanks to Busda. I love the Great Wall, and I love China.
