Maple trees in Yuelu Mountain put on a dazzling display of color in autumn.
Yuelu Mountain on the west bank of the Xiang River lights up the autumnal scenery of Changsha as leaves turn to burning red.
Around late October and early November, entire slopes are scattered with orange, yellow and red leaves, making it a colorful place for hiking.
Built in 1792, the Aiwan Pavilion became famous because Mao Zedong liked reading there. Shaded amid trees and grass, it is naturally also one of most pleasant spots in autumn.
山行
远上寒山石径斜,
白云生处有人家。
停车坐爱枫林晚,
霜叶红于二月花。
Mountain Travel
Far away on the cold mountain, a stone path slants upwards, In the white clouds is a village, where people have their homes. I stop the carriage, loving the maple wood in the evening, The frosted leaves are redder than the second month’s flowers. |
