Autumn comes fast, and it’s a great time to enjoy the season. All the northern people say that there is no autumn in the south, and that the four seasons can not be seen in these regions.

Nanjing Xuanwu Lake, known as Sangbo, has a history of more than 1,500 years. It is the largest royal garden lake in China, and the only intact Jiangnan royal garden in the world, and the largest urban park in the south of the Yangtze River. It is known as the “Pearl of Jinling”. The lake houses fish and grows lotus flowers. In summer and autumn, the water surface is green, and the pink lotus is hidden. The lake is full of fragrances and the scenery is charming. For many people, to appreciate autumn is equivalent to the appreciation of fallen leaves. There are two well-known ginkgo forests in Nanjing Park, one is the Ginkgo Avenue in Xuanwu Lake Liangzhou, and the other is the Ginkgo Valley in Qingliangshan Park. The Ginkgo Avenue in Liangzhou is now showing up with fantastic scenery - the two sides of the road are colorful and they are separate as clearly as the Jing and Wei rivers: golden gingko on one side and green cedar on the other. Although only half of the gingko has turned yellow, it still attracts many tourists to take pictures in front of the trees. Many couples and elder people sit on the bench holding each other’s hands and enjoy the light sunshine.

Shaoguan Nanxiong, many people can think about Zhuji Lane, but every year from mid-November to early December, Nanxiong City changes its shape in a single transformation during late autumn at night and becomes a fairy tale kingdom.
