The autumn persimmons in Siping are uniquely red

Siping Village, a 700-year-old ancient village in Xiling Township, Pingnan County, Fujian Province. Because of its ancient charm and the persimmons in autumn, it has become a well-known photography and sketching spot near and far. Siping is a lush and densely vegetated mountain village. The 800-meter altitude, mild climate, and year-round sunshine make the seedless persimmons here famous far and wide. Every autumn, the tall persimmon trees gradually shed their green leaves, and the originally green persimmons, under the influence of carotene, gradually turn from green to yellow to orange-red. From a distance, it looks like a bunch of red lanterns hanging on the branches, gorgeous and festive. Originally, it was just a natural phenomenon of the changing seasons, but who knew that after being captured by a photographer, it became a grand autumn festival, attracting countless photographers and art masters, and spreading this touching scene in the mountain village to thousands of miles away. Village head Yang Lin said that since the persimmons turned red, Siping Village has become an internet sensation overnight, just like these persimmons. Every weekend, the village and town officials join forces to clear traffic and maintain order, and even on weekdays, there are two to three thousand people coming to watch the persimmons every day. In Siping, choose any angle, hold the camera and take a casual shot, and you can leave a frame of elegant and simple pictures in the lens. Its beauty is not ostentatious, not pretentious, without too many deliberate traces, without too much human intervention. The reason why the persimmon trees in Siping are on camera is that the blue sky is the canvas and the green mountains are the inkstone. Yellow walls and black tiles, dead branches and red persimmons, high walls and long narrow alleys, winding paths paved with bluestone, a bougainvillea protruding from the door lintel, a camellia blooming in the courtyard, all constitute a series of beautiful rural scenes. These scenes belong only to the mountainous areas of Eastern Fujian, and the pictures are filled with strong Eastern Fujian imprints. When the tall persimmon tree stands proudly against the backdrop of yellow walls and black tiles, when the bright autumn sun shines on the orange-red persimmons, anyone will sincerely praise this composition that does not need to be deliberate. As the saying goes: There are persimmon trees in every mountain and village, but the autumn persimmons in Siping are uniquely red. The joy of persimmons attracts guests from all directions, and the autumn colors of Siping are captivating.
