We have four seasons, the earth has different looks then. And a country like China, which covers abundant landforms and scenes, has four distinct seasons. I think most of people can’t visit everywhere in their entire lives. So when is the best time to travel? Where should I go and in which season? There are so many choices. But to make sure you will enjoy the best sceneries of the destinations you are going to visit, you have to choose a suitable season for your trip. Let’s show you some examples for nice visits in autumn, if you are planning a trip now.
1. Huángshān (Yellow Mountain)
Huangshan is well known of its high and steep characteristic, also of its beautiful view from the top. As you walk along the mountain path, a view of different trees with colorful leaves – green, red, yellow – like a picture, unfolds in front of your eyes.
The big waterfall, the wonderful stones, the silhouette of different mountains and clouds around them—together they build a particular landscape that you’ll never forget. It would be one of your most memorable experiences when you stand on the “Guāngmíngdǐng” and watch the sunset.
2. Tibet
Without any introduction here, Tibet must be one of the most attractive places where a lot of people have already listed down on the “Favorite Places to go”. It is mysterious and it has a spectacular landscape and unique cultural ambience. The weather in Tibet is mostly sunny and bright all year, but autumn is the best season visiting Tibet because the oxygen in the air in autumn is the highest in a year. In addition to that, people will experience a lot of traditional festivals in autumn.
Besides of the famous Portals Palace and the Jokhang Temple Monastery and every inch of streets in Lhasa, the huge amount of wild animals will make you feel close to the nature. The blue sky, jokul at a distance, wide stretches of grassland, crystal clear lake, active wild birds, foxes, cow and sheep groups, the scope where you eyes can reach is a perfect painting.
3. The West Lake
The best way to enjoy the West Lake is with a bicycle. Riding is easy and comfortable. The Golden autumn of Hangzhou is full with the osmanthus fragrance, as you ride along the shore of the lake, the smell moves with you. Following the fragrance, you will see the cluster of small flowers dyed the whole laurel tree golden. If you catch the early morning with heavy dew to see the flowers, the breeze passes by with the fragrance from the ground being scattered. You will have fun in the laurel bushes, as if enjoying the romantic rain in a love story.
At night, be sure to stop by at one of the ten scenic spots of the West Lake – Pinghu Qiuyue, which you can only see in this season.
4. Bashang Grasslands
Sitting on a horse’s back on the golden grassland, along dark green lakes, the view is just unforgettable. In autumn it is already quite cold in Bashang Grasslands. Put on your coats, you can still enjoy the moment under the starry sky. You can start a fire to yourself warm. It just feels natural to dance and sing in this atmosphere. Enjoying this with your friends or family together will definitely being one of your most luxury experiences in life.
Some people feel melancholic for the autumn. Some people are total excited about it. If you are also like to travel in autumn, just get started.
