Autumn Landscape Features
Autumn is the most beautiful season in Ditan Park. When you walk into the park, the ginkgo trees all over the park seem to be dyed a golden color by nature, the wonderful painter. The golden - colored ginkgo leaves sparkle under the sunlight, like small fans made of gold. When they fall with the wind, they are like butterflies dancing gracefully, covering the whole park with a golden carpet. Compared with the overcrowded Ginkgo Avenue in Diaoyutai, Ditan Park has relatively fewer tourists and doesn't make people feel too crowded, It enables visitors to appreciate this dreamy autumn beauty more calmly and leisurely.
