Autumn colors in Canada's Algonquin Park
By Li Yujun

Covered by millions of maple leaves, the prettiest autumn colors can easily be found in Algonquin Park, southeast Canada.

The colors are so vibrant that when they are completely changed, it is picture-perfect and tourists feel as though they are walking in a vast painting.

Algonquin Park is about 7,653 square kilometres with maple hills, rocky ridges, and thousands of lakes.

Maple trees in the park are special because they are nourished by soils deposited by glacier thousands of years ago. It is a cooler climate compared to outside the park area as a result of higher elevation.

The maple-leaf season arrives is the time to embrace nature in a Canadian way – a walk through the maple grove with a small bag of squeaky white cheese curd.
