Autumn is in full bloom at the Forbidden City in Beijing, where golden tiles and red walls meet ginkgo leaves.

Let's take a look!

The Chinese writer Lao She once said, "In autumn, you must live in Beijing because the autumn of Beijing is paradise." 

The red maples are as brilliant as the sunset, and the ginkgoes are as bright as fire. Bright yellow, orange and red, lush green, these colors collide together and have a very strong visual impact!

The yellow gingko and the solemn red wall are unique colors of autumn. These palaces have the feeling of traveling through time and space under the reflection of ginkgoes. At the southwest corner tower, the ginkgoes add warmth to the stately Forbidden City.
