In October, the temperature in the middle and higher Qinling Mountains occasionally drops to zero degree Celsius. While most trees have lost their leaves, the bamboo forest remains green. Small animals that stroll in the woods have already hidden in their dens to embrace the coming winter, but giant pandas still perch in trees or sleep on the ground openly regardless of the unexpected snow.
