As the autumn wind makes the leaves dance, the annual spectacle of fall colors has returned to Laoshan Mountain in Qingdao.

The autumn scenery here demonstrates remarkable depth and variation across different scenic areas. Due to differences in altitude and microclimates, the peak foliage periods vary significantly between locations, offering visitors an extended season to appreciate the vibrant transformation of the landscape.

From the fiery reds of the maple trees to the golden hues of the ginkgo forests, the mountain offers a peaceful retreat into nature's splendor. Walk its tranquil trails, listen to the whispers of the falling leaves, and find your perfect moment of peace.
