The annual Golden Wutong Festival of Xi'an Jiaotong University opened on Friday at the Xingqing campus in northwest China's Shaanxi Province, attracting numerous students and visitors to experience the picturesque scene.
Pengkang Road, covered in layers of golden leaves, became a popular spot for students and tourists to capture the autumn beauty.
This year's festival includes six stamp collecting spots with different themes, including the Westward Migration and Chinese Culture.
"There is a saying that a single leaf falling heralds autumn. Now, with countless fallen leaves, it's truly awe-inspiring," said Zeng Nuo, a student.
"It's beautiful with the ripeness of autumn filling the air. It holds great significance as a farewell to autumn and a welcome to winter," said Liu Wenxi, another student from Malaysia.
In the 1950s, then-President of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Peng Kang, brought many precious trees and flowers from the eastern parts of China, including the oriental plane, to create a campus environment comparable to those in Shanghai.
Pengkang Road has since witnessed the university's growth and the spirit of the Westward Migration.
