No one told me that autumn in Hangzhou is so amazing

My hometown has no autumn; it is an endless summer. Without the four seasons, my perception of time becomes blurred. I love autumn, I go out to seek autumn, and I have seen many autumns. The autumn in Kanas, Northern Xinjiang is magnificent, the autumn in Arxan, Inner Mongolia is grand, the autumn in Beijing is elegant, the autumn in Nanjing is profound, the autumn in Suzhou is graceful... The autumn in Hangzhou is serene and tranquil. The first time I came to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai to enjoy autumn, I was shocked to find that autumn in Hangzhou is so beautiful. Tiger Run Park on a cloudy day feels lonely; although there is no sunshine, it has its own unique charm. After coming here, I suddenly lost my longing for Kyoto’s maple leaf season because the red leaves in Hangzhou are truly stunning. This park is just a few kilometers from West Lake. As soon as you enter, there are many towering dawn redwoods, and walking into the park feels like passing through an orange-red dawn redwood tunnel. Then come the red maples, ancient buildings, springs, and kittens. Every casual shot looks like a masterpiece of traditional Chinese style, and there are even people taking wedding photos on site. 📅 Best time to enjoy autumn & opening hours ✅ Best time to enjoy autumn: Late November to around December 20.
