The Acer truncatum trees, also known as Shantung maples, in front of Qinzheng Hall at Beijing’s Xiangshan Park are welcoming the changing seasons with a display of brilliant color. By October 27, the leaves on one of the two trees had already turned completely gold, while another was close to turning entirely red. Known as Xiangshan’s “message trees,” their changing colors signal the peak of the park’s fall foliage season. Complementing the elegant ancient architecture of Xiangshan Park, the autumn colors attract visitors looking to experience the beauty of nature amidst rich cultural heritage.
