The maple leaves on Qixia Mountain are a fiery red! Let's take a look.

The maple leaves on Qixia Mountain are turning a fiery red, like a giant oil painting slowly unfolding before us. Green leaves, red leaves, orange leaves, and yellow leaves intertwine, as if painted by nature itself. Sunlight shines on each leaf, making them sparkle like gems. Walking along the paths of Qixia Mountain, the scenery changes with every step, and each tree and view is captivating. To capture this beauty, I had to stop many times, taking an hour and a half to cover the 500 meters from the main gate to the Caishen Temple. Passing through the Red Leaf Valley and Peach Blossom Lake to Qixia Mountain Temple, the scenery along the way is breathtaking. Each spot has its unique charm, and even a simple 35mm lens can capture its beauty. Despite the tight schedule, the bowl of noodles by Qixia Mountain Temple didn't meet my expectations. The topping was a bit salty, and the noodles were average. But this didn't stop me from enjoying the autumn scenery. Tomorrow morning, I'll head to Yanque Lake, hoping the water and morning birdsong will add more color to the day. Today, I'll cherish these memories and savor nature's gift. In the early morning, mist rises over Yanque Lake, and the sun shines on the water, reflecting the blue sky and scattered clouds. The willow trees by the lake sway gently, welcoming a new day. I walk briskly along the lakeside path to a viewing platform. From here, I can see the lake and distant mountains. The shimmering lake reflects the colorful mountains, like a giant ink painting. Suddenly, a few birds fly across the lake, drawing a beautiful arc with their song. This moment seems frozen, with all sounds and sights blending into its beauty. I can't help but press the shutter, capturing this rare moment. I continue along the lakeside path. The trees are covered in dew, each drop like a crystal-clear gem. I gently touch the dew, feeling it dance on my fingertips, as if telling the morning's story. After a day of walking, my body and mind are relaxed and refreshed. The beautiful scenery is not only in my photos but also etched in my memory, becoming part of my life. At this moment, I feel one with nature, feeling its warmth and embrace. Though time passes, this beauty is forever in my heart. Remembering the maple leaves of Qixia Mountain and the beauty of Yanque Lake fills me with happiness and satisfaction. This beauty and emotion are the most precious treasures of my life's journey.
