The Jinhaihu Lake is the only place in Beijing where you can have the wonderful experience of enjoying the beauty of red leaves on water. You can also drive along the road surrounding the lake or the Pinggu Beishan road. You can see mountains covered by red leaves along the way.

The combination of water and mountains is one of the best gifts nature has bestowed. Seeing how the beautiful tree reflections paint the tranquil lake with wonderful colors, you’ll find that nature is actually rather generous in autumn.
