Billed as the “Museum of Royal Gardens”, the Summer Palace is a royal garden in the Qing Dynasty and a large landscape garden built following the design of southern gardens. As four seasons alternate with each other, it features diverse and characterful scenery. In autumn, it would be covered with a bright yellow blanket when the wind blows ginkgo leaves to the ground. There are also purple and red acer monoes, showing another beauty of the autumn.

Every single pond, a leaf, or even a bridge here can bring you some sources of inspiration. With sunlight smiting over, ginkgo leaves on branches are more graceful, under which thick leaves create another eyeful.
