The Fragrant Hills Park, also known as Xiangshan Park, is blessed with a long history and numerous monuments. Here the vegetation coverage is as high as 96%. When talking about places to appreciate red leaves in Beijing, the first one that appears in our mind is undoubtedly the Fragrant Hills Park. Every year in autumn, the red leaves of the Fragrant Hills Park attract many tourists from China and all over the world. In the middle of the lush forest there are a variety of trees, such as maples, persimmon trees, ginkgo trees, etc. Among these, the most representative tree with red leaves is the smoke tree. In the Fragrant Hills Park, there are a total of almost 100,000 smoke trees.

Every year from mid-October to the beginning of November is the best season to appreciate the red leaves. Standing on the Xianglu peak, you can see the panorama of the Fragrant Hills. You can also choose to walk through the red leaf forest, rest in pavilions or temples.

As it is a very popular place of interest among tourists, especially in autumn, it is recommended that you plan your visit on weekdays to avoid crowds. Before going, remember to make reservations through the official Wechat public account "香山公园 (Xiang Shan Gong Yuan)". Enjoy your trip!
