After the arrival of autumn, the wetlands in Beijing also usher in the most beautiful season. The clear water is swept by the autumn wind, rippling endlessly, and the green grass gradually turns yellow, making people unable to help but recite the sentence - "The setting sun and the lonely duck fly together, and the autumn water shares the same color as the sky." Such a beautiful autumn scenery, it's time to go and take a look.
