Fragrant Hill in the suburbs of Beijing is the most popular, and the most accessible, place to enjoy autumn foliage. The hill is covered by smoke trees and maple trees. Each year after a frost, which usually falls in early October, leaves turn color gradually. By mid-October, the mountain is shrouded by a colorful carpet of red, orange and purple. The Fragrant Hill Red Leaves Festival is held each year on the hill in the middle of October. Local families flock there during the festival to enjoy autumn colors.
Fragrant Hills Park(Xiangshan Gongyuan) is located in the suburbs of Beijing, and every resident of the city thinks of it as his "garden near home." Pine, maple and persimmon trees dot the landscape, as do many traditional Chinese buildings.
The park shows itself at its most colorful and spectacular during the autumn, and in mid-October the park holds an Autumn Leaves Festival. See other best places to see fall colors in Beijing.
