Background

Located 28 km northwest of downtown Beijing, Fragrant Hills Park is just what its name indicates: sweet smelling with picturesque natural scenery. The best time to visit the park is in autumn (September - October), when the hills are alight with red leaves in a multitude of shades. The annual Red Leaf Festival attracts crowds of visitors from around the world.

距离北京城西北28公里的香山公园，其名字来源于它芳香独特的自然景观。游览香山最好的时间是秋天（九月到十月）。这个时候，香山上全是红色的树叶和斑斓的树影。一年一次的香山红叶节吸引着全世界的众多游客来访。
