Beijing's signature autumn-foliage course. Climb Fragrant Hills Park, where smoke trees turn the whole mountain red (peak late October to early November), then on to the nearby Botanical Garden and the autumn lake of the Summer Palace. During peak foliage the crowds are heavy, so an early weekday hour is key.

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Fragrant Hills Park (Xiangshan Red Leaves)香山公园

    Nature · Autumn leaves · 180 min stay

    The landmark of Beijing autumn, famous for its smoke-tree foliage. Take the cable car up Xianglu Peak for a view over the whole red-tinged mountain. Peak weekends get so crowded that entry is capped, so an early weekday hour is the answer.

    Beijing Botanical Garden (next to Xiangshan)北京植物园

    Park · Autumn leaves · 90 min stay

    Enjoy the foliage and autumn flower gardens far more peacefully than Fragrant Hills. With the Reclining Buddha Temple and greenhouse included, it's good for a flat walk after the hike.

    Summer Palace Autumn Lake颐和园

    Garden · Autumn leaves · 120 min stay

    Autumn foliage reflected in Kunming Lake and the fall color of Longevity Hill. Close to the Fragrant Hills area, so easy to combine the same day, and the lake's reflection is especially lovely in autumn.
