I went to Suzhou just to take these photos!

Here are 8 places in Suzhou that are worth visiting in autumn: Tianping Mountain • Highlights: Known as the "No. 1 Mountain of Red Maples in Jiangnan," Tianping Mountain is one of the "Four Best Places to See Maples in China" along with Fragrant Hills in Beijing, Qixia Mountain in Nanjing, and Yuelu Mountain in Changsha. The red maples, strange rocks, and clear springs are known as the "Three Wonders." The 120+ sweetgum trees, which are over 420 years old, form the largest ancient sweetgum forest in East China. • Best viewing period: Mid-November to early December. Zhuozheng Garden • Highlights: As a representative of Jiangnan classical gardens, Zhuozheng Garden is especially poetic in autumn with red maples. The pavilions and maples complement each other, and the red maples and ancient buildings are a perfect match, making the whole garden picturesque. • Best viewing period: Mid-November to early December. Daoqian Street • Highlights: The south side of the 1.5 km long Daoqian Street is lined with ginkgo trees. The golden ginkgo leaves hang on the treetops like strings of golden wind chimes.
