The maple leaves here are absolutely beautiful.

Benxi in Liaoning is known as the "Maple Leaf Capital", and the "ceiling" for viewing maple leaves in Benxi is Guanmen Mountain. On the last day of the National Day holiday, we went to Guanmen Mountain to see the maple leaves. There are colorful leaves all over the mountains and valleys, gorgeous water and sky, splashing streams and waterfalls, and small bridges and plank roads with changing light and shadow... It is so beautiful. Guanmen Mountain really deserves the title of "ceiling for viewing maple leaves". When talking about the beauty of Guanmen Mountain, we must first mention the "King of Maple". In the photos and videos I have seen before, there was always a crowd of people under the "Maple King" tree, but now there was no one there. At first I thought that tourists were not allowed to get close, but it turned out that it was because the tourists had not arrived yet. People who got up early had a good view. This "Maple King" is more than 100 years old and more than 11 meters tall. It has lush branches and is always the first to turn red in autumn every year. Its colors are bright and its postures are elegant. The maple leaves on the tree have nine corners, eleven corners, and a rare thirteen corners. It is truly the "King of Maple Trees." The highway is high up and the "Maple King" doesn't look very tall. Only when you get under the tree do you realize how tall it is. The sun shines through the leaves and gathers into starlight. Anyone who comes to Guanmen Mountain must check in here. After a while, there was a crowd of people under the big tree. There are many lakes in the park. In autumn, the trees on the mountains beside the lake are colorful and their reflections in the lake water create a riot of colors that complement the surrounding maple leaves, which is a beautiful sight. The lake water is clear and calm, like a huge mirror, perfectly reflecting the beautiful scenery on the shore in the water. The upper and lower parts are symmetrical, and the virtual and the real complement each other, adding a dreamy beauty. The mountain stream meanders, the water is crystal clear and looks even more lively against the backdrop of maple leaves. The stream and maple leaves are intertwined. The maple leaves fall on the water and flow slowly with the stream, like a flowing painting, adding a touch of poetry and romance to Guanmen Mountain in autumn.
