Xiangshan Park can be considered the originator of maple viewing in China. Its red leaves are famous both at home and abroad, and it is also one of the four major maple viewing spots in the country. Every fall at Beijing's Xiangshan Park, the smoke tree leaves all over the mountains turn as red as fire, and after the frost, they turn a deep purplish-red. These smoke trees were planted during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. After more than 200 years of growth, they have gradually formed a forest area with 94,000 smoke trees. Looking out, the distant mountains and nearby slopes are a tapestry of bright red, pink, scarlet, and peach, with distinct layers. In the rustling fall wind, it's as if red clouds are surging over, making the whole mountain seem to sway. With pine and cypress trees dotted in between, the mix of red and green creates a magnificent and splendid scene.

From September 25 to October 15, Xiangshan Park is hosting the limited-time autumn event, "Elegant Osmanthus Fragrance." Over 30 pots of osmanthus flowers are arranged along the route from the Hall of Diligent Government to the Fenglin Village scenic area, with the main exhibition areas at the Hall of Diligent Government, Zhiyuan Study, and Zhisong Park. The highlight of the event is the vibrant display of three types of osmanthus flowers competing in beauty. The golden osmanthus has dense, yellow blossoms with a rich and bold fragrance. The silver osmanthus features flowers that fade from pale yellow to creamy white, offering a mellow and elegant scent. The red osmanthus boasts stunning, bright orange-red flowers with a delicate fragrance, making it a perfect spot for photos.
