The bustle and clamor of National Day have quietly ended. The crowds have dispersed and the revelry faded, and only now—with the noise gone—does Tianzhushan welcome the gentlest, most restorative autumn scenery of the year. Compared with the din of the holiday, the quiet of an empty mountain in autumn is Tianzhushan's own unique romance.

The autumn wind sweeps across the ridges, softly tinting the whole forest. The evergreen pines remain verdant and upright, while sweetgum and Chinese tallow change color one after another, dots of orange-red and golden yellow scattered among green hills and boulders, layer upon layer, artfully arranged. Mist drifts lingeringly through the mountains and winds around jagged peaks and curious rocks, softening the hard outlines of the stone and filling the scene with atmosphere.

No need to plunge into the crowds, no need to rush. Autumn is the best time to climb slowly and take in the views at leisure. Follow the stone steps at an easy pace, with soft mountain breezes and woodland sounds in your ears and drifting clouds and autumn-touched peaks before your eyes. Far from the city's noise and restlessness, immerse yourself in the calm and vastness of the wilds—healing every trace of fatigue.

Autumn at Tianzhushan is cool and pleasant, neither dry nor cold—the perfect season for climbing high. At dawn you may meet ethereal seas of clouds, in the afternoon soft autumn light, and at dusk tender afterglow; every step a new scene, all of it scenery worthy of the autumn light.

Tianzhushan, its autumn at its most radiant, quietly awaits your arrival.
