Has Jiuzhaigou’s autumn not arrived yet this year? 🍂

🍁 Some say: Has Jiuzhaigou’s autumn not arrived yet this year? 🍂
Did the leap month "steal" Jiuzhaigou’s autumn?
This belated official answer has the explanation!

Lately, many of you have asked me:
Why is Jiuzhaigou’s autumn arriving so late this year?
The answer lies in the leap month of the lunar calendar. 🌙
It turns out that to balance the time difference between the lunar and solar calendars,
This extra leap month has gently delayed the natural clock.
When the Gregorian calendar turned to October,
The earth’s rhythm still lingered in the final notes of late summer.

📸 Real-time photos from October 15th:
• The lakes of Jiuzhaigou remain as green as jade.
• The mountains have just begun to show scattered hints of light yellow.
• Sunlight sparkling on the water still carries the warmth of summer.

Did you know?
Leaves need low temperatures to "catalyze" their transformation into gold and crimson,
Just like bread needs sufficient baking time.
The persistent high temperatures have delayed the tipping of autumn’s palette.

Nature never errs;
It only heeds the whispers of sunlight and temperature.
When the temperature difference between day and night begins to widen,
The mountains will don their glorious attire overnight.

✨ Best viewing period prediction:
To witness the full splendor of autumn this year,
It is recommended to visit between October 25th and November 1st.
During this time, you will see:
✔ Forests painted in a spectrum of vibrant colors.
✔ Stunning scenes of emerald waters reflecting the autumn foliage.
✔ A visual feast of autumn hues set against snow-capped mountains.

Including areas like the Fairy Pool,
The entire region will transform into a flowing oil painting.
Every turn will bring you face-to-face with autumn’s embrace.

We recommend saving this autumn preview
And preparing for a visual feast like no other! 💫
