The sky is high and the clouds are light, the autumn scenery is picturesque, farming activities pause, and the days are filled with golden brilliance and fullness. There are three phases of Frost's Descent: the first phase is when jackals offer sacrifices to beasts, displaying and eating the wild animals they catch as if performing a ritual; the second phase is when grass and trees turn yellow and fall, the autumn wind is bleak, and fallen leaves cover the ground; the third phase is when hibernating insects curl up, animals preparing for winter hide in caves, motionless and not eating. Qixia Mountain has a unique charm during Frost's Descent, with intoxicating maple reds intertwined with paulownia yellows. Although most plants wither, chrysanthemums bloom alone, persimmons hang heavy on branches, crabs are plump and creamy yellow, Dongshan oranges are red, and Lipu taro is fat. Visitors here can feel the poetic atmosphere of cold mist and evening rain, appreciate the unique transition from autumn to winter, and gain a sense of leisure, tranquility, and comfort. Why not visit Qixia Mountain this Frost's Descent, enjoy the red maples and yellow chrysanthemums, taste sweet persimmons and plump crabs, experience the beauty of seasonal change, and encounter a romance unique to late autumn!
