Although autumn is drawing to a close, the colorful leaf season has just arrived.

Unlike the north, the temperature drop in Wuhan in autumn is often not so severe, and the trees rarely receive a unified "signal" to change color.

Ginkgo is the most colorful leaf in Wuhan. It is easy to see it in the streets and alleys. It is very dazzling in a sunny day. The ginkgo trees in Jiefang Park grow on a small hillside, which is convenient for taking photos.

The color change process of Liquidambar formosana is more diverse than that of ginkgo, first changing from green to yellow, and then from yellow to red. 🍁So every few days the Liquidambar tree will have a different color, and the photos taken will be more diverse.

The plane tree changes color relatively late. After a long period of spring, summer and autumn, the leaves will slowly change color in late autumn and early winter, first turning yellow and then caramel color, and then fall in the cold wind in late winter, returning the warm sunshine that has been hidden for half a year to passers-by. Jiefang Park Road is the most classic "Wutong Avenue", while Lingbo Gate on Donghu South Road is blessed with blue sky and clear water.

The city tree of Wuhan, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, and its good friends, the pond cypress and the bald cypress, are a bright spot in Wuhan in autumn and winter. Now is the time when their colors are most complex. By mid-December when they all turn brown-red, it will be a completely different scene.

There is also the Koelreuteria paniculata, which is the first to announce the arrival of autumn. Its yellow flowers fall and lantern-like red fruits appear, which then slowly fade as winter approaches. Koelreuteria paniculata is the longest-lasting autumn in Wuhan.

The autumn scenery is precious because it is short-lived. 🌾The weather has been sunny recently and the temperature is not too low. Let's take advantage of the tail end of autumn to go out and take beautiful photos [Like]
