Locals suggest the Beijing Festival at Fragrant Hill as one of the best kept fall traditions, and must see events. During your next Beijing vacation, consider gathering at Fragrant Hill to admire the beautiful red leaves during the autumn months. Between the middle of October and early November the leaves are changing, and during this time the trees in the area become ignited with beauty.

If you are interested in a tour through the Fragrant Hill's Beijing Festival, the best place to begin in at the South Mountain of Fragrant Hill. From there, it is suggested that you follow Heyu road to reach the top of the mountain. This is said to be the best place to view the leaves, and is a fun outdoor activity, about a two hour hike in total.

Are you traveling with a family and would still like to take part in the Beijing Festival? Consider taking the Middle Road, suggested as the best choice for a family tour featuring more flat terrain. All of these tour activities are free, and the Beijing Festival of Red Leaves is sure to blow all visitors away.
