## About Hongye Valley (Red Leaf Valley)

One valley has four seasons, and each season brings a different sky. In spring, flowers bloom among the trees and orioles flit about in flocks. In summer, mountain breezes bring refreshing coolness, making it a rare retreat from the heat. In autumn, the mountains turn red as far as the eye can see, a magnificent sight. In winter, snow blankets the peaks and the trees glisten like jade and flowers of ice. It is an excellent year-round holiday destination.
