With temperatures 6–7°C lower than Beijing during the daytime, and 10°C lower in the evening, we experienced on this trip what Beijing will feel like in late autumn this year.

The scenery was a little different on this visit, with some autumn colours starting to show. There were still some flowers to see, as well as giant mushrooms!
