Jiugong Mountain is a good and comfortable place for people to spend summer. However, do you like to see beautiful colour all around you? If you do, you should visit it during the autumn. The weather starts to get cold, and most of the leaves on the trees change colour. In the summer they are green, but in the autumn they turn red, yellow, orange and brown. Every autumn many people also drive through the country and take a long walk through the forests to see the beautiful colours against the bright blue sky. All the hotels and country inns（乡村旅馆）are crowded with visitors who come to enjoy the colorful leaves.

　　It is fun to find a narrow country path that leads up into mountains. There you can see squirrels（松鼠）, monkeys and other animals running through the fallen leaves. The air smells fresh and good, and there are still many flowers. It is quiet and it makes you happy that you live in such a beautiful place where there are four different seasons.
