In northern Sichuan, there lies a lake, whose name means "Golden Lake (Seercuo)" in Tibetan and "Yellow Dragon Channel" in Chinese.

The channel is full of calcium carbonate travertine in the form of terrace fields, resembling a flying golden dragon. In the sunshine, the whole channel glitters in gold, like a yellow dragon descending from the snowy mountain.

Red lichen in Hongyuan

Red grass does not grow in Hongyuan, the last leg of grassland in the Red Army's famous Long March. However, every autumn some kind of red lichen grows on the riverbed. Embellished with clusters of red lichen, the vast grassland looks extremely fascinating.

**Red maple in Mi Yaluo

Mi Yaluo is one of the biggest red maple scenic spots in China, covering 3,688 square kilometers, about 180 times bigger than that of Beijing 's Xiangshan.

When the first blast of autumn wind whispers, over 100 species of trees undergo the baptism of frost successively, ushering in its golden prime time. Flaming red maple, golden larch, cream silver birch, and bright red oak -- the concept of color arrangement is collapsing instantly in view of this strong visual hit.
