The autumn breeze ushers in a cool season — the perfect time for travel. After the hard work of the first half of the year, it's time to slow down, take a good rest, and recharge. The following six stunning autumn sceneries, including Taiwan’s bald cypress, Japanese ginkgo, and the maple hues of Zhangjiajie in China, are all must-sees on your autumn travel list.

1. Showa Park, Japan – Ginkgo
Visiting Japan in the crisp, clear autumn air isn’t just about viewing the maple leaves — you also can’t miss the dreamy sight of ginkgo trees. As they turn from green to golden yellow, the blue sky and green lawns are painted with brilliant yellow, creating a fairytale-like, especially romantic atmosphere.

2. Melbourne’s Tesselaar – Tulips
In the Southern Hemisphere, where it’s warm this time of year, spring is in full swing. Highlights include the “Canberra Flower Festival” and Melbourne’s “Tesselaar Tulip Festival.” These two distinctive flower festivals run until mid-October. Travelers looking to admire floral beauty shouldn’t miss them.

3. Taiwan’s Taiyuan Valley – Bald Cypress
As autumn gradually brings cooler weather, besides viewing maple leaves, the most popular star is undoubtedly the bald cypress. Strolling through vast forests of crimson-colored bald cypress feels like stepping into a movie scene — the dreamy scenery is both romantic and enchanting. Taiwan has many beautiful bald cypress landscapes, and their gorgeous views make you feel as if you’re in a foreign land.

4. Olympic Park, South Korea – Cosmos
In autumn, besides enjoying maple leaves, ginkgo, and bald cypress, you also can’t miss the “king of autumn flowers” — chrysanthemums. In South Korea, until the end of October each year, you can admire the golden cosmos in full bloom, with mid-October being the best time to view them, attracting many tourists.
