Editor's note: Nestled in the Haidian district of northwestern Beijing, Zizhuyuan Park, also known as Purple Bamboo Park, is one of the seven largest parks in the city, covering a total area of 47.35 hectares. 

The park's three interconnected lakes, bridges and several small hills form a mountain-and-water garden in the classical Chinese-style.

As autumn arrives, Zizhuyuan Park in Beijing transforms into a picturesque retreat filled with vibrant colors. It offers both residents and visitors a perfect destination to appreciate the splendor of the season, unwind amid nature, and savor moments of leisure and tranquility.
