As temperatures have recently dropped and the gap between daytime and nighttime temperatures has widened, the maple leaves in Nantong's urban areas are beginning to turn red, signaling the start of their peak viewing season.

In the Haohe River Scenic Area, layers of red, orange-yellow, and yellow-green maple leaves merge and extend outward, forming a breathtaking scene that looks like a beautiful oil painting, decorating the city's streets.
