The best places to enjoy the maple are 1 and Wangfengtai.
Be sure to climb Tianping Mountain on Tian Ping Road, because the maple leaf observation deck halfway up the mountain is the best place to see the maple leaf. From here, it is colorful and dazzling, just like a touch of gorgeous rosy clouds hanging in the mountains, and pavilions are hidden among maple leaves, revealing a little blue tile eaves, which adds poetry.
2. Ancient maple forest
Appreciating the maple leaves from the ancient maple forest at the foot of the mountain is called the "Red Zone". There are more than 400 ancient maple trees here. It is said that Fan Yunlin, the grandson of Fan Zhongyan 17, moved from Fujian. In late autumn, Yun Lan's red leaves are as bright as clouds, and leaves of various colors are all over the floor. Rushing into Fenglin to open the concave modeling mode, who can avoid custom?
This lake reflects Feng Dan.
Going deep into Hongfeng, the best scenery is around the edges of several lakes, which is also the most crowded place. The photographer took a long gun and a short gun and constantly captured beautiful shots.
4. LAM Raymond Pavilion
Between the maple leaves and the lake, in addition to the apricot wall and black tiles, it is the ancient building courtyard with white walls and black tiles. Most of the ancestral temples built by Fan Zhongyan and the buildings related to Fan Gongci built by later generations are very elegant.
The maple landscape features of Tianping Mountain "red maple, clear spring and strange rocks" have been known as "three wonders of the balance" since ancient times, among which several red maples are the most famous and legendary. More than 400 years ago, Fan Yunlin, the17th generation of Fan Zhongyan, an outstanding official, writer and painter in the Ming Dynasty, retired from Fujian and returned to his hometown of Suzhou.
Fan Yunlin, who is uncorrupted, brought back 380 Liquidambar formosana seedlings instead of gold and silver treasures. He planted these saplings at the foot of Tianping Mountain around Shi Jingtang, and now they have grown into towering trees. In spring and summer, the ancient maple trees are luxuriant in foliage and cover the sky. Every late autumn, the forest is dyed, especially when the sun sets, and the sunset glow and red leaves set each other off, which is the most spectacular. The most special thing is that after the maple leaves in Tian Ping are turned yellow by frost in autumn, they will show five different colors in turn, namely light yellow, orange yellow, eosin, blood tooth red and crimson. They are called "multicolored maple" and have been known as "Tian Ping Hongfeng is the best in the world" since ancient times.
In addition to planting trees to beautify the environment, Fan Yunlin also donated thousands of acres of fertile land as the poor and weak fields of his family, donated money to repair Gong Fan Temple in Tianping Mountain, and built Tianping Mountain Villa, a private garden, which left us a landscape and a much-told story.
