    Located on the back of Siguniang Mountain, Bipenggou National Park, a large-scale ecological tourism scenic area , is regarded as "the beautiful shadow of Siguniang Mountain".

    The sceneries change according to seasons. Visitors can appreciate the cuckoos in spring, meadows in summer, colorful forests in autumn and snow in winter.

    In autumn, Bipenggou becomes a colorful fairyland. There're red maples around the mountains and waters. Apart from maples, there’re various trees with colorful leaves, including birches, larix, pistacia chinensis, Cercidiphyllum, etc. In autumn, the change of temperature causes the change of pigments proportion in plants, especially carotene and anthocyanin. The carotene makes the leaves yellow and anthocyanin turns them into red.
