[Explanation] In the past few days, the temperature in Hong Kong has dropped, and the forests have gradually become stained.

For Hong Kong people who love hiking, climbing and admiring the maple is a great seasonal pleasure in early winter.

Hong Kong is located in the southeast and has a low latitude, so if you want to enjoy the red maple landscape, you need to climb a higher mountain.

The Tai Tong Maple Leaf Forest in Yuen Long, Hong Kong is one of Hong Kong's most famous maple viewing spots.

A few days ago, a reporter from China News Agency saw that along the way, both sides of the mountain road were planted with sweetgum trees, some of the maple leaves had turned dark red, and some tree leaves were turning from green to yellow.

The scenery of the maple forest in early winter attracts a large number of tourists to visit.

　　My mother-in-law and I went to Hongye (Mountain) to see Hongye together.

I think red leaves are very beautiful.

　　[Commentary] The reporter saw at the scene that many photographers came to take pictures with equipment.

They may either look for a suitable angle under the red maple to record the natural beauty, or commemorate the beautiful moments of traveling with relatives and friends in front of the maple forest.

There are also many cycling enthusiasts who specialize in cycling up the mountain to watch the maple leaves, which has a special flavor.

　　The mood is natural and cheerful, and the photos are first-rate, of course it is good here.

With more people coming up, this place will be more prosperous.

There is such a place (appreciating) nature in Hong Kong, it is really top-notch.

　　[Concurrent] Hong Kong citizen Mr. Feng

　　Today I came here to see Hongye, because I have been here before, this year seems to be particularly beautiful, so I will come again, specially by bicycle.

It seems that there are so many people this year, but now it is not a holiday with so many people.

　　[Explanation] According to reports, Yuen Long Taitang originally planted Taiwan acacia forest.

Later, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government replanted a large number of South China Cyclobalanopsis and Liquidambar here to meet the needs of Hong Kong citizens for maple appreciation in the suburbs.

Nowadays, Liquidambar formosana has grown into forests, and there are also a small number of dwarf red-leaf trees planted on the top of the hill.

Because the maple trees here are relatively dense and dense, and the trees are relatively short, some of the red leaves are even within reach, which is convenient for visitors to watch and take photos up close. Tai Tong has also become a popular spot for maple viewing in Hong Kong.

　　This is one of the best places to watch red leaves in Hong Kong now.

It is in this season that the red leaves are particularly beautiful.

Therefore, people from all over Hong Kong will come to our Yuen Long Tai Tong mountain to enjoy the red leaves.

It has basically become a good outdoor activity for Hong Kong citizens to watch the red leaves every year.

　　[Explanation] Liang Zhifeng said that if you want to appreciate the all-red Liquidambar formosana, you need a lower temperature. It is estimated that at the end of December or early January of each year, you can see a scene full of red mountains in Datang.

It is reported that in order to facilitate Hong Kong citizens to formulate a maple appreciation plan, the Hong Kong Agriculture and Fisheries Department has set up a special red leaf information website, which updates the "Red Leaf Index" of various regions every week for the public's reference.
