A
Where to See Amazing Colours Around the World
Lake District
As you wander along Windermere to the centre of Ambleside, autumn colours are rich. Looking across the water, it seems that the tree line is alight(闪亮的) with red and orange leaves. As you round the bend on to the road into town, you are faced with a hillside that celebrates autumn at its best.
Canada Dorset Lookout Tower, near Toronto
Before you reach Dwight, climb the Dorset Lookout Tower, 142 metres above the Lake of Bays. From up here, the canopy(树冠) is an autumnal quilt reaching to the horizon, refreshing the eyes and invigorating the spirit.
Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee/North Carolina
Autumn in this national park is amazing. Just outside quaint Townsend, Tennessee, it is a bikeable and drivable 11-mile loop(环形车道), but be sure to explore the cabins and fields on foot. Late October and early November is my favourite time to visit it; the colours are great and the weather is cool enough to allow nice walks and hikes.
Kamikochi National Park, Honshu
In central Honshu, three hours’ drive northeast of Nagoya, is one of the most charming places in the Japanese Alps. The mountain slopes are covered with forests of larch(落叶松) and beech that blaze scarlet and orange in autumn. Wisps of smoke hang in the still air above Yakedake Volcano, and the glass surface of Taisho Pond perfectly reflects the trees and snow-dusted mountains.
