As September arrives, the pine forests of Duolang Canyon in Zhaosu county, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, transform into a vibrant and mesmerizing “palette." Amidst the usual colors, the yellow birch, red shrubs, and green pine trees create a stunning contrast of fall colors.

Nestled deep in the Tianshan Mountains, Duolang Canyon is a haven of untouched forests and a labyrinth of ravines. The canyon serves as a natural arboretum, where pine trees coexist with various other tree species, creating a harmonious blend of nature's beauty.
