Suzhou greenery authorities announced that from Nov 22 to Dec 20, colorful fallen leaves will remain on 24 roads in the city rather than being cleaned up, allowing people to appreciate the vibrant foliage and soak in the season.
Two roads in Suzhou New District, namely Zhuyuan Road and Taihu Avenue, are on the list, and they feature Acer rubrum and gingko trees, respectively.
Trash among the fallen leaves will be removed and the fallen leaves will be cleaned up at a later date depending on the weather and temperature.
Suzhou has been dealing with leaves in this manner for the past 12 years, as it is popular among the public.
