Wangcang, a county in Guangyuan, Southwest China's Sichuan province, has entered its prettiest season with leaves turning red in its mountainous areas.

The autumnal leaves of hundreds of tree species, with fascinating shades of red, orange and yellow, cover the Micang Mountain National Nature Reserve.

There are prime clusters of these trees spread all over the county. With more than 20,000 mu (1,333 acres) of forest, the area receives numerous tourists from mid-October to mid-November each year.
