I didn't expect it! Xuzhou, this place, amazed me throughout the winter

This year I've been to many places, and I didn't expect that the most amazing place would be in Xuzhou. I knew that the most beautiful season to go to Xuzhou is autumn and winter, but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful! Xuzhou Xima Terrace is one of the earliest existing relics in Xuzhou. After the world hero Xiang Yu destroyed Qin, he established himself as the King of Western Chu, set the capital in Pengcheng, and built a high platform on the south mountain of the city to watch horse plays, hence the name Xima Terrace. As soon as we arrived at the entrance of Xima Terrace Scenic Area, we saw the ginkgo trees on both sides of the road swaying in the breeze like gold, and the falling leaves were scattered into a golden ginkgo avenue. The moment I saw the statue of Xiang Yu in the scenic area was even more amazing. A poem came to my mind, 'The whole city is covered with golden armor'. The golden ginkgo leaves covered the feet of the hero, and the huge tree canopy in the courtyard was shining in the sun. However, there is more than one amazing shooting location in Xima Terrace. In the winding garden in the backyard, there is a pavilion where you can overlook Xuzhou city. You can see two ancient trees, one red and one yellow, reflecting each other in the quaint courtyard, and you can also see the ginkgo trees thriving among the thousands of roof tiles. Out of the garden, there is a side yard, where the glazed tile eaves and the dazzling ginkgo leaves form the most beautiful painting of winter. The two coiled dragon columns in front of the main hall of the courtyard are precious cultural relics, one of the ancient components preserved in the Xima Terrace architectural complex. The carving is rough and the shape is vivid. Now it is protected by a glass cover, which is worth a visit. Leaving Xuzhou, I may never be able to take such beautiful golden autumn atmosphere photos again.
