"Since ancient times, people have felt sad and lonely when autumn comes. I say that autumn is better than spring." It is the most poetic season of golden autumn. At this time in Kang County, the autumn wind blows across the mountains and fields, rendering the world colorful. With every turn of the calendar, the autumn colors of Kang County become more intense. The most beautiful poems can be found in the autumn of Kang County. Now is the best time to view ginkgo trees. In the beautiful village of Yangba, the thousand-year-old ginkgo trees and large golden ginkgo leaves fallen on the ground look like golden carpets, which are beautiful beyond words. Going down along the Yanzi River, the mountains on both sides are covered with beautiful red leaves, and a large patch of ginkgo leaves on the shore sparkles golden under the sunlight. Different from the green mountains and clear waters in midsummer, when the autumn wind blows, the valley of Huaqiao Village becomes a sea of ​​colorful forests. Walking on the small path paved with platforms, looking at the hills and blue sky and white clouds reflected in the autumn water, it feels like you are swimming in a painting. It is full of poetic and picturesque scenery that is fascinating. The autumn wind is blowing, and the persimmons in Huaqiao Village are ripe. Under the sunlight, the bright red persimmons exude a sense of fullness and joy. This is the unique autumn charm of Huaqiao. It is not as flamboyant as midsummer, nor as bleak as winter. Yanjiaba is even more tranquil in the autumn colors. The two thousand year old ginkgo trees and the walnut trees full of fruits fully reflect the colors of autumn in Yanjiaba. When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shines through the old wooden lattice windows and onto the big kang, what you see outside the window is the perfect fusion of mountain and rural scenery. Zhujiagou, which has a history of more than 550 years, still retains the flavor of an ancient village. In a corner of the village, there is an ancient country homestay - Wufulinmen Inn. Walking into the "Wufulinmen" B&B, you can see rooms with their own characteristics, such as holding the plow, picking chrysanthemums, clear springs, dawn and dusk, birds singing, and insects chirping. It is primitive and simple yet has a modern charm.

Huaqiao Village, located in Changba Town, Kang County, Longnan City, Gansu Province, was once a well-known post station on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road and is currently developed into a famous tourist attraction. The village is surrounded by trees, the pond is full of water, and the small village is full of spring scenery. It is also one of the most beautiful villages in China. #See the Earth in an instant
