As autumn breezes sweep through the city's streets and lanes, why not take a leisurely autumn walk along Wusi Street?

Autumn colors have transformed the entire neighborhood. The tall ash trees lining both sides of the street are gradually turning from green to golden yellow, their leaves glowing in the autumn light. Strolling beneath the trees, you'll find golden foliage set against red-brick buildings at every turn. There's no need to venture into the countryside: the streets and lanes in urban areas provide plenty of opportunities to experience the unique autumn poetry of Beijing, an ancient capital.

Recommended Walking Route

Exit A of National Art Museum Station on Subway Line 8 → Enjoy the autumn scenery of the ash trees along Wusi Street → Chang Chun Tang (长春堂) → The Red Building of Peking University → Back to the National Art Museum of China. 

The entire walk takes about one hour at a relaxed pace, making it ideal for a stroll.
