From crimson mountain forests and golden ginkgo trees to coastal views framed by autumn colors, Shandong province offers a variety of landscapes to explore this season.

A new video, Explore Shandong's autumn wonders, takes viewers along two scenic routes across the province, one following the coast and the other exploring the mountains of central Shandong.

The coastal route features Nanshan Scenic Area and Tiangu Mountain in Yantai, Laoshan Mountain in Qingdao, and Chishan Scenic Area in Weihai. Along the route, red foliage spreads across rolling hills, while clear springs, ancient pines, and coastal views create striking seasonal scenery.

The second route highlights autumn landscapes, with stops at Lingyan Temple in Jinan, Taishan Mountain in Tai'an, Baodugu Mountain in Zaozhuang, the Yimeng Mountains in Linyi, Hongye Shiyan and Qishan scenic areas in Zibo, and Shimenfang in Linqu county, Weifang.

The footage captures forests in vivid shades of red and gold, ancient temples framed by ginkgo trees, winding mountain paths, and panoramic views from scenic peaks.

Together, the two routes offer a glimpse of Shandong's diverse autumn landscapes, from the blue coastline to colorful mountain forests.
