Terraced rice fields, Yuanyang County, China

The Yuanyang rice terraces are a sight to behold and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in the Yunnan province in China, these spectacular terraced fields cover an area of more than 65 square miles and are more than 1,300 years old. The rice fields are carved along the original contour lines of the mountains, and their beautiful hues, eye-catching landscape, and gigantic size make them a marvel to look at and photograph.

The centuries-old culture of the indigenous Hani people is still very visible in this quiet space: Colorful outfits, traditional houses, and buffaloes working the fields complete the picture.

永福樱花园，福建龙岩

立春，为二十四节气之首。立，是“开始”之意；春，代表着温暖、生长。立春标志着万物闭藏的冬季已过去，开始进入风和日暖、万物生长的春季。时至立春，在我国的北回归线（黄赤交角）及其以南一带，可明显感觉到早春的气息。虽然立春节气是从天文中划分的，但每年在立春节气后，人们开始有了一些踏春出游的活动。

天门洞，湖南天门山国家森林公园

这张照片所呈现的石拱就是天门洞，它是湖南省北部最受欢迎的标志性景点之一，位于湖南天门山国家森林公园内。要想到达天门洞，你要么选择乘坐缆车，要么乘坐公共汽车穿过有九十九道弯的公路。下车后，你还需要步行登上陡峭的九百九十九级天梯。天门洞海拔高度有4100英尺，整个洞高440英尺、宽180英尺。尽管到达天门洞并非易事，但这趟行程绝对物超所值。

Heaven's Gate Cave, Tianmen Mountain National Park, China

The rock arch formation you're looking at today is Heaven's Gate Cave, a popular landmark in Hunan province, China. This busy tourist destination is located on Tianmen (Heaven's Gate) Mountain in Tianmen Mountain National Park. To reach the arch, you must either ride a cable car or take a bus up a twisty, winding road with 99 turns. (The number 9 represents eternity in Chinese numerology.) Once off the bus, you'll need to walk 999 steps up a 45-degree incline—a stairway to the heavens. It's no easy feat, but this is no ordinary cave. At an elevation of 4,100 feet, the arch is 440 feet high and 180 feet wide.

庐山冬季景观

今年11月7日是“立冬”节。立冬也是农历冬季的第一个节气。冬季的开始从11月7日或8日持续到22日或23日，与春天开始、夏天开始和秋天开始一样，它代表着一个新季节的开始。

我们仍然保持着在立冬时吃美味食物的习俗。在中国南方，鸡、鸭、鱼和其他肉类是人们的首选；在中国北方，尤其是北京和天津，人们喜欢吃饺子，象征着季节的变化。

Winter landscape on Lushan

November 7 this year is the "Start of Winter" festival. The start of Winter is also the first solar term of winter in the lunar calendar. The start of Winter lasts from November 7th or 8th to the 22nd or 23rd, and like Spring Begins, Summer Begins, and Autumn Begins, it stands for the beginning of a new season.

We still keep this custom of eating delicious food at the Beginning of winter. In south China, chicken, duck, fish, and other meats are people's first choice; in north China, especially in Beijing and Tianjin, people would like to have Jiaozi (Dumpling), signifying the change of seasons.

贴秋膘了吗？ Fleshing out in autumn

The beginning of autumn

The beginning of autumn is the 13th solar term in the twenty-four solar terms and the first solar term in autumn; in nature, everything begins to grow from lush and mature to bleak and mature. The beginning of autumn does not mean the end of the hot weather. The beginning of autumn is still in the hot period, the summer has not yet come out, and the weather is still very hot during the early autumn. The so-called "hot in the three volts", there is also the saying "one volt after the autumn", there will be at least "one volt" of extremely hot weather after the beginning of autumn.

From the perspective of meteorological changes, entering autumn means that rainfall and humidity are at a turning point in the year and tend to decline or decrease. With the change of seasons, the rainfall and dry humidity in the South have obvious changes; In northern China, the obvious change is the temperature.

初秋

秋初是二十四节气中的第十三节气，也是秋季的第一节气；在自然界中，一切都开始从繁茂和成熟到暗淡和成熟。秋天的开始并不意味着炎热天气的结束。初秋仍然处于炎热时期，夏天还没有出来，初秋的天气仍然很热。所谓“热在三伏”，也有“秋后一伏”之说，初秋后至少会有“一伏”的酷热天气。

从气象变化的角度来看，进入秋季意味着一年中降雨量和湿度处于转折点，并趋于下降或减少。随着季节的变化，南方的降雨量和干湿度有明显的变化；在中国北方，最明显的变化是气温。
