The Chinese parasol trees hug the Huaxi River along the road with the lush, rich yellow and russet hues bursting from their leaves. With no wonder, the local residents of Huaxi district, Guiyang call it "Golden Avenue"–the capital city of Southwest China's Guizhou province.

Residents and visitors who aren't eager to embrace the chilly weather can at least be comforted by the gorgeous autumn view.
