Autumn paints Gansu's Luqu in vibrant hues

Autumn paints Luqu county in Gannan Tibetan autonomous prefecture, Gansu province, in a colorful palette. Crimson and golden forests blanket the hills, contrasting with lush grasslands and crystal-clear waters beneath vast blue skies.

With summer crowds gone, October brings a quieter kind of beauty to Luqu's open landscapes. As the sun rises over the plateau, clouds drift above the lakes. The hills glow in a kaleidoscope of colors, as if nature's palette had spilled across the landscape.
