The Lushan Mountain scenic spot in east China's Jiangxi Province has launched multiple discounts on tickets and accommodations to attract tourists, as autumn brings a rare spectacle of the mountain view ablaze with colorful leaves.
Mount Lushan in November is spectacular with autumn colors, as parasol tree leaves turn yellow and maple leaves turn red. The vibrant autumn scenery is reflected in the lake's surface, creating a dreamlike scene. Numerous tourists have flocked to the mountain from across the country to enjoy the views and take photos to commemorate the occasion.
The Lushan Scenic Area launched its autumn maple-viewing season starting on Saturday, offering multiple ticket and accommodation discounts, including a 50-percent ticket discount for residents of Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, and Jiangxi provinces, and free admission for students worldwide who can conquer the mission of reciting traditional Chinese poems.
"As we walked along the mountain, we could see different views at each place we stopped. The sun is setting right now, shining on the autumn leaves, making the yellow and red leaves incredibly colorful. Lushan Mountain is truly beautiful and unique. The scenery here is so breathtaking," said Ms. Yu, a tourist.

With China assuming the rotating presidency on Friday, the United Nations Security Council will focus its work in May on revitalizing the authority of the UN Charter and the role of the United Nations, while advancing the political settlement of the Middle East issue, and promoting the stability and development of African countries.
Briefing reporters on the Security Council's priorities for May, Fu Cong, China's permanent representative to the United Nations and president of the Security Council for May, made the statement on Friday.
In recent years, the world has been witnessing growing turbulence in the international landscape, with conflicts increasing, divisions widening, and the multilateral system, along with international law, under considerable strain, he said, urging the international community to take urgent actions to uphold the authority of the UN Charter and strengthen the role of the United Nations to prevent the world from "relapsing into the jungle" and "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war".
In this context, Fu said, the Security Council will convene a high-level open debate in May under the theme of upholding the purposes and the principles of the UN Charter and strengthening the UN-centered international system.
