On this day, we came to Ukyo District, Kyoto, and visited the famous places for red leaves one by one. After visiting Dajue Temple in the morning, we walked to Qingliang Temple on the way. I was attracted by the beautiful scenery of red leaves in front of me all the way. I forgot about the fatigue of walking and couldn't help but come here to find out. In the tea house in Qingliang Temple, tourists can quietly drink tea and enjoy the scenery. The atmosphere is peaceful and leisurely. Such beauty can only be truly appreciated by coming here in person.
