Aussie autumn doesnt kick off in earnest15） until March. And while you wouldnt usually associate the land of beaches， surfing and summer heat with glorious autumnal colour， the Dandenong Ranges near Melbourne dont disappoint. As well as being a national park of breathtaking beauty， the area is also dotted with gardens. The Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens are definitely worth a visit when their lawns are carpeted with fallen leaves and their trees areaglow16）.

隨著葡萄藤上的葉子變黃，消夏的游客踏上歸程，再沒有比這時更適宜游覽法國盧瓦爾河谷的時候了。起伏的葡萄園脫去夏季的綠衣，披上秋日的黃色、棕色和焦橙色，看上去明媚燦爛。秋天也是收獲的季節(jié)，因此，你可以在葡萄田里看人們采摘葡萄，然后再找個舒服的地方一坐，一邊欣賞眼前美景，一邊細(xì)品當(dāng)?shù)孛谰啤?/p>

澳大利亞的丹德農(nóng)山脈國家公園

澳大利亞的秋天直到3月才真正開始。雖然人們通常不會把這片有關(guān)海灘、沖浪、夏日熱浪的土地與炫目的秋色聯(lián)系在一起，但是墨爾本附近的丹德農(nóng)山脈絕不會讓人失望。這里不僅是有著驚人美景的國家公園，還散布著大大小小的花園。秋天的尼古拉斯·艾爾弗雷德紀(jì)念花園里，草坪鋪滿落葉，樹木散發(fā)著柔和的光芒，絕對值得一游。

法國的盧瓦爾河谷

Nara， Japan

Autumn in Japan is every bit17） as stunning as the short-lived cherry blossom season in spring. Autumn leaves can be seen across the country， starting in the northern island of Hokkaido and spreading quickly south from the end of September. The ancient capital of Nara， a short train ride from Kyoto， makes a wonderful viewing spot. Its vast park is awash18） with colour， with sensational views of red， gold and yellow leaves along the paths up to Tamukeyamashrine19） in its northeast corner.

Pitlochry， Scotland

Scotlands pine forests may not change colour， but its deciduous20） trees offer some of the finest autumn hues21） in Europe. Walk out of town to the dam and fish ladder22）， which separates the River Tummel and Loch Faskally， to get the perfect view of waterside trees as they shed their leaves. Each October Pitlochry also plays host to the Enchanted Forest， a nightly event that sees the trees lit up to soaring music in the woods just outside town.

Lombardy， Italy

Still mild even as the leaves fall， Lombardy in northern Italy is an ideal place to see mainland Europe burst into colour. The native Lombardy poplars23）， which can be seen across the landscape， turn a bright yellow before their leaves fall to the floor. If you cant make it to the countryside， Milans public gardens offer a great city view of autumn.
