In May, temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere warmed, and men and women put on short skirts and shorts, showing youth and vitality. In the Southern Hemisphere, the sweltering autumn wind keeps people pinching their neckline in an effort to retain a trace of warmth in the cold wind.
The Northern Hemisphere wears warm flowers, people go out in twos and threes, enjoy the warm spring light. People in the Southern Hemisphere, although the seasons are different, but people do not reduce the interest of the trip, spring has a wonderful spring, autumn has the taste of autumn. And in autumn, the most distinctive attraction is the Loveden Mountain Botanical Garden (Mount Lofty Botanic Garden).

From the top of the hill, the trees on both sides of the road meet overhead, and the people below seem to wander along the boulevard. Most trees are still green in autumn. If you didn't know it was May, no one would think it was autumn. Walking, sometimes there will be a different color flash through the eyes, orange, but also red. Some might think the red trees are too, but this is just "not knowing the true face of Mount Lushan because it's in the mountains."
There are several different paths down the hill to choose from, passengers with old and young children can choose to go pavement, the slope is not too steep, the road is not too slippery, even in leather shoes or high heels, there is no problem at all. the road is not too steep, the road is not too slippery, even in leather shoes or high heels, there is no problem at all.

It will soon be possible to reach the lake at the foot of the mountain, sometimes blue, sometimes gray, and sometimes green, depending on the weather.
Standing on the levee by the lake, you can also see the reflection of colorful trees in the water. There are tables and chairs by the lake, where tired people can rest, eat a sandwich and drink two mouths of juice. Next to the shoal, there will be some ducks and some black swans. They are sometimes colder, and when they see someone coming, they swim away as if nothing happened. If they see the food, they immediately open their teeth and claw and snatch, as if it was not themselves who was just arrogant and aloof.
A few more steps will bring you to a flower bed, with red and white chrysanthemum, purple Persian chrysanthemum, yellow crystal chrysanthemum, purple lavender.
At this time, look back at the mountain path just now, you can see the true face. After walking out of the woods, you can see that there is not only green, but also pieces of gold and red on the mountain. And the scene can only be seen in autumn.
