Open the picture book and join the little one on a journey through his hometown, exploring scenic spots and savoring local delicacies.

Climb to a high vantage point, wear dogwood, make Double Ninth cakes, and brew your own chrysanthemum tea...
And don't miss the vibrant "autumn drying" displays in every household, which turn the village into a picturesque scene straight out of a poem.
