Recently, the maple leaves on Yuelu Mountain have turned red, attracting many tourists to admire the stunning maple scenery.

Aiwan Pavilion is located in the Qingfeng Gorge on the east side of the Yuelu Mountain Scenic Area. Built in 1792 AD, the pavilion was named after a poem Strolling in the Mountain written by Du Mu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. Aiwan Pavilion is known as the four famous pavilions in China, together with the Zuiweng Pavilion in Anhui's Chuzhou, the Huxin Pavilion in Zhejiang's Hangzhou, and the Taoran Pavilion in Beijing.
