The Badaguan Scenic Area in Qingdao recently experienced a surge in visitor numbers, resulting in traffic congestion in the vicinity.

Badaguan, known for its vibrant ginkgo and oriental plane leaves, sees a significant influx in visitors on weekends during November.

To boost the scenic experience, authorities have halted leaf-sweeping on certain roads, letting a natural yellow leaf carpet enhance the area's autumnal allure.
