The location in Du Mu's poem "Mountain Journey" is the maple forest in late autumn.
Original text of the work:
"Mountain Travel"
Du Mu
Far up the cold mountain, the stone path is sloping, and there is a home deep in the white clouds.
I park my car and sit in the maple forest at night, the leaves are as red as the flowers in February due to frost.
