Autumn in Hangzhou isn’t just about cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice—it’s also a time when nature becomes a canvas! 🍂 Students at the China Academy of Art’s Nanshan Campus have transformed fallen leaves into jaw-dropping sculptures for their annual Leaf Art Festival, blending environmental consciousness with urban creativity.
Since 2016, the university has evolved this project from a small campus exhibit into a citywide celebration. This year, intricate leaf installations—think dragons, abstract shapes, and even pop culture nods—are brightening parks, streets, and public spaces. 🌆 \"It’s like nature’s TikTok moment,\" said one student, describing how the temporary art sparks joy before biodegrading.
The festival highlights sustainability and youth innovation, drawing crowds eager to snap Instagram-worthy pics. For travelers, it’s a must-see fusion of art and autumn magic. 🎨✨
