Although Canada is located in the cold temperate and frigid zones, the climate in the southeast is moderate with abundant precipitation. Therefore, maple trees grow wild all over the mountains here. A huge red maple leaf pattern is painted in the center of the solemn national flag, and the maple leaf seems to have become a symbol of Canada. In autumn, the fiery red maple leaves dress up the earth, and the leaves are as bright as the morning glow, very magnificent.

Mid-to-late September to late October is the best viewing time for maple leaves. According to the temperature, rain, climate, and other reasons of the year, there may be deviations in the morning and evening. But usually at the end of September and early October, the maple leaves can reach 100% red, and enter the end of the viewing period at the end of October.

The maple viewing is mainly in eastern Canada, and there are very few other areas. The reason is that maple leaves need two internal and external factors to turn red. The former is carotene and anthocyanin, and the latter needs certain climatic conditions.

Only when the temperature drops rapidly enough, and the nighttime temperature drops much more than the daytime temperature, it will contribute to the redness. If the temperature difference between day and night is not large, it is difficult for the leaves to turn red. The temperature in the east is suitable for maple leaves to turn red, so it is advisable to go to the east to enjoy maple.

The maple tree is not only a beautiful sight, but it also has benefits for our eyesight. Maple syrup, which is made from maple sap, is a delicious and healthy addition to our diet. In Canada, it is a common tradition to admire the beautiful maple leaves during the autumn season and enjoy the taste of maple syrup in the spring. Despite being a young country, Canada has a long history of maple trees.
