Golden autumn leaves
What a view! This breathtaking view of a sea of ginkgo trees is located in Zhashui county, Shaanxi province. Ginkgo trees come in pairs - male and female, and are often intertwined at the roots. Native to China, the tree is widely cultivated. The beautiful leaves turn golden in the autumn season and reflect the sunshine to form this beautiful image. Nature's beauty at its finest.
Fallen panda
A giant panda accidentally fell into a river in Sichuan's Wolong National Park. The panda was holding on for its life! Using all its might, the panda finally climbed over the fence to safety. This chubby one required more than 5 forest security officials to help it. Well I guess when you’re a national treasure you’re kind of a big deal and probably quite used to this kind of royal treatment.
A four-year-old giant panda fell into a river near a hydropower station in southwest China's Sichuan province on November 1, 2016, raising fears it might drown, according to the Sichuan Wolong Nature Reserve. Members from the Giant Panda Protection and Research Center of China and a local forestry department spent three hours rescuing the female panda. She was released back to the forest later that night.

Little speed devil challenges oncoming traffic
Nothing is stopping this little guy from getting to his destination. On October 27th this three-year-old boy was seen riding his training bike against oncoming traffic during rush hour! Courage or carelessness? Thank goodness for the police officer that stopped his motorbike and picked the boy up literally in between moving cars. Good news is the boy was immediately returned to his mother and avoided a traffic ticket for driving in the wrong direction!
