The Cold Dew, (Chinese: 寒露 hanlu), the 17th solar term of the traditional Chinese solar calendar, began on Oct 8 this year and will end on Oct 23.

During this period, it is much colder than during the White Dew in most areas of China. More and more dew that condenses during the cold of night will become frost as the season progresses, which will also bring less and less rain. Let's have a look at these autumn sights at Shandong University during the Cold Dew.
