The 2012 Fragrant Hills Red Leaves Festival is scheduled to open this coming Friday, according to the Beijing Evening Post.

The annual event has previously been a tourist magnet for Fragrant Hills in western Beijing. To ease traffic congestion, a number of bus lines have been designated to transport citizens and tourists from downtown Beijing to Fragrant Hills this year.

Due to the warm weather, the festival is expected to last for 31 days, the longest in its 24-year history. An estimated 1.5 million visitors will come for this year's festival, peaking on weekends.
