Dear Vinotha,

Greetings from Sophie, Top China Travel!
Thank you very much for your questions.

At first, please kindly be advised that the end of Oct is going to the mid Autumn. Therefore, it is around 20-25 degrees centigrade at day time in both cities, but it is cool at night. It is cooler at night in Beijing than in Shanghai.
Besides, it is windy in Beijing these days. For more information, please check below website: http://en.weather.com.cn/

For Xiangshan Hill Park( Fragrant Hills Park), the leaves begin to be red and there is a Red Leaves Festival every year from the mid Oct to the mid of Nov.
There is entrance fee for the park. You could buy it at the spot. Besides, if you need to take cable car up to the hill, there will be cable car fee. There is a temple on the hill. If you want to visit it , there will be entrance fee.

It is located at the Northwestern suburb of Beijing city, it is around 20km away from the city center. The park opens at 0600~18:00

Public Transportation:
Bus No 634 Xizhimen Stop to Xiangshan Hill Park East Entrance
Bus No 360 Beijing Zoo stop to Xiangshan Hill Park

Or you could take taxi from your hotel to the Park.

If you often do individual travel on your own to foreign countries, it will not be difficult.

Hope the above is clear and helpful.
