to Lijiashan and Qikou

To reach Qikou, there are frequent buses at West Bus Station but no buses to reach Lijiashan. You can follow this route: Taiyuan-Qikou-Lijiashan
As for the organized tours, you can find many travel agency locally after you reach Taiyuan and you can ask them for help.

I am planning to go to Qikou/Lijiashan between October 10-12.
I have seen the area on photos made in summer and looked very nice, and green (rice terraces).
I know that the rice harvest is already over and the terraces going to be barren but I would like to know if the trees are still going to have leaves on?
