Visit the Dabie Mountains to see the most beautiful autumn scenery. Count down the top 10 autumn views in the Dabie Mountains hinterland.
Preface
With the arrival of autumn again, my mind is flooded with images of traditional autumn viewing spots. Today, I'd like to recommend a rarely-visited, stunning spot for autumn viewing: the Dabie Mountains. In late autumn, the mountains and plains are ablaze with crimson, their forests ablaze with color. The mountains and plains present a magnificent painting, with crimson leaves blanketing the hills, streams forming the backdrop, and pines and cypresses serving as the ink, a vibrant and unrestrained canvas.
The Dabie Mountains stretch across the Central Plains, with majestic peaks and dangerous roads standing tall, winding and pleasant mountain streams, blooming mountain flowers, and stunning autumn colors. Liquidambar, cotinus, tallow tree, metasequoia, ginkgo... all compete to change their "appearances" and present a visual feast.
Let You Xiaoxia take you deep into the Dabie Mountains in the golden autumn, walk the roads less traveled, and experience the ten most beautiful autumn colors of the Dabie Mountains. Together we will be drawn into paintings and poems.
Mazongling, Lu'an, Anhui Province - A fairyland hidden in the mountains
Mazongling, nestled in the heart of the Dabie Mountains, boasts 70,000 mu of primeval forest and is a national nature reserve. Li Zicheng of the Ming Dynasty rode his horse across the ridge, leading to the name Mazongling, a play on its pronunciation of "Mazongling." It's said that Mazongling lies along the golden line of 31 degrees north latitude. Its unique location allows it to exhibit the cycle of seasons and the unique beauty of the mysterious primeval forest.
In autumn, the mountains of Mazongling are ablaze with crimson, their forests awash in vibrant colors. From foot to summit, the slopes, both near and far, blend from deep green to light green, then pale yellow, golden yellow, and then a crisscross of yellow-green. The vibrant colors of gold and red intertwine, layer upon layer, creating a vibrant, mountain-wide brilliance. Walking along the winding road, you'll find towering peaks on one side and crisscrossing valleys on the other. Birds sing in the mountains, and streams gurgle at the bottom. Standing atop the mountain, you'll feel a sense of expansiveness, a sense of achievement, and a profound sense of achievement. Strange peaks, pines, flowers, and rocks dot the landscape, creating a harmonious interplay of mountain, water, and forest scenery.
Mazongling has not yet been developed into a scenic spot. The local government is preparing to vigorously develop it. While it is still in its original state, friends can quickly go there to see the unique scenery.
Painted Stone Valley
Huashi Valley is a river valley made up of beautiful flowered stone slabs. The riverbed is colorful and has uneven shapes. It is about 4 kilometers long. Spring water flows slowly on the stone slabs. The water is clear and the stones are enchanting.
Tongtian Grand Canyon
Tongtian Grand Canyon is 3 kilometers long and nearly 100 meters high. The canyon is flanked by steep cliffs at 90 degrees. Ancient trees grow on both sides of the river, and the fragrance of wild tea wafts through the forest. Unknown wild flowers and weeds can be seen everywhere, creating a dazzling scene with every step.
National Fitness Hiking Trail
The complete hiking trail is a circular route that goes all the way to the commanding height of Shengguajian. Walking along the winding mountain paths, you can look into the distance and see the undulating mountains. Looking around the hillsides, you can see light blue, dark green, orange, fiery red, and golden yellow, a variety of colors intertwined with each other, scattered at different heights.
Watching the sunrise on the ridge
At dawn, standing on a ridge, gazing eastward, the sea of clouds on the horizon gradually brightens, first rosy, then lavender, then orange. Suddenly, rays of sunlight pierce the clouds like fireworks, dyeing the sky a brilliant crimson. The sun then rises, illuminating the forests and bathing the peaks in gold. The clouds are a riot of color, the sunset glows like brocade, and everything in the world is bathed in a vibrant world of vibrant colors.
Ever-changing Cloud Sea Flow
In autumn, Mazongling is bathed in a vast sea of clouds and a vibrant array of vibrant colors. It's like stepping into a colorful city in the sky. Reaching the summit, you're immersed in the sea of clouds, surrounded by mist.
Passing through the Mazongling Scenic Area, the waterfall is quite stunning.
In autumn, the mountains of Mazongling are all red and the forests are dyed in the same color.
Looking at the mountains in the early morning, my mind is open.
Tips:
Travel tips: The various tourist spots in Mazongling are far apart, which is suitable for self-driving. It is a bit remote to walk to each spot. In addition, the tourist spots in Mazongling are in an undeveloped state. Friends who have no outdoor hiking experience need to ask a local guide to lead the way.

Yaoluoping, Yuexi - An Autumn Fairy Tale
Yaoluoping, a legendary place, a poetic name, a place people yearn for.
Yaoluoping National Nature Reserve, located in Baojia Township, Yuexi County, boasts an exceptionally beautiful natural environment. The area boasts over 60 peaks exceeding 1,000 meters in elevation, including Tuojian and Duozhijian, both 1,750 meters high, the second and third highest peaks in the Dabie Mountains, respectively. The diverse landscapes, encompassing seas of forest, clouds, and fog, create a breathtaking spectacle.
Yaoluoping has both natural ecological scenery and red historical relics. In autumn, if you walk in Yaoluoping for about 10 miles, you can climb to Duozhijian, which is 1,750 meters above sea level.
During the annual maple leaf viewing season, if you visit Yaoluoping and find a high vantage point to gaze out over the mountains, the vibrant colors of red, orange, yellow, and green cast a breathtaking spectacle. The entire mountain path is blanketed in crimson leaves, creating a truly magical atmosphere. For an even more captivating crimson, venture into the maple forest and unwind amidst a sea of leaves.
Ten-mile Gallery
A dozen miles down the river from Yaoluoping National Nature Reserve, you'll find the beautiful "Ten-Mile Gallery," a dazzling display of vibrant colors. The scene of serene brooks, vibrant maples, and countless species vying for freedom in the frosty sky has long been renowned.
The 28th Red Army Memorial Hall
The former site of the Red 28th Army Headquarters in Yaoluoping, Dabie Mountains, Yuexi, Anhui Province is one of the 100 key red tourism classic scenic spots in the country. The exhibition hall covers an area of 800 square meters and fully displays the glorious historical facts of the Red 28th Army's arduous guerrilla warfare.
Wu-Chu Ancient Great Wall
Zhaoguan, a majestic pass on the ancient Wu-Chu Great Wall, is the site of the story of Wu Zixu's hair turning white overnight after crossing Zhaoguan. The easternmost viewing platform on the Chu Great Wall offers the best vantage point for sunrise viewing, marking the spot where the first rays of dawn rise over the land of Jingchu.
Wander through the Ten-Mile Gallery and pass through the canyon.
Climb among the branches and watch the endless changes of colors.
Yaoluoping in autumn is a combination of fairy tale and poetry.
Tips:
Yaoluoping is located in the heart of the Dabie Mountains, so the most convenient way to get there is by car. Starting from Hefei, take the Shanghai-Shaanxi Expressway and the Ji-Guang Expressway, exit at Danlongsi in Huoshan County, and follow the S318 highway to Yaoluoping. Aside from the winding mountain roads, the roads are generally in excellent condition.
Yaoluoping is basically in its original state, with few farmhouses. You need to book accommodation and meals in advance before going. The Ten-Li Gallery is far away from the concentrated accommodation points of the farms, so it is suitable for self-driving. The hiking route of Yaoluoping is not difficult and is very suitable for friends who love the primitive nature.

Tiantangzhai's breathtaking natural beauty, with its rocks, springs, clouds, pines, waterfalls, and mist, creates a scene reminiscent of paradise. Its scenery changes endlessly with each season, creating a scene reminiscent of paradise. Tiantangzhai's most legendary attraction is Zheren Peak, standing at 1,518 meters above sea level. Untouched by human intervention, it is truly natural and is said to be the reincarnation of Emperor Tianwan, Xu Shouhui. It is considered one of the "Three Wonders of Paradise." The 145-meter sightseeing elevator is also a unique feature of Tiantangzhai, and its performance ranks first in Hubei Province in all aspects.

Tianzhu Mountain in Qianshan, Anhui Province: Vivid Spiritual Energy at 30° North Latitude

Everywhere you go, you're greeted by the sound of the autumn breeze, accompanied by the rich charm of the mountain forest, instantly bringing a cool, refreshing feeling. The unique flora in full bloom, and the red maple trees of Tianzhu Mountain are a major attraction of Tianzhu Mountain, but they're not always visible.

Mingtang Mountain in Yuexi, Anhui Province: A Famous Place on the Cliff Plank Road
Mingtang Mountain, located in Yuexi County, Anqing City, derives its name from the "Mingtang" (Mingtang Hall) established for worship during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Fengshan (Ceshan) ceremony at the ancient Nanyue Tianzhu Mountain in 106 BC. Mingtang Mountain is divided into five major scenic areas: the Mingtang Plank Road Scenic Area on the main peak, the Hulu River Scenic Area, the Moon Rock Scenic Area, the Gujing Temple Scenic Area, and the Qingsongling Scenic Area. Mingtang Mountain boasts a rich variety of vegetation, including pine, fir, maple, and oak trees. In late autumn, the mountains are ablaze with crimson, and the leaves turn crimson, creating a breathtaking natural spectacle of vibrant red. Standing amidst this spectacle, the crimson foliage blankets the mountain, creating a dazzling spectacle.
Walking along the thousand-meter-high mountain path, one witnesses a surging sea of clouds, a majestic sea of clouds. The winds of the Mingtang rise and fall, opening and closing with a majestic force. Sometimes, thick clouds roll in, making it impossible to make out one's hand; sometimes, the clouds and mist disperse, revealing a vast expanse of turquoise. The nearly one-kilometer-long path begins at Tianzi Peak. Along the path, pine trees sprout from the cracks of the rock, right beside you, within easy reach. Surrounded by a sea of clouds, one feels like a celestial being. One can even summon the courage to savor the thrill of cliff-top coffee.

Baimajian, Huoshan, Anhui Province - the highest peak in Dabie Mountains
Baimajian, located in Huoshan County, Lu'an City, Anhui Province, stands at 1,774 meters above sea level. It is the main peak of the Dabie Mountains. Its shape resembles a soaring celestial horse, a towering peak (it is the highest peak in the Dabie Mountains) that dominates the surrounding mountains, making them seem smaller than the others. As the saying goes, "To the north lies the White Horse Temple, to the south lies Baimajian." The mountain's clear springs create a symphony of rhythm, while towering ancient trees sway in a vibrant and picturesque scene, preserving its pristine ecology. A leisurely stroll through the mountains, enjoying the sound of gurgling streams, the crisp chirping of birds, the fragrant aroma of flowers, and the rustling of pine trees, is a truly refreshing experience, a true return to nature. When the sky is high and the clouds are light, ascend to the summit and gaze out into the distance, gazing at the surrounding mountains as far as the eye can see.
Baimajian is in the thick of autumn, with its distant mountains and nearby waters ablaze with vibrant colors. As the sun sets, the misty mountains and jungles blaze with crimson and yellow, creating a breathtaking spectacle. Baimajian Scenic Area lacks cable cars or other external transportation options, so reaching the summit requires practically no effort, step by step, relying solely on physical stamina and strong willpower. Therefore, I believe reaching the summit of Baimajian is far more meaningful than conquering other famous mountains and rivers that can be conquered with external forces.
The sea of clouds at Baimajian is also a common sight.
The 1777 building on the top of the mountain is a symbol of reaching the highest peak of Dabie Mountains.

Taohuachong, located in the northeast corner of Yingshan County, Huanggang City, Hubei Province, is a National AAAA-level tourist attraction. Every autumn, the crimson foliage of Taohuachong paints the sky red, creating a vibrant, vibrant foliage that embodies the unique beauty of Yingshan. Deep in the forest, shrouded in mist, the ancient paths offer a tranquil escape. Walking through the woods, one is enveloped in the crimson shadows of the trees and the layers of red that cascade across the mountains, creating a vibrant tapestry of vibrant colors.

The mountains are thick with pine, fir, bamboo, and cotinus, clumps upon clumps, stretching from the foothills to the summit. Spectral views of the forested sea surge, wave after wave, layer upon layer, a breathtaking spectacle.
In autumn, in the Red Maple Valley, each maple tree holds up a big red umbrella, standing tall and straight like a fluttering flag, slender and graceful, like an inextinguishable flame; in the stream, on the ground, and on the treetops, maple leaves are shaped like chicken claws, bright red, colorful like flowers, brilliant like clouds, dyeing the mountains red. Walking in this scene is like entering a painting, and everyone is amazed.

In autumn, white clouds drift around the green mountains, and the sky is as clear and transparent as an inverted sea.

Standing on a rock, overlooking the world at the foot of the mountain, you feel like you are in another world. After the autumn rain, the sea of clouds at Bodao Peak is everywhere. From high above, the layers of clouds in the mountains look like a white dragon, weaving back and forth between the mountains, with clouds rising and falling on the peaks, a dreamlike beauty that seems beyond human reach.
