Liaodong, the master of autumn aesthetics, where the forests are dyed in layers of stunning mountain wilderness colors

Every autumn, Liaodong transforms into the "Master of Autumn Color Aesthetics," with forests dyed in layers and mountains ablaze with vibrant colors. After the Double Festival, Anshan enjoys cool breezes, where thousands of peaks and colorful autumn forests create a chiaroscuro landscape, with waves of maple and pine beneath your feet, breathtakingly beautiful. Entering Qingliang Mountain, the maple leaves burn like flames, contrasting beautifully with the green pines and cypresses. The autumn scenery at Longdaowan is lively, with wooden boardwalks passing through reed marshes, blending into the hazy poetry of the dusk skyline. From the starting point of National Highway G331 to the eastern end of the Great Wall, Dandong chases the "maple," with intoxicating autumn charm. Huaboshan Mountain in Dandong attracts countless visitors with its steep terrain and magnificent scenery. Following the Benhuan Expressway to Tianqiaogou Scenic Area, stroll along the wooden boardwalk through the valley known as "China’s most brilliant and reddest maple leaves," where every snapshot looks like a flowing "oil painting." At Huangyishan Volcanic Forest Park, row a boat on Xuanwu Lake, touch the hexagonal columnar basalt, and unlock the unique experience of "boating to admire the maples." The maple scenery in Benxi is enchanting; at Dashihu (Laobian Valley) Scenic Area, red maples stretch like a sea. Walk along the forest boardwalk and chase the fiery red leaves. Self-driving enthusiasts must not miss the "China Maple Leaf Road" (Benhuan Highway), driving through colorful mountains and forests to discover unexpected little joys. Come to Liaodong and experience a season of earthly autumn colors!
