Attention Changsha residents! A hidden trail on Yuelu Mountain is full of autumn "treasures" waiting to be picked up, but don’t go too late

As the autumn breeze arrives, Changsha’s "limited edition perks" are here! Stop squeezing into the crowded Aiwan Pavilion and let me quietly share one of my secret spots for collecting autumn treasures—a quiet trail on the back mountain of Yuelu Mountain.

🍁 The fallen leaves of sweetgum and Japanese maple here are thick like a carpet, perfect for picking the most intact red leaves to use as bookmarks.
🍯 If you're lucky, you might also find fallen chestnuts and Chinese sour jujubes, full of nature’s gifts! (But be careful to identify them properly and don’t eat randomly.)
📷 The best part is fewer people and beautiful scenery; every snap looks like a “mine alone” forest masterpiece, and your friends will be bombarding you for the location in no time.

I’ve posted the route map in the comments. The weather is perfect this weekend, so quickly invite your friends to pick some uniquely Changsha romantic autumn treasures! Like and save this, or you’ll have to wait another year!
