Not here to admire the autumn colors, but to make autumn remember you

In the hidden valleys of Chongli
I stumbled into the most splendid autumn fairy tale in the north

🍁 Autumn check-in guide for Sitai Zui Township:

▫️ Huapiling Secret Realm
Golden hues stretch to the horizon
Crunching fallen leaves underfoot
Light spots filtering through the birch forest gaps
The gentlest filter of autumn

▪️ Great Wall Ruins Nostalgia
Ming Dynasty ruins framed with colorful mountain forests
From the beacon tower, gaze at the dyed forests
Faintly hear the echoes of history

▫️ Windmill Road Tour
Silver-white windmills stand on golden meadows
Slowly drive along the winding mountain road
Every turn brings a surprise

📸 Photo hotspots:
✅ Backlit birch forest shots (best at 16:00)
✅ Running shots under the windmills
✅ Interactions with rural dirt roads and haystacks
✅ Silhouettes at the Great Wall ruins

🚗 Travel suggestions:
1-day tour: Depart Beijing early morning → Huapiling → Windmill Road → Great Wall ruins
2-day tour: Stay at Taihang homestay + sunrise sea of clouds + wild fruit picking

👒 Outfit guide:
Beige trench coat + camel scarf
Hold a bunch of roadside reeds
Perfectly blend with the autumn colors
