When you come to Xinduqiao, I highly recommend driving along this highway. The autumn scenery along the way is truly legendary! Besides the well-known "Ten-Mile Gallery," continuing towards Tagong is also absolutely stunning. The hillsides on both sides are covered with colorful forests, not just yellow trees, but also red, orange, and green ones... A creek flows at the foot of the hills, it’s like a fairy tale!

📍: G248 (Xinduqiao ➠ Tagong Grassland)  
🌟【Travel/Photo Tips】  
✔️ This is a national highway and the main road locally, with many vehicles, especially large trucks. Tourists must not park on the road. There are many spacious parking spots built along the way. Also, don’t stand in the middle of the road to take photos, it’s really dangerous.  
✔️ The "Ten-Mile Gallery" is a stretch of several kilometers with tall trees on both sides. The leaves are currently about 80% colored, and the sunlight shining through is truly golden. No need to crowd for photos; you can keep driving forward, find a parking lot, park your car, then walk to the grassy area under the trees to take pictures. This way is safer and allows you to get close to the big trees.  
✔️ After the "Ten-Mile Gallery," you’ll see colorful forested hillsides and a creek. You can find a parking lot and walk to the creekside for photos. This spot is truly breathtaking.  
✔️ After Tagong Grassland, you can continue driving to Gunong Village. The village under the snow-capped mountains is definitely worth visiting. Bring camping gear and food to wait for the sunset on the grassland.
