As autumn deepens, Qingshan Valley Scenic Area welcomes the best time to enjoy the maple leaves, creating a world like an "autumn fairy tale." The scenic area is located in Kuandian Manchu Autonomous County, Dandong City, Liaoning Province. It is a national-level scenic spot with main attractions including Feipu Stream, Hutang Valley, Chinese Manchu Folk Culture Park, and Qingshan Lake. It is perfect for a two-day weekend getaway, vacation, family outings, or trips with elderly relatives. Strolling through the mountains, the blue sky contrasts with the red maple leaves, while fallen leaves underfoot feel like a soft carpet. From higher vantage points, the mountains are covered with red leaves like clouds and rosy clouds, vividly showcasing the passionate and serene beauty of autumn. On the first day, you can visit the Feipu Stream Scenic Area, home to Liaoning Province’s largest waterfall, the Qingshan Waterfall. The 32-meter-high cliff waterfall cascades straight down, where visitors can take photos, spin around to catch good luck, and even try the zipline. The scenic area also features unique spots like Fairy Pool and historical sites related to the Anti-Japanese United Army, serving as a patriotic education base. On the second day, explore Qingshan Lake and the Chinese Manchu Folk Culture Park, and enjoy the evening performance of "Eight Banners Mountain Water Ballad." Come to Qingshan Valley to encounter this season’s exclusive romance and feel the gentle flow of time.
