Title: 🍁 National Geographic Certified! Guangwu Mountain's October Red Leaves Are Legendary 📸

In October, Bazhong's Guangwu Mountain brings Sichuan's autumn colors to the top of trending searches🔥. Over 40 species of red-leaf trees take turns dressing up the landscape, with a 500 km² mountain area like a spilled palette of colors. No wonder it’s stamped by China National Geographic as "China's No.1 Red Leaf Mountain"🍂.

📅 Peak Red Leaf Season: Mid-October to Mid-November, avoid weekends for fewer crowds and better views.

🚗 Transportation: Fly to Bazhong Enyang Airport or take the high-speed train to Bazhong West Station, then 1.5 hours directly to the scenic area, no hassle.

📸 Three Major Scenic Spots Quick Guide:

① Guangwu Mountain: Take the Yanziling Cableway for a 10-minute ascent, clouds + red leaves + peaks = aerial photography masterpiece✈️

② Micang Mountain: Walk 2 km on the Heixiong Valley wooden plank trail, streams floating red leaves, every shot is wallpaper-worthy🖼️

③ Shibayue Pool: Pearl Valley connects 18 crescent-shaped pools, red leaves reflecting on water, bridal waterfall full of fairy-like charm💧

🏨 Stay at Enyang Huajiantang · Micangdao, first explore the 1500-year-old Enyang Ancient Town in Song dynasty costume, then soak in a private hot spring to relax. Start early the next day to avoid crowds entering the mountain. Pets are welcome too🐕.

Tips: Book sightseeing bus + cableway combo tickets in advance; bring a windbreaker for 10°C mornings and evenings; carry a telephoto lens for more stunning red leaf layers.

Jiuzhai Valley is for water, Guangwu Mountain is for mountains. Don’t miss this splash of Bazhong red, or wait another year.
