🗺️ Play Route Guide:

✔️ Morning: Natural Gallery

This is where Guangwushan's "red carpet" is located! The 700-meter autumn foliage boardwalk offers a new view with every step. The autumn leaves are all yellow now 📷 Any casual shot looks like a blockbuster. The drop-off point is the best photo spot, with tall, straight trees forming a natural frame. Stepping on the thick fallen leaves, the rustling sound is like nature's symphony. It's breathtakingly beautiful here on a sunny day~

✔️ Afternoon: Xianglushan, Heixionggou

Take the cable car up the mountain, traversing through a high-altitude sea of snow and rime ice wonders. The sea of clouds on the mountaintop, alongside the red leaves, offers a panoramic view of the colorful forests, so magnificent it leaves one speechless. The best time for photos is in the afternoon; as the mist dissipates, sunlight sprinkles on the red leaves, creating incredibly distinct color layers. From Xianglushan, you'll descend to Heixionggou, a 2.1km downhill boardwalk where most beautiful photos are born – don't miss it!

💡 Small tips for your visit:

✔️ Clothing: Check the weather in advance! Guangwushan is very cold, so you'll need a thick coat now. Light-colored clothes stand out wonderfully against the red foliage background.

✔️ Photo Spots: Xianglushan observation deck for panoramic views, Natural Gallery for capturing details, Heixionggou for photos of flowing water and red leaves.

✔️ Don't go up Xianglushan on rainy or foggy days; the fog is too thick to see anything.
