Oh my god... Fushun Kuangzigou is so beautiful it makes you cry!

This autumn, stop squeezing into crowded maple viewing spots! I highly recommend my private hidden gem—Fushun Kuangzigou‼️

The maple leaves here are as red as if God spilled a palette of colors 🎨 Few people, free entry, and super photogenic—it's truly a blessing for niche travel lovers✨

📍【How to get there】
Search "Fushun Kuangzigou Scenic Area" on navigation (not the core scenic area)
About a 1.5-hour drive from Shenyang 🚗
It’s best to drive directly to the end of the small road to avoid 90% of the tourists

🍁【Highlights】
👉 Super healing chameleon forest:
Maple mixed with oak and ginkgo, colorful like an oil painting 🖼️
Absolutely stunning when sunlight slants in early morning or late afternoon!
Every snap is wallpaper-worthy 📸

👉 Secret atmosphere maxed out:
Almost exclusive use of the whole valley on weekdays 🏞️
You can only hear the rustling of fallen leaves and the tinkling of the stream
A surprise bonus is spotting squirrels 🐿️

👉 Three top photo spots:
1️⃣ Abandoned railway section (deep inside the scenic area)
Sunlight shining through red leaves onto the tracks, full Japanese vibe 💯
2️⃣ Small wooden bridge over the stream
Wearing white and standing in the light and shadow, like a fairy descending 🧚‍♀️
3️⃣ Winding wooden plank path
Every step is a different red leaf backdrop, beautiful no matter how you shoot!

🎯【Trip TIPS】
⏰ Best viewing period:
Mid-October to early November (recommend following local maple leaf updates)

🕒 Recommended times:
Weekdays or before 10 AM on weekends
After 3 PM the light is softest

👗 Outfit suggestions:
White/cream colors are most photogenic
Remember to bring a jacket, big temperature difference in the forest

🍱 Must-bring items:
Non-slip shoes! Picnic mat! Hot water and snacks!
There are no commercial facilities in the scenic area~

Friends, seize this autumn and just go for it! Such a beautiful and uncrowded maple viewing secret spot is rare 🍂
