The Golden Silk Gorge Autumn Red Leaf Peak Season Begins

October is the transition month when the red leaves in Golden Silk Gorge start to change color and gradually reach their peak. The temperature drops and the large temperature difference between day and night creates perfect conditions for the leaves to change color. This time offers a comfortable travel experience and is a great opportunity to avoid peak crowds. In late October, the color index reaches Level III (peak color period), with over 60% of the leaves changing color, painting the forest in vibrant hues and creating a stunning visual impact. From mid to late November, the red leaves reach their peak (Level III) to late color period (Level IV), marking the annual color climax. The temperature inside the gorge is 3-5°C lower than in the city, with significant temperature differences between morning and evening, so it is recommended to wear warm clothing and non-slip hiking shoes. The soft light in the early morning and afternoon is perfect for photography. Come to Golden Silk Gorge and experience nature’s romantic gift!
