When the mountains are covered with red leaves, the autumn visual feast of Chongqing Wushan is unfolding!

In late autumn, the earth gradually turns into autumn colors.

Since November, the rolling mountains on both sides of Wu Gorge in Chongqing have gradually shed their green coats and put on colorful outfits, and the red leaves have gradually turned red. The cotinus coggygria, Chinese tallow tree, lacquer tree, maple tree and other trees on the land of Bayu turn the entire city into a colorful picture.

More than 400 years ago, Ming Dynasty poet Lu Qian once went rafting in Wu Gorge. He wrote the lines "The clouds are white over the flying gorge, and the shadows of the trees are red over the river", which describes the unique beauty of the red leaves in the Three Gorges. Today, the autumn leaves add a unique landscape to the city, colorful and brilliant like clouds.

Wushan in Chongqing has a unique topography and landforms. The area above 1,100 meters above sea level is surrounded by high mountains and canyons. Due to the unique mountain climate, the red leaves begin to turn red from mid-October every year, and the viewing period lasts for about 3 months. There are nearly 200 varieties such as Cotinus coggygria, Tung oilseed oil tree, and Acer rubrum, with a total area of ​​more than 1.2 million mu, of which 200,000 mu are concentrated in areas for viewing. At present, the red leaves in areas above 1,000 meters above sea level have gradually turned red, which is the best time to appreciate the red leaves. The red leaves all over the mountains and fields are as red as fire, blooming in groups, covering the canyons and gullies, as if they are a burning flame.

The beautiful red leaves in Wushan are breathtaking and intoxicating. In mid-November, the red leaves make the Lanying Grand Canyon even more charming and beautiful. The red decorations spread across the mountains, making you feel relaxed and happy, and you can only respond to the enthusiasm of the red color all over the mountains with the sound of your heartbeat.

When you climb to a high place and look into the distance, you will see towering mountains shrouded in mist, revealing a hint of dark red, as if it is a solemn and elegant Chinese painting for people to appreciate. On the other side of the stream, the towering cliffs are looming in the mist, while the red leaves and characteristic buildings nearby complement each other, making people feel like they are in a painting.

You can also take a boat tour of the Little Three Gorges, admire the red maples, and experience a different kind of customs.

The "hundred-mile red carpet" on Wu Gorge has been rolled out, come and check in and leave behind beautiful memories!
