Encounter the Autumn of Yaoluoping and Discover the Most Beautiful Colors of Western Anhui

⛰️You must visit Yaoluoping in autumn! This place is like a hidden fairyland deep in the Dabie Mountains, the pinnacle of autumn scenery in Western Anhui!
🎨Walking into Yaoluoping is like stepping into a colorful oil painting. The maple leaves all over the hills are fiery red, the ginkgo leaves are dazzling yellow, and the green bamboo and purple wildflowers add splashes of color. Red maples, yellow mountains, green bamboo, and purple flowers create a vibrant palette, like an artist’s casually brushed color board.
🍁I recommend checking in at Hongfeng Valley. Starting from late October, the valley’s maples turn from green to red. Walking on the stone path, with “red umbrellas” overhead and fallen leaves underfoot, it feels like stepping on an orange-red carpet—super romantic.
🚶If you like hiking, be sure to climb the Duozhijian Viewing Platform. At 1,720 meters, it’s the second highest peak in the Dabie Mountains. From the top, you can take in the colorful forest all around. The autumn breeze rustles the leaves, as if nature is playing a beautiful symphony.
🌅At dusk, find an open spot to enjoy the sunset over Yaoluoping. The afterglow of the setting sun bathes the mountains, and the clouds on the horizon turn orange-red, like a spilled palette—breathtakingly beautiful.
