Sisters! The red leaves at Pofengling have gone wild! Even if God spilled the paint palette, it wouldn’t be this crazy!

I was truly shocked by Beijing’s autumn masterpiece! 🍁 Last week I rushed to Pofengling in Fangshan, where the mountains are covered in a mix of red and yellow leaves, like fiery clouds falling into the valley! No filter needed, every snap on my phone looks like a blockbuster! 📍【Location】Huangshandian Village, Zhoukoudian Town, Fangshan District, Beijing (about 1.5 hours drive from downtown) 🎫【Tickets】Adults 30 RMB, students/seniors 15 RMB (so reasonable!) 🕐【Time】Recommended 3-4 hours, perfect for hiking + photography~ 🔥【My Hiking Route】 Scenic area entrance → Cloud Stone House (super photogenic popular homestay!) → Rose Pavilion → Layered Forest Viewing Platform (amazing mid-mountain views!) → Eagle Beak Rock (climb to the top to overlook the sea of red leaves!) Walking at a relaxed pace with stops for photos, it takes about 2 hours to reach the top. The stone steps are very friendly, even beginners can handle it! 📸【Photo Hotspots】 1️⃣ Rose Pavilion: Shoot panoramic views halfway up the mountain + stone houses surrounded by red leaves, like a fairy tale town! 2️⃣ Layered Forest Viewing Platform: Where red, yellow, and green meet, check in with the “Discover China Red” frame for an epic shot! 3️⃣ Eagle Beak Rock: Unbeatable summit views, layers of red leaves, blue sky, and distant mountains—so stunning it leaves you speechless! 💡【Helpful Tips】 ✅ Best time: Mid-October to early November (perfect to go now!) ✅ Wear non-slip shoes! Some steps are steep, safety first~ ✅ There are farmhouses at the foot of the mountain, a bowl of handmade noodles costs 10 RMB, warm and comforting! ✅ Try to go on weekdays, weekends are a bit crowded. Enter before 9 AM for the best experience! This trip is totally worth it! The exhilaration after sweating on the hike + the visual feast healed by nature instantly makes you forget the grind! 🍂 Autumn’s exclusive romance, tag your buddy and rush there together! ✨ Follow me to unlock more hidden autumn gems!
