Going to Changbai Mountain in autumn is the only way not to waste the colors of the year

Who says only the winter snow of Changbai Mountain is worth rushing for? When autumn arrives, it’s as if God’s palette has been spilled here, pouring the richest autumn hues all over the forests. Walking up from the foot of the mountain feels like entering a flowing feast of colors. The maple leaves at the base turn bright red first, clusters and patches of fiery, vibrant red that sway like dancing flames in the wind, and you can catch the falling "little maple leaves" with your hand. Going further up, the trees along the boardwalk gradually change their attire; some still hold onto summer’s green, while others have already turned golden. Sunlight filters through the branches, casting a sparkling path on the wooden walkway that creaks underfoot, full of autumn’s ceremonial feeling. If you’re lucky to catch a sunny day, the blue sky makes these colors even more vivid. Red maples, golden birches, and green pines intersperse, looking from afar like a richly colored oil painting. A casual snapshot needs no editing to become a wallpaper. When tired, sit on the viewing platform to rest, watch the clouds and mist slowly drift through the mountains, listen to the rustling of leaves in the wind, and even your breath carries the fresh scent of grass and trees. Don’t always think about the snow of Changbai Mountain; autumn here is even more romantic. Without the crowds of peak season, only the full mountain of colors accompanies you. Whether chasing autumn with friends or enjoying this tranquility alone, you can leave all your worries in this forest. This autumn, go to Changbai Mountain and let the red and gold covering the hills give you the most unforgettable encounter. Changbai Mountain · Jilin
