A Letter from Qinba in Autumn, Red Leaves Deliver a Free Ticket Note

Autumn in the Qinba Mountains is hidden in the gradually dyed layered forests of Liping. On October 15th, the red leaf season gently begins✨, and the free ticket invitation on the 18th and 19th is an autumn surprise gifted by nature — you only need to purchase the sightseeing bus fare to step into this moving landscape painting🎨 At this moment in Liping, 65% of the red leaves have quietly turned color🍁, and there is an 80% chance to encounter a sea of clouds☁️, which lays a hazy background for the mountains and forests. By October 25th, green, yellow, orange, and red will spread stepwise along the mountain slopes, turning the 1000-2000 meter peaks into a natural painter’s palette. This brilliance will continue from late autumn until late November. Riding the sightseeing bus through the valley, every stop is a gift of time. Along the 8-kilometer creek at Hongchen Gorge, the maple and birch trees are like intoxicated verses, fallen leaves form a golden corridor🍂, rustling underfoot as if autumn is whispering; the 450-million-year-old rock layers of Zhonghua Longshan, dressed in red, resemble the scales of a giant dragon🐉, flowing with the weight of time in the light and shadow; when the maple forest waterfall cascades down, mist and sunlight weave a rainbow🌈, framed by red leaves, becoming the most lively focal point of the scene~ If you want to capture this poetic moment, consider wearing a simple Hanfu. When white robes brush past red maples, or a round fan gently hides a smile, people and scenery become a classical romance of “red leaves as paper”📸. The dappled sunlight filtering through the branches adds a gentle filter to every frame. Travel Tips⚠️: Mountain weather is changeable, extreme weather may cause temporary park closure; the full tour takes 4-6 hours, ticket checking stops after 4 PM, if entering after 3 PM, you can register at the visitor center and continue your autumn visit the next day with your ID; the temperature difference between day and night brings chill, so a windbreaker or light down jacket is a must🧥, and pets are currently not allowed in the scenic area. When the autumn wind blows through the canyon, Liping’s red leaves are ready with stories. The free ticket invitation on the 18th and 19th awaits your romantic encounter with the Qinba mountains and waters💫. Source: Liping Scenic Area
