Asia's largest red leaf scenic area is in this province, but not many people know about it

Ah! The autumn in Guangwushan is simply stunning to the point of being unfair!!✨ Asia's largest red leaf area is no exaggeration, with 680 square kilometers of red leaf forest that looks like God spilled his paint palette 🎨 💫 Why is this the ultimate autumn viewing spot? ▪️ A red leaf forest half the size of Beijing! Number 1 in all of Asia❗️ ▪️ 30 days of peak season 📅 From mid-October to mid-November for great shots ▪️ Red, orange, yellow, green gradient—every snap is wallpaper-worthy📸 ▪️ Super convenient transportation! 6 hours from Chengdu / 4.5 hours from Xi’an, accessible by high-speed train + bus🚌 🔥 Three must-visit scenic spots (remember to buy tickets separately!) 📍 Micang Mountain National Forest Park (Nanjiang County, Bazhong City) ⏰ 8:00-18:00 💸 Tickets 90 + sightseeing bus 60 + cable car 150 (combo tickets are more cost-effective!) ✨ Must-do routes: ✅ Natural Gallery - a real-life oil painting corridor! The moment sunlight pierces through the colorful forest is breathtaking😭 ✅ Black Bear Valley - creek and red leaves create maximum romance 💯 Photo rate on the bridge is 200%! ✅ Xianglu Mountain Cableway - overlook the sea of red mountains ⛰️ and encounter stunning clouds ☁️ 🚶‍♀️ Recommended to spend a whole day! Sightseeing bus in → photo at the gallery → stroll Black Bear Valley → cable car to the top 📍 Guangwushan Tourist Scenic Area (Taoyuan Scenic Area) ⏰ 8:00-18:00 💸 Peak season 108 (includes sightseeing bus) ▪️ Karst landforms + red leaves give a martial arts movie vibe! ▪️ Sandao Pass / Qinv Peak are perfect for photos and check-ins ⚠️ Lots of hiking, not recommended for those with low stamina 📍 Shibayue Pool (Nanjiang County) ⏰ 8:00-17:30 💸 55 + sightseeing bus 10 ▪️ 18 emerald pools hidden in the red leaf valley 💎 ▪️ All downhill! Ideal for lazy visitors or families with kids 👶 ▪️ 1 hour drive from Micang Mountain, best to plan half a day separately 📅 Best viewing period: Now!! Late October to mid-November 🍁 Three stunning stages: colorful foliage → forest dyed in layers → thousands of leaves fluttering red! 💌 Tips: 1️⃣ Big temperature difference between morning and evening, remember to bring a thick jacket 2️⃣ Wear light or warm-colored clothes for better photos 3️⃣ Buy cable car tickets early, it often stops running in the afternoon 4️⃣ Drones require prior registration This autumn scenery is totally worth the ticket price!! Quickly save this and rush over 🏃‍♀️
