The ultimate autumn family outing! Guangwu Mountain’s red leaves unlock a fairy-tale autumn scene for kids

Compared to the peak of autumn, I love this orange, yellow, and green family time even more🍂 Colorful leaves fill the camera lens, and the kids happily chase falling leaves📷 Touted by National Geographic as the “Number One Red Leaf Mountain,” it lives up to its name Walking into the mountain, you’re surrounded by intense colors, like stepping into an autumn fairy tale Kids marvel at nature’s wonders, fully immersed in exploration and totally satisfied~ 📍About the attraction: Guangwu Mountain Scenic Area is divided into Guangwu Mountain, Micang Mountain, and Shibayue Pool Micang Mountain is a popular red leaf area, very family-friendly with gentle trails Guangwu Mountain and Micang Mountain are 8 km apart, perfect for a half-day trip Shibayue Pool’s red leaves turn late, ideal to visit before November, with soothing babbling streams If time is tight, prioritize Micang Mountain for an easy, stress-free autumn outing with kids 🚖About transportation 🚗 Self-driving: About 4-6 hours from Chengdu/Xi’an; bring kids’ favorite snacks for the car ride 🚄 High-speed train + charter/bus: Take the high-speed train to Hanzhong Station or Bazhong East Station, then transfer to a tourist shuttle or charter (about 1.5-2 hours) to avoid tiring the kids with long travel 🗺️Family-friendly itinerary: ✔️ Micang Mountain: Visitor Center ➠ Bus 🚌 ➠ Xianglu Mountain (take the cable car, so kids don’t get tired) ➠ Black Bear Valley (flat walk, see streams and red leaves) ➠ Natural Gallery (photo spots) ➠ Langou Bridge (collect fallen leaves for crafts) ✔️ Shibayue Pool: Walk down the canyon without backtracking, then take a ride back, making it easy and stress-free for kids 📅2-day family trip plan: D1: Hanzhong Station → Shibayue Pool (catch small fish by the stream, collect red leaves) → Stay overnight in Nanjiang County D2: Nanjiang County → Micang Mountain Forest Park (take the cable car for panoramic views) → Hanzhong Station 🏡Accommodation tips: Recommended “Guangwu Mountain Celebrity Hotel” in Nanjiang County, fully equipped for families and close to the scenic area, convenient for next-day travel.
