November 16, 2025, Guangyuan Tangjiahe

🍂 Stole a whole weekend day and crashed into the grand autumn of Tangjiahe! 📍 Navigation: Tangjiahe Nature Reserve (Qingchuan County, Sichuan) 🎫 Group purchase super value ticket: Admission + sightseeing bus + red leaf special line = 87.5 RMB/person (cheaper than buying on site! Remember to order in advance) 🚗 About 2.5–3 hours from Mianyang When we went, a section of the G5 Jingkun Expressway was closed, so we got off at Gaocun. The following 28 kilometers were all potholes and rough roads, bumping for a whole hour... but! On the return trip, we took National Highways 543 + 247, passing through quiet mountain villages with few cars and people, the hills and forests dyed in layers of color, like driving into a moving oil painting, which turned out to be an unexpected surprise✨ 🌿 As soon as you enter Tangjiahe, you are amazed by the water here— Jade green and clear enough to see the stones at the bottom, the mountains and forests reflected in it, as if the world has been saturated with color, every shot is wallpaper-level autumn scenery! 🍁 Because it coincides with Sichuan’s "Autumn Holiday," there are slightly more tourists, but it does not affect the immersive experience at all. The scenic area is huge and requires taking 3 shuttle buses (about 2 hours in total) to reach the core colorful forest area. Actually, the whole way is full of scenery! Unfortunately, as a national nature reserve, to protect the ecology, the shuttle buses cannot stop at will—otherwise, you would really want to get off anytime and walk slowly along the forest trails all day. 🐾 Surprises along the way: 🐒 Wild monkeys jumping on the cliff edge 🐂 Takin slowly crossing the road 🦌 And a fleeting glimpse of a musk deer (or a fawn?) 🐦 Various bird songs echoing through the valley... Nature is truly generous! ⚠️ Important reminder: 📶 No cell phone signal throughout the deep scenic area! 📌 Good news: The scenic area is building a viewing trail! Next time, be sure to leave enough time to measure this secret place with your own feet, watch slowly, listen quietly, and breathe deeply. 🎒 Travel Tips: ✅ It is recommended to depart before 7 AM to avoid crowds and allow buffer for road conditions ✅ For the return trip, prioritize National Highways 543 + 247, the scenery is stunning and there are fewer cars ✅ Wear non-slip hiking shoes and bring a jacket (big temperature difference in the mountains) ✅ Bring your own snacks & water, supplies are limited inside the area ✅ Please do not feed wild animals; quietly appreciating them is the true respect
