The Russian-translated name carries ancient charm, Guokui Mountain in autumn intoxicates Yabuli

Stepping into the autumn of Yabuli Guokui Mountain, you finally understand that the poetic meaning of "Yaburoni" (Russian for "apple orchard") is not an exaggeration. This secret realm, once a hunting ground for Qing dynasty nobles, is now being aged by time into the richest wine, with every breeze carrying the warmth of millennia-old black soil and the sweet aroma of maple syrup. The mountain shaped like an upside-down iron pot lid, Guokui Peak, is covered with forests that have shed their lush greenery, dyed by autumn frost into a splendid dress of caramel and orange-red, as if a painter accidentally spilled a palette of rich colors on the western slope of Zhang Guangcai Ridge. Wooden houses stand quietly by the lake, their reflections sinking into the clear water. When the wind passes, the shimmering waves scatter golden light across the lake, harmonizing with fallen leaves near the Neolithic site in a charming scene. From the aerial view, the winding mountain road looks like a golden thread stitching together the forest sea, lakes, and misty clouds into a giant painting. The clouds gently gather at the mountain top, resembling cotton candy fallen into the maple forest, softening the mountain’s outline. Climbing step by step, the fallen leaves rustle underfoot, as if telling the stories of this land—the steam whistle of the Chinese Eastern Railway once passed through these woods, and the footprints of Anti-Japanese guerrilla fighters were once imprinted on these mountains. The air is filled with the scent of pine needles and sunlight; a deep breath is sweet and refreshing, like falling into a honey jar fairy tale. Occasionally, a red maple leaf brushes past your shoulder, carrying the poetic meaning of "frost leaves redder than February flowers," making you stop and let the autumn colors cling to your clothes and shoes. As dusk deepens, return to the Yabuli Warm Residence Villa. Opening the window, you can see the Milky Way hanging over the wilds, and hear the chirping of insects in the forest. Shedding the fatigue of daytime hiking, you savor the mountain’s spiritual beauty and ancient charm in the quiet. This land, bearing historical marks and natural splendor, is worth every traveler’s journey. If you want to immerse yourself in autumn romance, Yabuli Warm Residence Villa is an excellent choice for rest, allowing you to embrace tranquility surrounded by mountains and waters, continuing your autumn love story with Guokui Mountain.
