When popular scenic spots are still crowded, and "poetry and distant places" turn into awkward shoulder-to-shoulder crowds, a thorough "reverse tourism" becomes the key to breaking the dilemma. After the National Day holiday, we drove westward deep into the Taihang Mountains—Fuping, Hebei. Here, there are no noisy tour groups, only wilderness, mountains, and an ultimate autumn feast almost exclusively enjoyed by us. This guide will show you how to truly "take over" this magnificent landscape. 1. Why Fuping after National Day? — 1. Crowds retreat, costs plummet: After the Golden Week ends, the number of tourists drops sharply. What you get is: unobstructed roads, affordable accommodations available anytime, and viewing experiences without the need to fight for spots. Travel expenses (especially lodging and dining) drop by at least 30%-50% compared to the holiday period. 2. Autumn colors at their peak, weather magnificent: Fuping is located deep in the Taihang Mountains with a relatively high altitude, so autumn colors arrive a bit later. From mid-October to early November is the best time to enjoy the red leaves. At this time, the weather is stable, visibility is high, and the forests are richly colored. 3. The true meaning of "reverse": experience first: Here, you are not "visiting attractions," but "touring your own mountains and rivers." No waiting for photos, only the sound of the wind accompanies your stroll. This tranquility and exclusive joy cannot be offered by any popular scenic spot. 2. Real experiences: 1. Self-driving the sky road: the ultimate enjoyment of passing through a corridor of colors • Changchengling (Taihang Mountain Expressway): This itself is a scenic view. Driving fast on the Fuping section of the Taihang Mountain Expressway feels like traveling through a colorful gallery. It is recommended to stop at the viewing platform of the Changchengling service area, which is an excellent high point to overlook the endless autumn mountains. • The winding mountain road to the Tianshengqiao Waterfall Group Scenic Area: The road to the scenic area is a scenic attraction itself. Every turn may encounter a patch of fiery red forest. 2. Climb high and look far: take in the Taihang autumn colors in full view • Tianshengqiao Waterfall Group: This is Fuping’s signature attraction. The water volume may not be large in autumn, but the highlight is the climbing process. Hiking along the trail, colorful valleys appear on both sides. Reaching the top, the view opens up, truly giving a magnificent feeling of "all mountains look small." • Shenxianshan (Damao Mountain): Known as the ancient northern Mount Heng, it has a higher altitude and more vigorous and majestic autumn colors. The hiking route is wilder, suitable for enthusiasts with some physical strength. Standing on the summit, watching the sea of clouds roll over colorful mountains, you will understand the meaning of "taking over." 3. Deep into ancient villages: touch the warmth of autumn • Luotuowan, Gujiatai: These two formerly impoverished villages are now models of poverty alleviation. The newly renovated Taihang-style residences form a harmonious picture with the autumn mountains behind. This is not just a pure scenic spot but a window to understand local customs, where you can taste farmhouse meals and feel the tranquility of mountain living. 3. Real itinerary plan (2 days 1 night, highlights included) Day 1: Arrival and initial exploration • Morning: Depart from Beijing/Shijiazhuang, drive about 3-4 hours via Taihang Mountain Expressway to Fuping. It is recommended to go directly to a guesthouse or farmhouse near the Tianshengqiao Waterfall Group Scenic Area. • Afternoon: Fully explore the Tianshengqiao Waterfall Group (reserve 3-4 hours). Walk slowly, take photos slowly, and feel the tranquility and brilliance of Taihang’s autumn. • Evening: Enjoy authentic Fuping farmhouse dishes at your accommodation, such as cured meat noodles, potstickers, and chicken stewed with mushrooms. Nights in the mountains are cool in autumn, so keep warm. Day 2: In-depth tour and return • Morning: After breakfast, visit Luotuowan and Gujiatai villages. Walk around the villages, see the new rural scenery, and capture the peaceful villages under autumn’s embrace. • Noon: Have lunch in the village or return to the county town for a meal. • Afternoon: Drive back. If time permits, take a detour along Provincial Road 382 (Fuping to Lingshan section). The autumn scenery on this road is just as beautiful as the scenic spots and is a hidden gem for self-driving enthusiasts. Then happily return. 4. Practical tips from experienced travelers (truly helpful details) 1. Transportation is key: Self-driving is the only recommended way. Fuping’s attractions are scattered, and public transportation is very inconvenient. Ensure your vehicle is in good condition; mountain roads are complex, so drive cautiously. 2. Accommodation should be practical: Don’t expect too much from lodging conditions. Clean and cozy farmhouses and guesthouses are the mainstream choice. After the peak season, it’s not tight, but it’s recommended to book by phone 1-2 days in advance. 3. Dressing is crucial: The Taihang Mountains have a large temperature difference between day and night in autumn. The "onion-style" dressing method is a must: quick-dry underwear, warm layers (fleece/thin down), and windproof jackets. A pair of non-slip, durable hiking shoes is essential. 4. Food without pitfalls: Eat plenty of local seasonal mountain produce, such as mushrooms and wild vegetables. Fuping’s jujubes and walnuts are famous nationwide and make great souvenirs. 5. Golden time for photography: The light between 4 pm and 5 pm in autumn is the softest, perfect for shooting photos with translucent autumn leaves and distinct layers. The essence of travel is to rediscover the true nature of traveling—freedom, tranquility, and the joy of discovery. Fuping after National Day is exactly such a perfect destination that fulfills this promise. When you stand alone on the mountain peak, watching the mountains turn red and the forests dyed in layers, you will understand that the "Taihang autumn gamble" is worth it.

On the land where the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan once left his footprints, what kind of unique Great Wall story is hidden here?

Today, I must share with you a hidden gem that is both niche and stunning—the Marble Great Wall! Initially, I only heard about this place by chance. I went there with a "let's try it out" attitude, but I was deeply amazed as soon as I arrived. As soon as you step into the scenic area, the unique Marble Great Wall comes into view. Unlike the common blue brick Great Wall, the wall here is made of red marble, which glows softly in the sunlight. It is like a giant dragon flying and winding between the mountains, with a majestic momentum and a bit of sacred beauty. Walking along the Great Wall, you can almost feel the pulse of history. Each marble seems to be telling a story of the past, either passionate or tragic. Standing on the beacon tower and looking into the distance, you can see the rolling mountains. The distant mountains complement the Marble Great Wall, forming a beautiful picture. There are not many tourists in the scenic area, which makes the whole tour more pleasant. Without the crowded people, you can calm down and slowly appreciate the beauty of the Great Wall and feel the perfect integration of nature and historical sites. When you are tired, take a rest in the viewing pavilion next to it. The breeze is blowing, and your thoughts seem to drift back to the ancient times of war. The Marble Great Wall is really a treasure land. It has both a sense of historical depth and a unique natural landscape. I highly recommend that you take the time to feel its charm. I believe you will not regret it!

✅Time arrangement: If possible, be sure to avoid peak hours. Our time is 5.31-6.1. The 31st is super nice, no need to queue, and the indoor air conditioning is strong. It’s cold even in short sleeves. But when I went there the next day on June 1, there were a lot of people. There were long queues for everything. I went in for a while and then came out. ✅🚗Transportation: More than 228 kilometers from Beijing, arrive in less than 3 hours. ✅Accommodation and tickets🎫: The package I booked includes one night at Kaiyuan Mingting Hotel (very close to the amusement park, a 5-minute walk) and two days of unlimited play ✅Entertainment projects: There are two floors, we went in at 2pm and came out at 5pm, so we only played a few (Xuanshui rafting/bumper cars/watching Nuwa mending the sky/huge waves 🌊 playing with sand on the beach/castle 🏰software) Carousel/roller coaster/bouncing elves/colorful My kids don’t like them very much🤦‍♀️ My favorite is Xuanshui rafting (sitting in a small boat and drifting around 🤪) 🔆Overall: Generally speaking, it is a good choice for traveling around Beijing. There are shopping malls and places to eat within a 10-minute drive around the park, but I personally think it is suitable for babies under six years old

"Later, I told everyone I met that Tangshan is North China's most romantic time-travel destination!

But looking far away, you can see everything within sight for dozens of miles.

I took my family to Tangshan during the National Day holiday. Among the many homestays, we were attracted by this special homestay at the foot of the Yanshan Mountains. The accommodation environment is super good, with a large yard and large rooms, as well as a public activity area. The layout is very reasonable, the bedding is comfortable, which is beyond most homestays. Speaking of service, the service of this homestay is very good, and they try to meet our needs as much as possible, which feels very good. For Tianjin people who often travel to Jixian County, this homestay can definitely become one of the places to visit again.

If the Peach Blossom Spring we just experienced was already full of artistic conception, then the time-space tunnel before us now is even more superior. The time-space tunnel at Ye Kou of Qian'an Mountain is also quite famous, and it is a major feature of the Ye Kou scenic area. From a distance, I stood on a big rock looking at the time-space tunnel in front of me, which served as a record before I entered the tunnel. When I actually walked into this time-space tunnel, the scenery before my eyes was dazzling. It was filled with sunflowers🌻, which of course were also just decorations, but that was already enough. Walking under the beautiful sunflowers, every step made me feel the presence of beauty, because sunflowers represent beauty. These clusters of sunflowers formed this beautiful time-space tunnel and continuously attracted tourists to the Ye Kou scenic area🌻. After passing through that section of the time-space tunnel, there is a pink railing staircase where you can check in. Then there is also a heart-shaped floral wreath above that is very pretty, but after checking in, you still have to come down because there is no road ahead. After coming down, I saw a small low bridge and checked in while passing over it. After crossing the bridge, there is a pavilion with something written about a stream, and I need to lift my foot to reach the sign above. This pavilion is quite tall, huh😁

I might have stumbled upon another Shangri-La at the Yekou scenic area. When I was there, I discovered a place covered with dense purple flowers both above and below. This is the entrance to the forest rafting. I was having so much fun checking in outside until I played to my heart's content here before continuing forward. Above, I found another nice rock landscape. There are also many rocks of various shapes here. Besides these rocks, there's also a huge horn on this side. I squatted on the bench and struck a pose as if blowing the horn. Although it won't really sound, it's all about the spirit 😁 Descending from the horn, I was immediately faced with many landscapes of the Yekou scenic area, all gathered together. There's the Welcoming Pine (although to me, it looks just like an ordinary pine tree 😓), but the words 'Welcoming Pine' are written there, so I had to check in. Opposite the Welcoming Pine is the famous Flounder Stone of the Yekou scenic area. There are many oddly shaped stones here, but to say one looks like a fish is quite impressive. And then there's this Wishing Tree, ah, full of golden yellow leaves and those wishing ribbons. Standing under this Wishing Tree, how could I miss such a great opportunity? I definitely had to make a good wish 😁

After continuing to climb, there will always be new discoveries; life is about constant exploration. After a brief rest on a large rock, having eaten a bit and replenished my energy while looking at the sun ahead ☀️, I knew it was time to set off again. The direction after climbing up took me by surprise; there was a person whose attire I couldn't discern, but it was clear that she was a woman. However, she had no head, and I wondered if it was deliberately done by the scenic area. Moreover, on top of this woman's head seemed to be a decoration like a phoenix crown, which made her identity even more intriguing 🧐. Curiosity aside, I then came to a wooden roller with a blue exterior. I had never played with it before, so I didn't know how to use it. I fell as soon as I stood on it and after repeatedly falling, I decided not to stand and just sat down to play, which was quite enjoyable and I didn't have to worry about falling 🙇. Then a couple came by; they seemed to know how to play, running on it. Watching them was really fun, and I got my fill of watching them play, but I couldn't play myself 🙇. Later, they played something similar to a roller coaster, which required one person to operate it from below while the other sat on top, and then the vehicle started moving. It circled in the air several times before coming down, and it was very fast. I couldn't play it alone, but watching them play was quite joyful 😁. I had so many fun moments at Mountain Ye Kou 😁. At this place called Wolong Pine, there was an old man playing the zither. I don't know his name, but sitting on this zither chair was really comfortable 😊. At that moment, I became his audience; otherwise, it would have been very lonely for him to play the zither alone here 🤓. There was also a butterfly 🦋 swing spot. I was afraid to sit there initially, but when I got closer, I realized the swing was fixed and wouldn't fly up, so I wasn't scared anymore 🤓. I confidently sat on it, checked in, and then continued forward. After going up, I found a rock with 'No Climbing' written on it. This rock was clearly made up of countless small stones stuck together. How could I not check in at such a beautiful stone? 😁. Standing on it, I was actually trembling with fear of heights, but seeing the photos I took, it felt very worthwhile 😁.
