#Shaoguan Autumn Scenery Arrives Where is autumn hidden in Guangdong? Shaoguan, of course! Here you'll find golden ginkgo leaves, fiery red maple leaves, pink muhly grass fields, and heartwarming Hakka cuisine. You can experience the romance of autumn in just 3 days, and every snapshot is a masterpiece of atmosphere! 🍂 Must-Do List: Unlock Limited-Edition Autumn Color Schemes Top-Tier Autumn Viewing Spots - Maozifeng Forest Farm: Guangdong's "Golden Fairy Tale Town" is unparalleled! Mid-November to early December is the best time to visit. The "Golden Avenue" is carpeted with ginkgo leaves, rustling softly underfoot. Don't just squeeze onto the main road; head towards the "Little Jiuzhaigou of Lingnan"—less crowded and more tranquil, with ginkgo leaves reflected in the stream like scattered gold. Staying in the scenic area's tent campsite is incredibly romantic; imagine cooking a bowl of hot noodles under the ginkgo trees in the morning—so therapeutic! - Danxia Mountain: Danxia Mountain in autumn is breathtakingly beautiful! At sunrise, the "Red Cliffs" are dyed orange-red, creating a stunning contrast with the golden vegetation on the mountains. We recommend visiting the Elder Peak sunrise viewing platform and stopping by the geological wonders, the "Yin Yuan Stone" and "Yang Yuan Stone." In the evening, watch the sunset at Xianglong Lake, where the shimmering water appears edged with gold. - Lingnan Red Leaf World: 80,000 red maple trees hold a "Hobbit magic"! After November, the maple leaves gradually unfold from orange-red to deep red. The small maple-covered area next to the slide is perfect for portrait photography. If you stay in a stargazing tent, unzipping it in the morning reveals a breathtaking view of clouds drifting over the red maple leaves, and at night you can see the stars twinkling. Off-the-beaten-path photo opportunities - Cherry Blossom Park Pink Muhly Grass Sea: Who says autumn is only golden? From mid-October to mid-November, this place hides a pink dream! Hundreds of acres of pink muhly grass sway in the wind; wearing a white dress and standing on the slope for a photo shoot is incredibly gentle. The 1-yuan mugwort cakes sold by the old lady at the entrance are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, a perfect match for the sea of ​​flowers! - Shixing County Road 344: The free "most beautiful rural road"! After November, the bald cypress trees turn orange-red, sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled patterns, and you can smell the fragrance of the leaves even with the car windows open. Bring a vintage bicycle as a prop, and take stunning photos of the road's expansive feel on the curves—you'll definitely have a unique post on social media. - Pingtan Ancient Village: Avoid the crowded Aobei Village, and try Dengbanwei Village. The ancient ginkgo trees against the backdrop of Hakka old houses create a picturesque scene, perfect for sitting on the doorstep. The 500-year-old jujube tree was even a filming location. Don't forget to try a bowl of ginkgo chicken soup made by the villagers—it's incredibly delicious! Healing and Relaxing: - Nanhua Temple: This thousand-year-old temple holds the Zen spirit of autumn.

The decor is modern and clean, with stunning mountain views right outside the window. - Zhongshan Park: A hidden gem in the city!

Best Time to Visit: Mid to late November is the best time to go! Pink muhly grass, ginkgo leaves, and red leaves are all in bloom at the same time. If you miss it, you'll have to wait another year. If you go at the end of October, the ginkgo leaves might not even be yellow yet. 2. Transportation Tips: Driving is the most convenient option! Mountain village roads are narrow, so remember to travel on a sunny day. Accommodation within the Maozifeng Scenic Area allows for easy access by car, saving you a lot of walking. 3. Clothing Guide: Temperature differences are significant in the mountains! Wear a sweatshirt during the day and a light down jacket at night. Comfortable sneakers will make climbing Danxia Mountain and exploring ancient villages much easier. 4. Ticket Guide: It's recommended to buy a package ticket for Danxia Mountain. For Maozifeng, check the leaf yellowing status in advance to avoid a wasted trip. Autumn in Shaoguan is so healing: enjoy mugwort cakes under ginkgo trees in the morning, chase the red leaves and sea of ​​clouds in the afternoon, savor roast goose while watching the sunset in the evening, and soak in a warm hot spring late at night. With this guide in hand, let's go! "Let's go to Shaoguan for an autumn rendezvous!" 😉
