To ensure that you can enjoy the world of red leaves, it is recommended that you make travel arrangements in advance.

This small road passes through Yuxu Palace and is a free route that leads directly to the top of Pofengling. Along this hiking route, you can enjoy the beautiful red and yellow leaves and feel the beauty of nature. The whole journey is about 10 kilometers, with an elevation gain of 500 meters. The road conditions are good and suitable for hiking enthusiasts. Avoiding traffic jams: To avoid traffic jams between the city and the scenic area, it is recommended that you choose the right time to travel. In early November, it is recommended to leave the city before 7 am so that you can reach Pofengling before 10 am and make full use of your time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. At the same time, to avoid missing the best viewing time, it is recommended that you return before 4 pm.
