Aiwan Pavilion, Changsha | Fall into a Fairy Tale World of Autumn!

Landmark📍: Aiwan Pavilion (Located in Yuelu Mountain Scenic Area, Yuelu District, Changsha, Hunan Province) ⏰ Opening Hours: Year-round 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM 🍁 Best Time to Enjoy Maple Leaves: Mid to Late November "Stopping my carriage, I love the maple forest in the evening; the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers of February"✨ This timeless verse is all about this place! Aiwan Pavilion is definitely Changsha’s most beautiful autumn-only paradise~ Strolling through Yuelu Mountain feels like stepping into the poetic and picturesque scenes described by Tang and Song dynasty poets✨ 🔥 Autumn Leaves Like Fire | Legendary Photo Spot Every November, the maple leaves here start their spectacular show! The glowing red maple leaves🌶️ look like they’ve been sprinkled with chili powder. A casual snap in front of the pavilion📸 can produce a masterpiece straight out of the camera! We recommend wearing a bright-colored trench coat or beige sweater to easily capture the vibe of the Korean drama "Goblin"✅ 🎨 Poetic and Picturesque | Endless Beautiful Photo Angles From inside the pavilion, look afar⛰️ The Xiang River ripples in the distance, while layers of red maple leaves fill the foreground. Sunlight filters through the branches, casting warm hues all around🍂 It’s like a flowing landscape painting! ✨ TOP Photo Guide ✨ 🌅 Morning Maple Leaves (8:00-9:00 AM) Maple leaves in the mist come with a natural soft light filter, breathtakingly beautiful! (PS: This time has the fewest visitors) 🌿 Hidden Route: Take the stone steps beside Aiwan Pavilion upwards Discover a secret maple forest path, less crowded and perfect for photos! 🌇 Sunset Exclusive (around 5:00 PM) Against the setting sun’s glow, the maple leaves are edged in gold✨ Every casual shot in warm tones makes a stunning wallpaper! 💪 Advanced Challenge: Continue climbing to the top of Yuelu Mountain and check in at the mountain’s TV tower🗼 Overlook the whole city and the Xiang River at sunset It really gives off the vibe of Seoul Tower in South Korea!
