Around Chengdu!! A seriously underrated small town for autumn viewing!! (With travel guide)

No need to go to Western Sichuan, you can also see stunning colorful forests at Longtoushan in Hanzhong. A 6-minute cable car + 180-meter cloud ladder, slowly ascending on the cloud ladder, the surrounding scenery unfolds like a painting, every shot looks like a masterpiece, an autumn fairyland that even the elderly and children can easily reach the top of! As a "lazy person" who climbs mountains only a few times a year, today at Longtoushan in Hanzhong I completely realized the dream of "painless mountain climbing"! Departing from Chengdu, it takes only 2.5 hours by high-speed train 🚄, truly the "back garden" for autumn scenery in the Sichuan-Chongqing area~ 🍁 Autumn colorful forest, as beautiful as an oil painting At the end of October, Longtoushan is like a palette spilled by God, colorful and vibrant, the forest dyed in layers, every photo looks great~ Strolling on the 3.5-kilometer skywalk feels like walking among clouds and colorful forests. The skywalk stretches across cliffs at an altitude of 2200 meters. Looking around, red, orange, yellow, and green colors intertwine like a colorful ink painting. On good weather days, this is also the best spot to watch the sunset~ Must-photograph spots: Oil painting forest, colorful forest trail — hidden in the Micang Ancient Road between Sichuan and Shaanxi, few people and beautiful scenery, the stunning photos that go viral on social media are born here! Sunlight filters through the colorful leaves onto the stone steps, every step feels like stepping on golden fragments. ☁️ Sea of clouds wonderland, must-see after rain Longtoushan is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. If it rains the day before, the sea of clouds appears very frequently the next day. I was super lucky this time to witness the sea of clouds and colorful forest together!
