The autumn colors of southern Anhui are so beautiful they'll make your heart sing! This is a dreamy autumn trip recommended by National Geographic.

When the green bricks and black tiles meet the autumn colors of the forest, the autumn in southern Anhui is like a palette overturned by God. The wujiu and maple leaves change between green, yellow, and red, with distinct layers, which are breathtakingly beautiful. In the hazy morning mist, every step is full of poetry and painting, and it is worthy of the reputation of "ancient village in the painting". National Geographic also rated it as one of the "four major autumn colors in China". In order not to miss this beautiful autumn scenery, I have prepared a two-day and one-night autumn tour guide for you, come and take a look! DAY 1: Hongcun - Tachuan - Lucun (all located in the same scenic area), stay in Hongcun Tachuan: Located in Yixian Taohuayuan, in autumn, the leaves of the mountains are colorful, from yellow, light red to red, rich in layers, and beautiful. Tachuan is as famous as Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan, Kanas in Xinjiang, and Xiangshan in Beijing. It is known as one of the four most beautiful autumn colors in China. Lucun: The sunrise in Lucun in the early morning is the most Chinese ancient painting style I have ever seen. The pink walls and black tiles of the Huizhou ancient houses are stacked and well-arranged. At sunrise, it seems to step into an ancient landscape painting. Hongcun: Hongcun is open for free every Wednesday. Huizhou-style buildings are lined up, the reflections on the water by the moon marsh and the bridge at the entrance of the village are excellent shooting locations in Hongcun. DAY 2: Lucun Sunrise - Xixi South Ancient Village - Yangchan Tulou - Return Xixi South Ancient Village: There are more than 10 Ming Dynasty buildings and more than 100 Qing Dynasty houses in Xixi South Scenic Area. It is an ancient village with a history of 1,200 years. In autumn, the persimmon trees in the ancient village and the horse head wall complement each other, forming a beautiful blank scroll. Yangchan Tulou: The stacked earth buildings are built on the mountain, with a spectacular view. It is open for free and there are no traces of excessive commercialization. In autumn, the vegetation on the mountain changes color significantly, and the villagers' autumn drying scene also has a unique flavor. If time permits, it is recommended to stay on the mountain for one night, and you can also watch the magnificent view of the sunrise and the sea of clouds. Best time to enjoy autumn: From mid-to-late October to mid-November each year, the wujiu tree changes color, the rice fields are golden, and it is the best time to enjoy autumn.
