The pinnacle of autumn colors is here

Hidden in Fenglin Valley in the southern part of Huanren Manchu Autonomous County, eastern Liaoning, it is a national 4A-level tourist attraction and the brightest card of Benxi, known as the "Maple Leaf Capital of China." This secret realm, located on the foothills of Changbai Mountain, boasts a forest coverage rate of 98.75%. Within its 2,583 hectares of forest lie many surprises—national first-class protected plants like Huanren ginseng and yew take root here, while wild vegetables such as spiny dragon buds and large-leaf celery grow abundantly under the forest canopy, making it a natural plant gene bank. As the recognized "Kingdom of Maple Leaves," Fenglin Valley’s autumn is especially captivating. After the autumn frost, the maple leaves gradually change colors along the trajectory of green, yellow, orange, red, and purple, spreading from the foot of the mountain to the summit into a sea of colors. Climbing to the top of Red Maple Peak offers a panoramic view of the mountains dyed red, contrasting with the deep blue sky. At sunset, the evening glow gilds the maple leaves with golden edges, fully displaying the poetic imagery of "purple and red peaks as if painted." The best viewing period is from late September to mid-October, and during the peak red season, every snapshot in the valley is wallpaper-worthy. In summer, Fenglin Valley is a natural summer resort. The average temperature here is only about 20°C, with humidity around 65%. The concentration of negative oxygen ions in the air can reach tens of thousands per cubic centimeter, filling every deep breath with freshness. Under the dense shade, streams meander, sometimes forming waterfalls and sometimes pooling into clear ponds. The water is pure and drinkable, with wild aquatic life such as river fish and forest frogs thriving freely. Diverse landforms including cliffs, gorges, and gentle slopes intertwine with streams and forests, creating a richly layered natural landscape. Beyond natural scenery, the area also has profound cultural heritage. Ecological culture, forest culture, red culture, and maple leaf culture blend together, complemented by unique experiences like aerial plank roads and forest trains, allowing visitors to stroll among the red leaves and immerse themselves in the collision of nature and culture. Whether chasing autumn maples, escaping summer heat, or enjoying forest wellness, this "most suitable place to breathe" will never disappoint.
