Is Tianqiaogou in Liaoning rated as China's most beautiful maple leaf spot? The real experience revealed!

Here comes Qiaogou! Known as the place with the reddest maple leaves in China🔥 But honestly... the red leaf season arrived too early and wasn't that stunning~ 📍Address: Tianqiaogou Scenic Area, Kuandian Manchu Autonomous County, Dandong City, Liaoning Province 🎫Ticket: ¥150 (varies between peak and off-peak seasons) First, the real experience: 🍁Maple Leaf Rating: ★★★☆ (expectations were set too high) The scenic area was rated by "China Traveler" magazine as "the place with the reddest and most brilliant maple leaves in China," but when I visited, the leaves weren't fully red yet~ Instead, the scenery along the way was more surprising! 🌳Four main highlights: 1️⃣ Plant Kingdom: Transition zone between Changbai Mountain and North China flora 2️⃣ Wild Ginseng Hometown: This is truly a paradise for ginseng💊 3️⃣ Strange Peaks and Rocks: Comparable to a mini Zhangjiajie 4️⃣ Red Historical Site: The Anti-Japanese United Army secret camp site is full of stories 📸Photo tips: ▪️Shooting the forest sea on rainy or overcast days creates more artistic atmosphere (tested and proven) ▪️Choose close-up shots for maple leaf details ▪️Mountain views + mist make for amazing photos 💡Real review: The maple leaves can't quite compare to the wild scenery along the way in Benxi Xiaoshi But if you catch the time when the whole mountain is fully red, it should still be very stunning!!
