Maple leaves turning red, a must-visit landmark

Navigate directly to "Guicheng Scenic Area." As soon as you enter the park, you'll be amazed by the hillside full of redwoods— Sunlight filters through the orange-red branches, falling on the 8-meter-long "Chinese Turtle King" stone back, with even the turtle shell patterns wrapped in warm light✨ Next to it, a group of small turtle sculptures lie on the grassy slope, paired with the redwood reflections on the lake surface, every snapshot feels like "stepping into a fairy tale!" The best part is there are very few people! No need to fight for a spot; sit on the stone steps beside the turtle’s back, feel the breeze carrying the scent of grass and trees, and watch the clouds slowly drift over the distant mountain peaks. The relaxed autumn vibe is fully immersive~ (Secret tip: The former site of the educated youth and the Anti-Japanese Memorial Hall in the scenic area are also full of stories. When tired, you can sunbathe on the benches in the forest!) 📍Location: Huanghuashan National Forest Park, Guicheng Scenic Area, Nan'ao Island 🎫Tickets: Free! Just walk in 🍂Best time to enjoy autumn: Mid-November to early December (peak redwood season) Autumn on Nan'ao Island is not just about the sea, but also the gentle stone turtles and redwoods~
