Eastern Sichuan Secret Realm|Autumn at Shibayue Pond is like God's spilled palette! Miss it and wait another year!

Sisters! If autumn had a ceiling, it would definitely be the look of Shibayue Pond! 🍁 Is this a scenic spot? It’s clearly a giant oil painting hand-painted by nature itself! 👉 About the Stunning View “Ponds reflecting each other, red leaves like waterfalls” is not an exaggeration! Eighteen emerald-like ponds are linked among colorful forests. Sunlight filters through golden leaves onto the water surface, sparkling like scattered diamonds! Shooting from Qinggang Bridge, the intertwined reflections of red, yellow, and green are so beautiful they leave you speechless. Every snap on your phone looks like a National Geographic masterpiece! 👉 Exclusive Photo Spots Unlocked ✅ Bridal Waterfall Section (Ponds 1-5): The walkway is flanked by fiery sweetgum trees. Low-angle portrait shots instantly immerse you in a golden fairy tale. ✅ Emerald Corridor (Ponds 9-12): Moss-covered boulders clash vividly with red leaves. Aerial shots here are guaranteed to wow your social circle. ✅ Moonlight Pond Suspension Bridge (Pond 17): At 3 PM when sunlight slants, the shadows on the bridge combined with underwater red leaves create a double-exposure masterpiece. 👉 Exclusive Insider Tips ▪️ Best Time: October 25 - November 15 (Peak red leaves vary with altitude, gradually turning golden from the foot to the summit) ▪️ Hidden Experience: At 6 AM, waiting for the mist to drift over the ponds lets you capture a dreamy “fairyland filter” effect. ▪️ Gear Tips: Non-slip shoes + waterproof shoe covers! Mossy stone paths become slippery with dew, like an ice rink. 💡 Real Experience Notes: ▶️ The park opens at 8 AM; it’s best to be among the first in. After noon, when tour groups arrive, the walkway turns into a “Spring Festival travel rush” scene. ▶️ Bring a self-heating hotpot to picnic under the red leaves for maximum happiness (remember to take your trash with you!) ▶️ Don’t miss the viewing platform on the way down. The sunset bathes the entire valley in rose gold—a moment worth kneeling to watch! 📍 Location: Shibayue Pond, Guangwu Mountain, Bazhong, Sichuan 🚗 Transportation: It’s recommended to drive to the visitor center and transfer to a shuttle bus (prepare mint candies if you get car sick on winding mountain roads) This autumn, you must go crazy for Shibayue Pond! If you’re still wondering where to go after National Day, trust me—there’s still time to book and encounter this 45-day limited visual feast! 🌟
