"The longest red carpet in Asia" and "the hometown of red leaves" are its nicknames!

Late October to mid-November is the best time to see the red leaves in Guangwu Mountain! The colors reach their peak, and if you miss it, you'll have to wait another year! About transportation (departing from Chengdu): √ High-speed train + shuttle: Chengdu → Bazhong East Station (high-speed train about 2.5h), then transfer to the scenic area shuttle √ Bazhong East Station shuttle: two departures at 10:30 and 12:30, no worries if you miss the early one √ Self-driving: about 5 hours from Chengdu, it is recommended to leave a day early, stay in Nanjiang County, and go directly to the scenic area the next day. About the travel route guide: √ Morning: Natural Gallery · Guangwu Mountain’s "red leaf carpet" is here! A 700m plank road surrounded by red leaves, every step a new scene. It is now completely yellow!! Every photo you take looks like a masterpiece. · The drop-off point is the best shooting spot, with tall, straight trees forming a natural frame. Walking on the thick fallen leaves makes a rustling sound. Imagine how beautiful it is on a sunny day~ √ Afternoon: Xianglu Mountain, Heixiong Valley · Take the cable car up the mountain, passing through the high-altitude snow sea and frost-covered trees wonderland. · The sea of clouds at the summit frames the red leaves, overlooking the colorful forest covering the mountain, a magnificent view. · It is recommended to shoot in the afternoon when the fog clears and sunlight shines on the red leaves, making the colors more distinct. · After descending Xianglu Mountain, you reach Heixiong Valley, a 2.1km downhill plank road walk. Most of the photos in the pictures are taken here. Don’t miss it!! Some travel tips: √ Clothing: Check the weather in advance!! It’s very cold on Guangwu Mountain now, so wear a thick coat. Light-colored clothes look better in photos, especially striking against the red background. √ Photo spots: Xianglu Mountain viewing platform for panoramic views, Natural Gallery for details, Heixiong Valley for flowing water and red leaves. √ If it’s rainy or foggy, don’t go up Xianglu Mountain; the fog is very thick on the mountain. Guangwu Mountain’s red leaves cover an area of 680 square kilometers and have been certified by "Chinese National Geography" as "China’s number one red leaf mountain."
