The ultimate autumn viewing routes in golden October revealed! This is the top-tier autumn experience in China!

Stop crowding Huangshan and the Ginkgo Avenue! What truly drives photographers crazy are these 6 top autumn secret spots quietly collected by National Geographic— colorful forests, snowy mountains, lakes, Danxia landforms, and coastlines all in one place, each frame looks like it was torn from a magazine cover! Now is the perfect time to set off, miss it and you'll have to wait another year🍁 --- 🌄【Xinjiang · Kanas】September to early October The "God’s backyard" lives up to its name! Golden white birch and fiery red larch surround the emerald lake, morning mist rises over Hemu Village, smoke curls from chimneys, from Guanyutai you see endless mountains dyed in layers of autumn colors, it’s like a fairy tale come to life. 🍁【Inner Mongolia · Arxan】Mid-September to October A "Mushroom Grandpa Road" runs through grasslands and forest seas, mist swirls over the unfrozen river, reflections like paintings, free wild scenic spots are even more beautiful than the official parks, every snap looks like a Nordic masterpiece! 🌲【Heilongjiang · Yichun】Mid-September to October "China’s northernmost forest oxygen bar," a palette of colors spilled across the mountains: red pine green, white birch gold, walking on forest trails, leaves rustle underfoot, the sky above is deep blue. 🐚【Shandong · Yantai】October to early November Penglai shrouded in fairy mist, Changdao’s blue is unreal, Yangma Island’s coastal road glows golden at sunset, and the best part: seafood so rich it’s bursting! King crab for just 50 RMB per person, unbeatable value! ❄️【Jilin · Changbai Mountain】Late September to October Heaven Lake awakens in autumn colors, blue as a mirror, reflecting snowy mountains and colorful forests, soaking in hot springs while red leaves fall on your shoulders, the unique "prelude to ice and snow" in Northeast China, romantically breathtaking. 🏜️【Gansu · Zhangye】October The colorful Danxia meets the autumn sunset, rock layers cascade like a rainbow over the land, Pingshanhu Grand Canyon vast and magnificent, one second and you’re in a Western movie set! This autumn, don’t just stay among the fallen leaves in the city. Pack your bags and chase the wild wind, the light on the mountaintop, the reflections in the lake, let your eyes and soul be struck by nature all at once.
