Come to Honghuayu in Miyun, where the scenery is stunningly beautiful.

Stop crowding Xiangshan! This free red leaf valley in Beijing is truly amazing! Ladies, the best place to visit this autumn is definitely Honghuayu in Miyun! It has free admission, almost no crowds, and the red leaves are blazing! Last weekend, I drove there myself. As the car entered the winding valley, the view was truly breathtaking! The red leaves grow wildly here, with hills covered in smoke trees and maples, glowing fiercely and stunningly beautiful! A "hidden secret" adventure trip The charm lies in its "wildness" and "primitiveness." No commercial streets, no noisy tour groups, just you, the valley, the reservoir, and a whole landscape of burning autumn colors. It feels like I have the entire valley all to myself! Top photo spots (highly recommended to save): By the Honghuayu Reservoir: This is the highlight here! Be sure to take a photo with the calm reservoir in the foreground and the entire burning red mountain range in the background. The blend of water and fire in the composition gives a high-end feel instantly! The winding mountain road: At a curve in the road, have a friend capture your car driving through the red valley. The sense of freedom and cinematic vibe of "rushing into autumn" is unbeatable! Hiking trails in the valley: Find a path covered with fallen red leaves, take a photo of your back walking deeper into the valley, or a moment of picking up leaves. The storytelling and atmosphere come alive instantly! Backlit close-up of red leaves: In the soft afternoon light, find the brightest cluster of red leaves and shoot them backlit. The veins of the leaves are clearly visible, crystal clear, and breathtakingly beautiful.
