Beijing locals would never tell you! Secret 0-cost red leaf spot revealed

Look here! 👀 I’ve discovered the most beautiful red leaves in Beijing this year! It’s not Xiangshan! No entrance fee! Few people, beautiful scenery! This hidden fairyland in Miyun, Honghuayu, is truly amazing😭 📍Address: 3 km northwest of Hongxing Village, Miyun District, Beijing 🚗 Transportation suggestion: Best to drive, just navigate to "Honghuayu" ⏰ Best season: Mid-October to early November I was stunned by the beauty even before reaching the scenic area! 🚗 Driving up the winding mountain road, the hillsides on both sides are dyed the color of fiery clouds by the red leaves, like entering a fairy tale world! The red leaves here grow wildly, much more beautiful than those carefully cultivated ones! 🌋 Several super plus points: ✅ Completely free! 0-cost check-in is awesome ✅ So few people you won’t believe this is a Beijing attraction ✅ Gentle roads, friendly for hiking ✅ Suitable for the whole family to enjoy My private photo guide: 1️⃣ 【Honghuayu Reservoir】Must-check-in spot🌊 You must shoot the S-shaped bend by the reservoir! The water reflecting the red leaves is stunning! Recommend bringing a light gauzy dress~ 2️⃣ 【Mountain Road】Cinematic vibe showdown The old trees with red leaves at the turns are super photogenic! Have a friend shoot you walking on the path from above on the slope 🎬 3️⃣ 【Hiking Trail】Feels like a DMV scene Find a leaf-covered path to shoot your back, backlit for a great atmosphere~ Best to shoot at 9 AM and 4 PM 4️⃣ 【Red Leaf Details】Instant social media hit Be sure to capture close-ups of the leaf veins! For something more unique, bring small props: 🍁 maple leaf specimen frame, transparent umbrella Tips: ✔️ Best to wear white/cream-colored clothes ✔️ Bring picnic mats and snacks ✔️ Better to visit on weekdays for fewer people ✔️ Don’t miss the iron pot stew at nearby farmhouses! Hurry and check it out while the red leaves are at their peak! Miss it and wait another year! ✨
