When someone says Ningbo is a "tourism desert", he must not have really appreciated Siming Mountain‼ ️ Siming Mountain has different beauty in each season, especially during November to December every year, when the vegetation and trees on the hills gradually turn from green to yellow and red, with golden ginkgo, orange-brown fir trees, bright red maple leaves... Starting from Shanghai, it takes less than 3️⃣ hours to drive to Yuyao. Heading south, I share my favorite autumn and winter scenery along the 150-kilometer road from Huxi Line to Heliang Line. No need to hike or take tickets, you can easily drive there⬇️ 🧡The Metasequoia forest in Siming Lake begins to change color at the end of November every year. When the weather is good, the lake is as blue as the sea. 💚Siming Mountain Observation Deck, I was initially attracted by the hairpin bend of Siming Mountain. This is a good location for aerial photography, and there are many small reservoirs around it. ❤️Nakamura, a very lively village, the stream is very clean and clear, the most unforgettable thing is that there are several bright red maple trees by the lake 💛Zifeng Village, there are two conjoined thousand-year-old brother ginkgo trees hidden in the ancient village, with fallen leaves scattered all over the ground, very romantic 🧡Maowu Village, in autumn and winter, the hills are a colorful scene, driving on the mountain road is like walking into an oil painting 🌈Tingxia Lake became famous because of a "lonely tree". This year, there are many more pink daisy trees around it. Try not to park your car on the roadside on weekend afternoons, as you may get ticketed. 💛Wenchang Pavilion, free view outside the Chiang's former residence, an ancient bridge outside the Wenchang Pavilion, the perfect embellishment of the ginkgo tree, very three-dimensional against the backdrop of the lake 🩷Xiejieshan Village, a new discovery during this trip to Siming Mountain! Located near Yantou Village, it is still undeveloped and very quiet. You can book a place to take pictures of the autumn scenery.

As soon as autumn arrives in Siming Mountain, it becomes a paradise. Walking on the road is like being in an oil painting, with red maple, ginkgo, persimmon, and osmanthus, the forest is dyed, it is really beautiful to the heart. 🦋 The scenery of this route is very good, it is the first choice for autumn hiking in autumn. The mountains are surrounded by dazzling red maples and rich and passionate money pines.

#fallingforfall Autumn is always my favourite season; staying in China doesn’t offer a long Autumn period with the lack of seasons. Ningbo’s scenery is filled with the oranges and reds necessary to make it feel like Autumn. Simingshan in Yuyao has many routes through the forests and mountains that can be explored. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can do all of these areas over one day/weekend. #tripblazers #mountainview #nationalpark #urbanexplorer

A ticket here cost 50RMB for the 5 areas of the park (see map photo) we managed to see 2 areas of the park. The first part we went to was Siming Lake, walking around here is relaxing and took us around 1 hour. We then took a 1 hour walk north to the higher area, starting at 6944 restaurant and leading to the waterfalls. This is a 40 minute walk from start to end on a jagged rock path. Be prepared. The nature is wonderful, could easily make a day of the trip and see more areas. All the areas are within walking distance to each other. Take food with you as there aren’t many places to buy except for the main ticket entrance (our first stop). #mapletrees #hiking #nationalpark ##scenicspotguide #travelinspiration #momentsmission
