Here you can see the essence of Guangwushan's scenery. 🔸Da Xiao Lan Gully: The winding clear stream bathes the cobblestones that stand by each other every day, and the red leaves are scattered in the stream, flowing with the waves. This place is exceptionally peaceful and leisurely. 🔸Xianglu Mountain: To have a panoramic view of the entire Guangwushan, there is no better place than Xianglu Mountain. Encounter the sunrise of Xianglu Mountain, overlooking the vast sea of clouds and colorful forest between the mountains. 🔸Shiba Yue Tan: Before you go, you must know: 🚘【Parking】: There are two parking lots in the Shiba Yue Tan scenic area, one is uphill, and the other is downhill. Be sure to park in the uphill one. If you park in the downhill parking lot, it means you will have to climb up the mountain while touring the scenic area, which is very tiring. So do not park in the wrong place 🚘【Shuttle bus】: After parking in the uphill parking lot, you can enjoy the downhill scenery, and after exiting the scenic area, take a shuttle bus for 10💰/seat to return to your parking lot. The shuttle bus is very small, and each bus can only seat about 7 people. So there will be a queue during the peak season, and babies who are in a hurry need to reserve enough time for waiting for the shuttle bus! 🔸Jiaguo Mountain: Suitable for taking photos of the morning mist or sunrise in the early morning, it's truly spectacular. The entrance to the Natural Gallery is just down the mountain from here. . ✔️Travel tip: 1. Clothing guide: Thick coat, hat, sunglasses, warm clothes and pants, scarf, etc. The temperature on the mountain changes a lot, so keep warm. 2. Equipment to carry: Power bank, rain gear, thermos, etc. 3. The price of hotel accommodation in the Guangwushan scenic area during the peak season is around 500-600, it is recommended to purchase accommodation in advance or find a homestay, which is relatively cheaper.

Guangwushan is composed of three separate scenic areas: the Dam area, Taoyuan area, and Shibayuetan area. Shibayuetan is a famous scenic spot in Guangwushan, blessed with unique natural scenery, lush vegetation, crisscrossing streams, and a harmonious blend of mountains and waters, offering breathtaking views that make visitors linger in every season. Within the Shibayuetan Gully, there are 18 waterfall pools that seem divinely crafted, earning it the nickname 'Jiuzhaigou of Northeast Sichuan'. Entering the Shibayuetan scenic area, the first thing that catches the eye is the golden larch forest, as if stepping into a painting. In the deep autumn, besides the larch, the main features of Shibayuetan are the waterfalls, clear pools, red leaves, yellow leaves, and fallen leaves all merging into one, forming a wonderful, vivid, and rustic landscape painting, giving a strong visual impact. The autumn charm here lies not only in the colors but also in the intoxicating waters, with changing views at every step, each pool having its own characteristics, enchanting and intoxicating, 'Yuetan rivals Jiuzhaigou, with unparalleled red leaves', making it an excellent place to appreciate the red leaves in autumn. Recommended Reason The Shibayuetan landscape is famous for its colorful forests and streams, with clear waters and unique rocks, and is renowned for its beautiful scenery. In autumn, the colors are intense, with red leaves reflecting in the pools, making Shibayuetan like a naturally formed oil painting, splendid and colorful. Red Leaf Festival Time: Mid-October to Mid-November About Time and Weather The red leaf landscape is highly seasonal, and during the Red Leaf Festival, especially on weekends, there are many people, so it is best to avoid weekends and choose a sunny day for the best viewing and photography experience. Travel: It takes 2.5h-3h to drive from Guangwushan Town to Shibayuetan scenic area, and about 1.5h from Nanjiang County to the scenic area. You can drive to the parking lot in Shibayuetan, then walk the plank road to play and go up the mountain. There are many bends in the road within the scenic area, so be careful when driving. Play: Private cars can enter the scenic area. There are upper and lower parking lots in the area. It is recommended to park in the upper parking lot, walk the plank road, and then take the shuttle bus (10r/person) from the lower parking lot back to the upper parking lot. This way, the overall journey is downhill, which is relatively easy. Alternatively, you can hike from the lower parking lot to the upper parking lot. · Duration: It takes about 1.5h-2h to walk and play. · Tickets: 55r for adults, 28r for students

❤️We rented a car🚗 and drove up to the top of the mountain (this is much easier than walking up from the bottom of the mountain😁), and strolled down the plank road from the top of the mountain to Shiyue Lake, where you can see large and small pools of water🦦 everywhere. Walking among them, the banks of the stream are golden, the stream flows quietly, sometimes humming and singing, sometimes with high hanging waterfalls, like brocade and satin, the stones in the stream are smooth as jade after being washed by the stream. ❤️The most spectacular is the 🌲wedding dress waterfall, the waterfall flows straight down like a bride's wedding dress, and there are beautiful colorful pools, two streams converge like a couple kissing the couple's pool😉... Deep and quiet, it makes people linger and forget to return🍂❤️This season is suitable for people who like to take pictures📸 to visit, the leaves have changed color, it is really colorful, the pool reflects the beauty, a casual shot is a beautiful scenery. ❤️If you use aerial photography after the rain, the effect should be particularly good😉, unfortunately it did not rain that day🌧️ and did not bring aerial photography equipment. It would be like walking into a fairyland on earth, with clouds and mist, like a paradise.

🍂 In autumn, Guangwushan is full of red leaves like fire, which intoxicates people. The red leaf landscape of 680 square kilometers, more than 40 varieties, more than 20 shapes, a viewing period of up to a month, enjoys the reputation of "China's No.1 Red Leaf Mountain", every late autumn, the mountains are red, the forests are dyed, the scenery is very charming, this must be arranged in October-November. There are three modes of transportation from Chongqing: 🚌Bus: Chongqing (Caiyuanba Bus Station)—Nanjiang (Guangyun Bus Station)—Guangwushan Town 🚄High-speed rail: Chongqing West/North Station—Hanzhong (Hanzhong Passenger Station)—Guangwushan Town 🚙Self-driving: Chongqing (Baguangyu Expressway)—Bazhong (Bashan Expressway)—Qiaoting (Exit of Expressway)—Guangwushan Town ⏰Most beautiful time: 1. In early October, the green fades, a small amount of leaves have begun to change color, and there are fewer tourists at this time; 2. In late October, the leaves have become red and green, colorful, and the forests are dyed; 3. In early November, it has reached the best time to watch red leaves, climb high and look far, the mountains are red! 🍁Route recommendation: Guangwushan has three scenic spots: Daba Scenic Area (Micang Mountain Scenic Area), Guangwushan Scenic Area (Taoyuan Scenic Area) and Shiba Yuetan Scenic Area. It is recommended to buy a set ticket for the scenic area bus, which can directly reach various attractions, which is very convenient. The recommended route is: Natural Gallery→Daba Parking Lot→Xianglu Peak→Micang Mountain. This way you can see as many red leaves as possible, and you won't miss any important attractions. 📸Photography tips: Red leaves are the protagonists of autumn, so be sure to take more photos for commemoration. You can choose to shoot in places with dense red leaves such as the Natural Gallery and Xianglu Peak, and you can also use leaves as the foreground to increase the sense of layering of the picture. In addition, you can choose to shoot in the morning or evening, when the light is softer and suitable for shooting portraits.
