Wuzhou Garden in Banan

Although Wuzhou Garden is famous for its maple in spring, the red maple grows in autumn and now it is the best viewing period. It's convenient for us to go to Wuzhou Garden.

Huangshui Town in Shizhu

The autumn of Huangshui came very early. At the beginning of October, the mountains of Dafengbao began to change color. The forest in Huangshui is almost autumn, refreshing and elegant, as if it is within reach; if it is late autumn, the forest is full of colors, like a fairy tale world. Pyracatha fortuneana in Qianye Pasture also attracts the majority. The mountain is covered by the red if it matures.

Jinfo Mountain in Nanchuan

Jinfo Mountain is located at 30 degrees north latitude near. Due to the altitude of over 2,000 meters, the climate here changes vertically, which seems to give life to red maples. As time goes on, the colored-leaf tree turns colors full of the mountain. It is the most beautiful autumn scenery at that moment in Jinfo Mountain. On the one level, there are numerous red maples like flags flying; on the other level, there are golden jungles as if it is made of harvested fruits.

Black Valley in Wansheng

Although the red maples in Black Valley are a few and its distribution is scattered, it looks more beautiful dotted with green leaves in the deeper valley. With the red, yellow and green leaves, Black Valley seems to be covered by a large Bohemian blanket where you can take amazing photos with various poses anywhere.

Daba Mountain, Chengkou

The saying, “a falling leaf is the herald of autumn”, can properly describe the deeper situation of Daba Mountain. Here the autumn is gentle and brilliant due to high mountains and countless plants. When it is late autumn, the trees in Daba Mountain turn colors with a romantic feeling. In the primitive forest, a total of 4,000 species of plants are in a perpetual beauty, as if everything is separated from the world outside.

Longgang in Yunyang

Yunyang Longgang, the nature’s creation, is known as the last Shangri-La of the Three Gorges by many travelers. For the high mountain and cold weather, the red maples come earlier. Although there are steep mountains and dense bushes, it shows the beauty and grace when the leaves turn red from green.
