November is the best time to see the red leaves in the deep autumn. For the mountain city of Chongqing, it is also the time for its own season. Chongqing’s autumn is very beautiful. There are many places to see red leaves in Chongqing, which are very popular among tourists. Here is a route strategy for the best places to see red leaves in Chongqing. Let’s feel the charm of autumn together.

Dabashan

Every autumn, Chengkou, located in the heart of the Dabashan Mountains, becomes a natural palette. Looking up, it is like a series of colorful “rainbow bridges”, which are very beautiful.

Colorful autumn leaves spread over the peaks of the Dabashan Mountains, with red, yellow, purple, green… The colorful leaves are a poem given to Chengkou by autumn.

The Dabashan Mountains, covered with colorful leaves, are like a fairyland under the misty clouds.

While admiring the colorful leaves all over the mountain, tourists can also visit the Luohongxi Slow Time Station, the Socialist Core Values Street, and the Folk Culture Display Belt in Lantian Township.

Chongqing’s small “Zhangjiajie”

Located in the eastern part of Chengkou County, Chongqing, the Kanggu Scenic Area is in the heart of the Dabashan Mountains. The forest coverage area reaches 90%. The canyon is deep and the peaks are beautiful. It is known as “Little Zhangjiajie”.

The negative oxygen ion content here is extremely high. It is cool in summer and snowy in winter. Apart from the distance, I think this place is not inferior to Wulong Fairy Mountain.

Although it is a little far from the main city of Chongqing, the beautiful scenery is worth a visit!

This is a truly beautiful and unspoiled place. You can truly experience the primitive scenery of the Dabashan Mountains.

Moreover, there are continuous springs and birds singing in the canyon. Sometimes it is open and flat, and sometimes it is deep and narrow. Going upstream, you can see the Wild Man Creek, Qinglong Canyon, Canyon Rafting, Micai Waterfall, Monkey Cave Bay and other characteristic natural landscapes.

Huanganba

Huanganba during this season is definitely overlooked by many people. Because people only remember its summer for summer resort and winter for snow, they forget that the autumn scenery of Huanganba is as beautiful as an oil painting.

Huanganba is one of the most concentrated places to see colorful leaves in Chengkou. From the county seat to Huanganba, you can stop to admire the colorful leaves by the roadside at any time. Walking into any mountain gorge is a paradise for photography enthusiasts.

Chengkou, which has not been heavily developed, will reveal its primitive natural beauty when you come. The autumn is thick. Looking from afar, on the top of the Dabashan Mountains surrounded by clouds and mist, it seems like a huge “heavenly pasture”, looming, beautiful!

Walking among them, it’s like entering a colorful fairy tale world. If you are a photography enthusiast, you can hike through this primitive grassland, which has a bit of the feeling of the vast grassland.
