Hongye Valley Introduction
The best time to visit Hongye Valley is from late October to mid-November. Recently, many citizens choose to drive to the southern mountains every weekend. The most popular one is the Hongye Valley Scenic Area. The wild cotinus coggygria and five-pointed maple decorate the scenic area with colorful colors, attracting a large number of citizens and tourists.
Stepping into Hongye Valley is like stepping into a colorful fairytale kingdom, where you can truly appreciate the beauty of “Frost leaves redder than February flowers”. Nature has overturned the palette, sprinkling a touch of red, yellow, orange, and green on the mountain. The scenic area has a wide variety of plant species, including cotinus coggygria, pine cypress, red maple, wisteria, and more than 400 other species, totaling over a million.
Jiurushan in the southern mountainous area is holding a red maple festival, where red leaves and landscapes complement each other, with pavilions and towers, leisurely and comfortable.
Colorful forests, clear lakes, babbling mountain springs, romantic wooden houses, 360° stunning autumn scenery, how many have you seen? That’s what Jiurushan is like in autumn!
The swaying maple leaves, with their intricate colors, are no less stunning than the spring flowers. A gust of autumn wind blows, the maple leaves rustle, whispering the deep affection of autumn!
Jinxian Mountain is also covered with red and green, with colorful colors. The winding mountain road is full of fallen leaves, making a rustling sound when stepped on. The wind gently blows, the autumn leaves sway on the trees, and as you wander through the mountains, you can hear the whispers of autumn!
Zhangqiu’s Colorful Mountain Village is also a beautiful autumn scene with red and green intertwined. The entire mountain ridge next to Zhangqiu Duozhuang Reservoir is covered with red leaves, with occasional two or three yellow and green small trees scattered among them. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking out at the rolling mountains and the blue waves at the foot of the mountain, the scenery is breathtakingly beautiful.
Laizhou Xiangshan Scenic Area is just right for admiring autumn. Ancient villages are scattered among the mountains, mountain springs flow day and night. In addition to red leaves, there are also bright red persimmons hanging high on the branches, full of autumn poetry. Moreover, it is not easy to get stuck in traffic during the holiday, making it an excellent choice for weekend trips.
In addition, besides admiring red leaves, you can also admire ginkgo biloba in autumn. Thousands of acres of ginkgo biloba “clad in gold” on the banks of the Yellow River, winding for dozens of miles. Looking from afar, it looks like a yellow ribbon.
Lingyan Temple’s 1600-year-old ginkgo tree, Tangdou Temple’s 1400-year-old ginkgo tree, and Wufeng Mountain’s 2600-year-old ginkgo king, one tree makes a grand scene, shedding leaves like gold, beautiful beyond words, making it a good place to check in during autumn outings.
