Beijing's breathtaking red leaves that make your heart tremble

Too crowded at Xiangshan! This free red leaf valley in Beijing is simply amazing! 😭 Ladies, quickly save this! I've discovered the most worthwhile red leaf spot to visit in Beijing this autumn✨—[Miyun Honghuayu]! Not only is the entrance free, but the best part is that there are almost no people! Few crowds, beautiful scenery, and an incredible experience! 👏 📍 Address: Honghuayu, Shicheng Town, Miyun District, Beijing 🚗 Transportation: Self-driving is recommended (the mountain roads are rugged, so please be careful) 📅 Best viewing period: Late October to early November I was so excited on the drive last weekend! As the car wound through the mountain valley road, I was truly shocked and screamed at the overwhelming red leaves before me! 🔥 The red leaves here look like a spilled palette, wildly expressive and passionately vibrant, stunningly beautiful~ 🍂 A few wild "secrets" of this hidden spot: 1️⃣ All the red leaves here are wild and untrimmed 2️⃣ Rarely visited and undisturbed 3️⃣ Zero commercialization, the atmosphere is pure 📸 Save these 5 legendary photo spots: 1. By the Honghuayu Reservoir 🌊 Capture reflections through the calm water surface, instantly getting an autumn landscape painting! Best light is between 9-10 AM~ 2. The bend on the mountain road 🚗 A perfect shot of "driving through autumn"! Lower your camera to capture the red leaves in the foreground plus the winding road~ 3. The path covered with fallen leaves 🍁 Find a quiet trail, scatter some leaves, and shoot a back view—the atmosphere will be instantly elevated! 4. Close-up of red leaves backlit ✨ Between 3-4 PM, find some small leaves to capture details; using a flash creates a super textured effect! 5. The mountaintop viewing platform 🏔️ Climb high to overlook the entire red valley; every shot here is wallpaper-worthy! Tips: 1. Arrive early! The deeper you go, the fewer people and the better the scenery 2. Bring a windbreaker or jacket to keep warm (the mountain wind is strong) 3. Make sure your phone and camera are fully charged! Every frame is worth capturing well Ladies who see this, save it now! If you miss it, you'll have to wait another year! 🥰
