Unlock the most stunning autumn scenery in China at Arxan

✅ At the Chinese border, there is a tranquil place where, in autumn, golden birch trees cover the mountains and plains. Here, roe deer roam through the forests and occasionally stroll across the open fields; there are lakes shrouded in morning mist, with golden birch trees faintly visible through the fog, creating a fairyland-like scene; there is an ever-flowing river that never freezes, where even in the depths of winter, you can see herds of cattle and sheep gathering by the steaming river; and there is the serene and majestic Tianchi Lake, which never dries up in droughts nor overflows in heavy rains. Watching the sunset gradually disappear over the mountains gives a sense of serene beauty - this is Arxan National Forest Park. ✅ Start your journey from Arxan Railway Station with a hearty meal of mutton hotpot. Compared to the magnificent autumn scenery in western Sichuan, the autumn colors here are gentle and lingering. Driving along the national highway, even during the National Day holiday, the roads remain wide and clear, with little traffic, making it easy to stop and take photos at any time. ✅ After about half an hour of driving on the national highway, you officially enter Arxan National Forest Park and reach the first stop of your journey: the Unfrozen River. The phenomenon of the Unfrozen River is due to the presence of abundant geothermal heat in the area. In autumn, the Unfrozen River is especially beautiful at sunset. The golden afterglow of the sunset shines on the golden trees, reflecting the deep blue, gem-like lake water, creating a vivid palette of colors. Follow the path down to the riverbank and take a photo capturing the beauty of the sunset, river, and autumn forest. Around five in the morning, set off for Wusulangzi Lake. ✅ After about twenty minutes of driving through the forest, you will see the most beautiful yet "mysterious" scenery in Arxan National Forest Park - Wusulangzi Lake. The lake is beautiful and fragrant with grass, rich in fish, and an important economic resource for the surrounding villagers. It is known as the "Little Jiangnan of the Greater Khingan Mountains." In autumn, the morning mist gradually rises over the lake, blending with the faintly visible autumn forest in the distance. If there happens to be a fisherman working at this time, the silhouette in the mist creates a world-class scene - a perfect blend of fisherman, morning mist, lake, and autumn forest, a harmony between nature and humanity. ✅ After bidding farewell to Wusulangzi Lake, take a bus to the most magnificent spot in Arxan - the Tianchi Lake at Tuofengling. Surrounded by verdant mountains, the deep blue lake water is refreshing, crystal clear, calm, and clean. The surrounding mountains rise and fall, shaded by trees, as if weaving a simple and elegant garland for Tianchi Lake at Tuofengling. ✅ Descending from Tianchi Lake, you will pass through a grand canyon. The canyon walls are made of black boulders, forming a magnificent "artistic structure." Among the black stones, if you look carefully, you can see little "elves" darting about. These are the pika, a species that has lived here for generations, adding a touch of fun to the travelers' journey. ✅ This is the unparalleled beauty from the northeastern border of the motherland, Arxan, which has been rated by National Geographic as having the most beautiful autumn colors in China. If you have a passion for photography, a love for nature, and a pursuit of beauty, make sure to reserve an autumn in your life for the Greater Khingan Mountains, and let the brief yet splendid autumn colors of Arxan become a cherished memory for a lifetime.
