Anyone going to Guangwushan, Bazhong at the end of this month?
Actually, the best time to see the red leaves on Guangwushan is from October 20 to mid-November each year. If it doesn't rain in October and it's sunny every day, the leaves will turn red earlier. If it rains a lot and it's cloudy, it will be later.

Jiuzhai for water~ Guangwu for mountains~
Anyone who misses the red leaves of Guangwu Mountain will make me cry OK. If Jiuzhai is for water, then for mountains, you must come to Guangwu! One night of wind in Bashan, the leaves reflect the sky red; the color is more vivid than peach blossoms, and autumn is as rich as spring.
October in Guangwu Mountain is the time of orange, yellow, and green. From the foot of the mountain to the top, here is a red tree, there is a cluster of yellow, layer upon layer, deep and shallow, shadowy.
The beauty of the red leaves composed of hundreds of trees such as beech, ginkgo, maple, larch, yellow birch, yellow oak, and tallow tree, spread over nearly a thousand square kilometers of mountains in Guangwu Mountain, is indescribable.
When autumn comes, the red is charming and enchanting, making people's hearts drunk.

Bazhong Guangwu Mountain: A Cool Summer Mountain Biking Trip
The summer sunlight filters through the treetops, casting dappled shadows on the winding mountain road. Riding my small-wheeled bike, I weave through the lush greenery of Bazhong Guangwu Mountain. Here, the summer temperature seems to be tempered by the freshness of the forest, maintaining a comfortable 20°C, making it an ideal escape from the city's heat.
Guangwu Mountain is located in Nanjiang County, Bazhong City, Sichuan Province. It is a tourist destination that combines natural beauty with fresh air. I chose to explore this place by bike because it allows me to get closer to nature and appreciate every detail of the mountains and forests.
Before setting off, I made thorough preparations. I checked the tires and brakes of my bike to ensure everything was in order. With a backpack containing water, simple tools, and some snacks, I began this journey.
Riding along the mountain paths, I was surrounded by rolling hills and lush trees. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows that were truly refreshing. Occasionally, a mountain breeze would blow, bringing a coolness that made me forget the summer heat.
The summer in Guangwu Mountain is not only pleasantly cool but also incredibly scenic. Along the way, I passed clear streams with babbling water, and the sound of the water brought a sense of tranquility. Occasionally, I would see small animals leaping through the forest, adding a touch of vitality.
While biking through the mountains, I would sometimes speed up and sometimes slow down, enjoying the refreshing mountain breeze on my face. At each scenic spot, I would stop and take out my camera to capture the beautiful moments. Peaks, clouds, and green trees formed picturesque scenes.
Around noon, I took a short break under the shade of a tree, enjoying the snacks I brought. The tranquility and fresh air of the mountains made me feel joyful, as if all my worries had been left behind.
As the sun slowly set, I concluded this unforgettable biking trip. Although I was a bit tired, I felt more satisfied and happy. The summer in Guangwu Mountain not only provided me with physical exercise but also a spiritual cleansing.
This trip allowed me to deeply experience the joy of biking through the mountains and forests, and made me cherish and appreciate the beauty of nature even more. Bazhong Guangwu Mountain is a great summer retreat and a haven for the soul.
In the summer of Guangwu Mountain, I found a sense of tranquility and coolness. Whether you are an outdoor sports enthusiast or a traveler seeking mental relaxation, this is a place worth visiting. I hope my experience will inspire more people to explore nature and enjoy life.

Guangwu Mountain in Sichuan is like a meticulously arranged cool early autumn painting
Guangwu Mountain in Sichuan, at this moment, is like a meticulously arranged cool early autumn painting. Every scene is just right, neither overly flamboyant nor lacking in its lively beauty. It invites every guest in a gentle and profound way to step into this pure land, to feel the tranquility and coolness beyond the mundane world, allowing the soul to receive the purest baptism and sublimation in the embrace of nature.
The unique ridge peak landforms, primitive ecological vegetation, charming waterfalls and pools, beautiful canyon scenery, and the unique cultures of the ancient Ba people, Micang Ancient Road, and the Three Kingdoms culture all shine together. In spring, enjoy the azaleas; in summer, embrace the coolness; in autumn, appreciate the red leaves; and in winter, admire the rime. It can be said that there are beautiful scenes in all four seasons.
The ecological environment is diverse, with a high forest coverage rate and extremely good air quality. The average content of negative oxygen ions in the air exceeds 30,000 per cubic centimeter, and the annual average temperature is 16.2℃. Therefore, it is called the "biological gene bank and natural oxygen bar".
On this magical land, karst peaks stand tall like giants. Some are steep and towering, while others are gentle and continuous, weaving together with the changing seasons of the forest to create breathtaking pictures. Especially when the clouds gently caress the mountains, Guangwu Mountain transforms into a dreamy existence, with light veils dancing, appearing and disappearing, evoking endless imagination, as if stepping into a celestial palace, forgetting the troubles of the world.
In addition to appreciating the natural beauty of the mountains and waters, the historical traces are equally profound and vivid. The scenery of Guangwu Mountain is not only beautiful in form but also has a soul, making it a treasure trove of literature and history. Historically, Zhang Lu stationed at Hanwangtai, Zhuge Liang prepared horses at Muyang City, Zhang Fei camped at Luoqishan, the White-Haired Witch conquered the Bashu Four Heroes at Basu Pass, and the base camp of the "Northern Sichuan Militia" guerrilla team was here. These left behind magnificent poems that can be sung and wept, adding another scenic line to the Guangwu Mountain scenic area. Visitors can appreciate the natural scenery while traversing the corridor of time and space, listening to the whispers of ancient legends, and feeling the cultural charm that has settled over the years.
In short, this dazzling pearl embedded in Nanjiang County, Bazhong City, Sichuan Province, stands proudly in the world with its unparalleled natural scenery and profound cultural heritage. It is not only a geographical wonder but also a sanctuary for the soul. Every scene is like a meticulously carved artwork, making people feel as if they have stepped into a flowing fairyland scroll.

Guangwu Mountain Hiking Travel Guide
🔵August is too hot in Chengdu, so let's go to a cooler place.
In summer, I recommend going to Guangwu Mountain, which is in Bazhong. This place is a great summer resort. It's very comfortable to bring children here ❤️.
It takes 5 to 6 hours to drive from Chengdu, or you can take a high-speed train to Bazhong, which only takes more than two hours, which is very convenient.
Moreover, the accommodation here is also very cheap at night. If you have enough time, you can stay for a few more days.
🌑On the first day of arriving in Bazhong, we went to Guangwu Mountain Town. From this point of view, driving is more convenient. I don't think it's necessary to buy a cable car ticket to go up the mountain. Let's go hiking and exercise with the children. Adult tickets are 75, and student tickets are 35.
However, the sightseeing bus ticket is still necessary, 35 yuan.
This is a national 5A-level scenic spot! It is also known as the biological gene bank and natural oxygen bar. The air quality is very good, so it is very suitable for hiking 👍.
Guangwu Mountain Scenic Area includes Taoyuan Scenic Area, Micang Mountain National Forest Park, Shibayue Pond Scenic Area, Shenmen Cave Scenic Area, and Xiaowu Gorge Scenic Area.
🌑The main hiking route is the Micang Mountain trail, which is specially designed for hiking. This is also the core scenic area of Guangwu Mountain, and the road is relatively flat. The main attraction here is the mountains. You can walk slowly here, hike back and forth in one day, bring your own dry food and water, and wear an extra jacket. These are all basic necessities.
Now Guangwu Mountain also has a special forces check-in challenge with rewards.
The check-in route includes Sandao Pass, Qinu Peak, Cherry Valley, Jiexian Post, and Micang Ancient Road hiking, which takes about six hours in total 👍. The challenge time is from August 1st to August 31st.
There are supply stations along the way: Sandao Pass, Lantian Gate, and Swallow Ridge.
The first 120 people every day can receive a customized commemorative medal.
Friends who love hiking can take on the challenge.
🔵Of course, Shibayue Pond is also the most visited scenic spot. You can take a sightseeing bus, 40 yuan per person, and it is also very convenient. The main attraction here is the beautiful water. It is suitable for friends who do not want to hike.
Guangwu Mountain's main waterfall group has dozens of waterfalls of different sizes, each unique and spectacular. The most famous is the Yuetan Waterfall, which is not to be missed. It is very impressive ❤️.
This is also the location of the main peak of Guangwu Mountain, with an altitude of 2500 meters. Autumn is the best time to enjoy the red leaves and sea of clouds.
Hurry up and take your family and children to Guangwu Mountain for a hiking trip.

Guangwu Mountain - A World in Dreams
The Guangwu Mountain scenic area in Bazhong is a place worth visiting once in a lifetime, with November being the best season. Pay attention to the weather when you go, as the prime time for viewing the red leaves lasts only about 20 days. Outside of this period, the colors are not as spectacular. However, the scenery of the area itself is also very beautiful. If you're not going specifically for the red leaves, visiting at other times is also nice, and much more cost-effective than during the peak viewing period. The scenic area is quite large and is divided into several spots, so it is recommended to allocate 2-3 days for the visit.

Autumn Destinations - Dreamlike Guangwu Mountain
Guangwu Mountain is a magical and beautiful natural area with complex terrain, overlapping peaks, majestic peak forests, deep caves, numerous mountain springs, misty clouds, vast forests, and many scenic spots. It is known as the number one mountain for red leaves in China.
Represented by its beautiful and unique peaks, with lush vegetation as the base tone, it integrates beautiful peaks, strange rocks, steep cliffs, secluded valleys, streams, waterfalls, and primitive forests. It can be summarized as "strange peaks," "odd rocks," "secluded valleys," "beautiful waters," and "green mountains." The Guangwu Mountain Scenic Area has five major scenic spots: Taoyuan, Daba, Dajiangkou, Shenmen, and Xiaowuxia, with more than 360 main attractions. The scenery in the area is beautiful, with changing views at every step, numerous strange peaks, intersecting ravines, secluded valleys, connected waterfalls, towering ancient trees, and miles of red leaves. The famous poet Gao Ping praised it in a poem: "Jiuzhaigou for water, Guangwu for mountains. If you haven't seen both, you haven't truly visited Sichuan." Guangwu Mountain is also the filming location for the TV series "Red Leaves of the Distant Mountains."
Guangwu Mountain Scenic Area is located in Guangwu Mountain Town, Nanjiang County, Bazhong City, Sichuan Province. The main peak is majestic and vast, with complex terrain, overlapping peaks, majestic peak forests, deep caves, numerous mountain springs, misty clouds, vast forests, and many scenic spots. Guangwu Mountain is 70 kilometers from the county seat and 70 kilometers from Hanzhong City in Shaanxi. The main peak has an altitude of 2500 meters, and the scenic area covers more than 400 square kilometers, with a majestic and vast momentum. It is the top domestic mountain for ancient and rare plants and animals.
Guangwu Mountain, located south of Taoyuan, has a peak with three sharp points and two gaps, gently changing, resembling a reclining Buddha from a distance. It is named for the perennial clouds and mist surrounding it. The weather on the mountain is unpredictable, and visitors should not shout loudly, or heavy rain will pour down immediately. In midsummer and early autumn, looking down from the peak at the vast green world makes one feel immersed in the sea of forests. If you venture into the forest, climb ancient trees, lie among flowers, and look up at the blue sky, it is tranquil and pleasant, making one feel relaxed and happy. In late autumn, the red leaves are like fire, and the spring air is fragrant. In winter, the silver landscape is adorned with jade trees and flowers, presenting a primitive and wild natural beauty, a rare natural wonder.
The scenic beauty of Guangwu Mountain is both tangible and soulful, and it is also a treasure trove of literature and history. Han Zhang Lu stationed troops at Hanwangtai, Zhuge Liang trained horses at Muyang City, Zhang Fei camped at Luoqishan, and the White-Haired Demoness conquered the Bashu Four Heroes at Basuguan. The site of the "Northern Sichuan Militia"'s base camp, the Bashan Guerrilla Force, is also within the area, leaving behind magnificent and heroic poems for future generations and adding another scenic line to the Guangwu Mountain Scenic Area.
Guangwu Mountain has a pleasant climate and can be visited in all seasons. It is easily accessible from the north and south, making it an ideal tourist destination.
