When summer has gone, the romantic autumn falls down to Wuyuan. In autumn, especially the period starting from October to late November, maple leaves saturate fields and hillsides in great splashes of red hence Wuyuan becomes a paradise for photographers and tourists. Fiery mountains, blue sky, white walls and dark-grey roofs are fused together – the scene is breathtaking.
Shicheng Mountain
Situated in Northwest Wuyuan County, Shicheng Mountain is a quite famous tourist site with picturesque scenery. When fall comes down, red maples covering hillsides, together with the ancient villages in the mountain are attractive to tourists and photography enthusiasts all around China.
Strolling down in the villages at the foot of Shicheng Mountain at early morning in autumn, it is common to see transparent white fog rises up softly from the streams winding in the village. When everything becomes hazy and blear, the sunrise is indeed a spectacle. The best position to watch sunrise is on the Shicheng Mountain.
