Wucai Valley
五彩谷
A valley about 10 kilometers long in Xiaxia Township, where nearly 10,000 mu of colorful forest turn the hillsides red and gold in late autumn, earning it the nickname 'Jiangnan Bashang.'
Wucai Valley lies in Xiaxia Township in southern Yanling County, a valley about 10 kilometers long at the foot of the Luoxiao Mountains. Nearly 10,000 mu of colorful-leaved trees, including Chinese sweetgum, Chinese tallow, and Chinese pepper, create distinct layers of red, yellow, orange, and green in late autumn. Combined with terraced fields, streams, and village houses, it is known as 'Jiangnan Bashang' and is a popular autumn photography spot in eastern Hunan. Outside autumn, there are fewer attractions. A road runs along the valley, so visitors can drive slowly and take photos. Traffic is heavy during weekend foliage season, so it is best to set out early.
