Hongye Shiyan Scenic Area
红叶柿岩
A persimmon-orchard scenic area in the Boshan hills, where deep autumn brings red leaves and heavy persimmon trees, set off by cliffside viewing structures.
Hongye Shiyan is built around old persimmon trees and smoketree foliage that cover the hillsides. In late autumn the persimmons hang heavy on the branches and the slopes turn red and gold. The scenic area follows a valley with cliff-edge walkways, viewing platforms and photogenic architecture that has become popular on social media, along with guesthouses and restaurants. Spring and summer are for mountain leisure, but autumn is the undisputed peak season. Entry is about CNY 90 (check the official notice for current prices). It sits near the Boshan urban area, and self-driving is recommended, as parking fills up quickly on weekends.
