Guangwushan Autumn Foliage Weekend

Travel from Chengdu to Nanjiang to admire the autumn red leaves of Taoyuan, Micang Mountain, and Shibayue Tan.

This is a short itinerary available only in autumn. On the first day, visit Taoyuan; on the second day, explore the Natural Gallery and Dalan and Xiaolan Gullies in Micang Mountain; on the third day, return to Chengdu via Shibayue Tan. Although the distance is not short, it is accessible by highway, and the walking intensity is low. During the red leaf season, traffic control is implemented in the scenic area and accommodation is tight, so this itinerary focuses only on the core areas for three days.

The peak period for red leaves is usually from mid-October to early November, varying slightly from year to year.
