Travel|The autumn scenery of Wuyuan Stone City is like a dream

The name of Wuyuan seems to always be connected with spring. The overwhelming blooming rapeseed flowers in the mountain terraces, together with the Huizhou architecture with white walls and black tiles, form a beautiful Chinese pastoral landscape painting.

In fact, this place that captivates tourists with its spring scenery also has stunningly beautiful autumn colors! Every year from November 15th to December 5th, Shicheng always attracts many photography enthusiasts to come here to experience the dreamlike autumn colors.

Shicheng is actually the name of a mountain. It is located in Dazhangshan Township in the northwest of Wuyuan County. It is called Shicheng Mountain on the Wuyuan tourist map. At the foot of the mountain is Lingyan National Forest Park.

There are two villages distributed on the mountain: Chengcun and Daicun. The whole village is called Dai Village, which is run through by an ancient post road made of bluestones. The ancient houses with pink walls and black tiles are looming in the smoke. Cheng Village is separated by a small hillside.

There are two wonders in Shicheng: one is the mist in the early morning, and the other is the fiery red maple trees in the smoke. There are about a hundred ancient maple trees in Shicheng, each with a height of more than 35 meters.

The starlight gradually faded, and the small mountain village slowly woke up in the morning breeze. The fiery red maple trees and Huizhou folk houses are looming in the morning mist, coupled with the smoke from farmhouses and the sun in the morning light, it is like a dream and is so beautiful.

The beautiful pictures of Shicheng’s autumn scenery have impressed many netizens on the Internet, and at the same time, they have also made countless netizens doubtful. They cannot believe that Wuyuan still has such attractive scenery.

Many netizens always think that the photographer’s lens or beautiful pictures deceive their eyes. In fact, it is not entirely true. In Wuyuan in autumn and in the morning in Shicheng, such a beautiful scene does exist.

Shooting in Shicheng requires good weather, and mid-to-late November is the best time. You need to get up early and climb the mountain to occupy the position and set up the camera at 5:30 in the morning. The best viewing time is between 6:00 and 9:00 in the morning. As time goes by, different beautiful scenery will appear.

The sun usually rises between 7:00 and 7:15. After the sun comes out, the morning mist and smoke begin to mist. Maybe every few minutes, the same place will have different picture effects.

Shicheng is more than 50 kilometers away from Ziyang Town, the seat of Wuyuan County, and 33 kilometers away from Qinghua Town, the center point of Wuyuan's northern tourism line. Qinghua Town is a large town in Wuyuan County. Most tourists who get up early to take pictures of the morning scenery of Shicheng choose to stay in Qinghua Town.

Beautiful scenery requires the simultaneous cooperation of climate, temperature, humidity and other conditions. Encountering beautiful scenery is a kind of luck, but it is not possible to present fairy tale world-like scenery all the time and every day.

Changxi Village in Wuyuan, like Chengcun in Shicheng, is also a place to enjoy maple leaves in autumn, but it is not as famous as Chengcun. The scenery of Shicheng during the day is relatively average. As for the 13-kilometer long hiking trail from Shicheng to Changxi, the scenery along the way is also very ordinary.
