Chase autumn colors in Huaxi

As soon as the September breeze blows, Huaxi district in Guiyang, Southwest China's Guizhou province, quietly changes its colors. Save this Huaxi autumn guide first, then set off.

Gaopo Shimen Terraces

From September to October, thousands of mu of terraces wind layer upon layer from the foot to the top of the mountain. As the rice ripens, the entire mountain countryside is dyed golden.

From the Shimen Shengjing viewing platform, the layered field ridges below resemble the fingerprints of the Earth, with wind blowing through the rice waves and the fragrance of rice spreading across the mountain.

Shilihetan Tourist Resort

Autumn in Shilihetan Tourist Resort is a healing landscape that Guiyang residents can enjoy without having to venture far.

In early autumn, gesang flowers and sulfur cosmos are still blooming in succession, with pink-purple, bright yellow, and snow-white blooms dotting the shoals like an overturned palette; in late autumn, the metasequoia trees turn golden in layered forests, reeds sway in the wind, and the riverside is full of gentle autumn light.

Golden Avenue

Along the 560-meter riverside walkway, more than 100 London plane trees spread out along the Huaxi River. In late autumn, the golden leaves are reflected in the blue waves, and fallen leaves cover the walkway. Walking through it feels like entering a golden tunnel.

Jiuan township

Huaxi's autumn is not only about golden rice fields and plane trees, but also about a sea of ten-thousand-mu tea hidden in the nearby suburbs.

The sea of tea sheds the restlessness of summer and brews, in the wind, a sweetness unique to autumn.

While the autumn colors still last, come to Huaxi. Pick a nice day and set off as you desire.
