巴渝大地披上“七彩外衣”

巫山紅葉西起夔峽、東至巫峽，境內(nèi)廣袤的峽江兩岸分布著10多萬畝紅葉。黃櫨、烏桕、楓樹……紅葉多達數(shù)十種。仲秋時五彩繽紛，晚秋時層林盡染，初冬時一片火紅。丹紅的葉片，配上飄渺的云霧，“好一座紅葉戀城·神女巫山！”

2018年11月16日—12月31日，第十二屆中國·重慶長江三峽（巫山）國際紅葉節(jié)期間，巫山縣精心推出14條賞紅葉最美路線，兼顧?quán)l(xiāng)村特色和三峽美景。

沿著鄉(xiāng)村特色線路觀賞紅葉也是不錯的選擇。或乘車沿公路盤旋而上一覽眾山紅葉，或徒步山野紅葉林中小道、騾馬古道，每一條線路都能與紅葉不期而遇，都是游覽、攝影的好去處。

滿山紅葉似彩霞，彩霞年年映三峽。緊鄰巫山的奉節(jié)瞿塘峽夔門一帶也是絕佳的賞紅葉去處。登三峽之巔，賞滿山紅葉；乘黃金游輪，觀夔門之雄。無論從哪一個角度觀賞紅葉之姿，都會沉醉在這片紅色海洋！

當斑斕秋葉漫卷大巴山時，中國亢谷、黃安壩……城口成千上萬畝“多彩厚重的秋天”便盡收眼前。披上彩葉的大自然猶如打翻了的調(diào)色板：綠，是四季常青的松柏；紅黃，是挺拔的楓樹和板栗樹；紫，是林下的灌木。山間云霧繚繞，耳邊溪水潺潺，林間山谷盡是晚秋初冬神韻，人行其間如同闖進了童話世界。

巴南豐盛鎮(zhèn)分布著重慶主城區(qū)附近面積最大的天然楓樹林，每逢深秋初冬便紅艷無比。近年來開發(fā)的“彩色森林”生態(tài)景區(qū)，引進了歐洲紅楓、日本紅楓等30多種楓樹，使古鎮(zhèn)更添風(fēng)情。

巫溪蘭英大峽谷，一個以隋朝傳奇綠林女英雄紀蘭英命名的地方，位于巫溪縣的蘭英鄉(xiāng)與雙陽鄉(xiāng)境內(nèi)。峽谷幽深，有“重慶第一深谷”之美譽，每年秋冬季節(jié)，這里彩林斑斕蔚為壯觀，頗具中國畫的恢弘氣勢。

酉陽板溪鎮(zhèn)有渝東南地區(qū)面積最大的紅葉基地。漫山遍野緋紅、桃紅、紫紅、嫣紅、朱紅的紅葉層次分明、錯落有致，如同從天上灑落的花瓣，裝點著大美河山。

此外，南川區(qū)山王坪、開州區(qū)北部雪寶山等地也是賞葉熱搜地。南川山王坪有上萬畝水杉林和柳杉林，被一條公路分成兩半。每到秋冬時節(jié)，一邊的水杉林由綠變黃，另一邊的柳杉林則仍然保持著青綠色彩。開州雪寶山國家森林公園里，5萬畝落葉松被染成金黃色，清風(fēng)拂過，猶如一片金色波浪跌宕起伏，美不勝收。

山之間、谷之中、河之畔，巴山渝水間，一起來品讀這冬日暖色。

At the end of autumn and the start of winter,the land in Sichuan and Chongqing(Bayu) is shrouded with "Colorful Outerwear",and the woods on the mountains and plains looked dyed- a good timing to watch the leaves. Visitors can either,with a group of friends,go to the depths of the mountains and find the colorful forest; or ascend to the hills,or take a boat,capture the beauty by the lens and put it in their hearts.

The Bashu Land Shrouded with "Colorful Wear"

The red leaves of Wushan Mountain range as West as the Kui Gorge and as East as the Wu Gorge. There are over 100,000 mu of red leaves on both sides of the vast Xiajiang River. Smoke tree,black mulberry,maple... there are dozens of red leaves. Their leaves become colorful since the middle of autumn,the hues getting deeper at the late autumn,and a burning flame at the beginning of winter. The rouge leaves are shaded among the misty clouds. "Wushan county,what a city of red leaves-- where Goddess resides.!"

From November 16th to December 31st,2018,during the 12th China Chongqing Yangtze River Three Gorges (Wushan) International Red Leaves Festival,Wushan County,with a well-design plan,introduced 14 most beautiful routes to enjoy the red leaves,taking into account the rural characteristics and the beauty of the Three Gorges.

The core scenic spots are decorated with red leaves,including the Shennong South Ring Line Scenic Area,the Shennong North Ring Line Scenic Area,the Shennong Scenic Area North-South Ring Line,Wenfeng Scenic Area,the Little Three Gorges.the Lesser Three Gorges Scenic Area,and the Dangyang Grand Canyon Scenic Area. Along the way,visitors have an access to the breath-taking natural beauty,travel to the core attractions such as Goddess Sky Ascent,Goddess Stream,Wenfeng Scenic Area and Goddess Peak,and live in high-end homestays such as“Three Gorges Courtyard”and“On Watch”.Visitors can also take a boat tour of the Little Three Gorges and the Lesser Three Gorges Scenic Area to see the best red leaf spots in Bawu Gorge and Dicui Gorge. Besides the thrills brought by the 220-meter-tall Goddess Sky Ascent,it also gives visitors a bird-view to the red leaves through a fully transparent sightseeing lift.

Another good choice to watch the red leaves lies on the country tour line. Visitors can either take a bus along the road to hover up the mountains to watch the red leaves,or hike in the mountain by taking a forest trail or ancient horse trails flanked by red-leaf trees. Each line that can give visitors a rendez-vous with red leaves is a good place for sightseeing and photography.

The red leaves of the mountains are like colorful clouds hovering over the Three Gorges. It is also an excellent place to enjoy the red leaves in the vicinity of the Qutang Gorge in the Kuimen Mountains near Wushan. On the top of the Three Gorges,visitors can enjoy the red leaves of the mountains; either taking the gold cruise ship or viewing the grandeur of the Kuimen mountains-- no matter which angle you look from,you will be immersed in this red-leaf ocean!

When the autumn leaves are covering over the Daba Mountain,China Kang Gu,Huang Anba Pasture,etc.,thousands of acres of colorful autumn view in Chengkou county will be in sight. Mother Nature,dressed in colorful leaves,is like a knocked-over palette: green,the evergreen pines and cypresses;red and yellow,maple and chestnut trees; purple,shrubs under the forest. The mountains are covered with mist,the streams are gurgling,and the valleys in the forest demonstrate the charm of the late autumn and early winter,so the pedestrians walking there are like entering a fairy wonderland.

Travel by the red leaf map

The "Chongqing Red-leaf Map" released by the Chongqing Municipal Planning Bureau and the Municipal Geographic Information Center pinpoints 22 most representative and most spectacular red leaf viewing areas:Guocun Town,Wanzhou District; Puhua Dark River,Qianjiang county; Yongsheng Forest Farm,Fuling county; Fengsheng Town,Ba’nan District; Wuzhou Garden,Ba’nan District; Simian Mountain,Jiangjin county; Gulou Town,Hechuan county; Jinfo Mountain,Nanchuan county;Bayue Mountain,Tongliang county; Jiulong Mountain,Kaizhou county; Daba Mountain,Chengkou county; Xueyu Mountain,Fengdu county; Fairy Mountain,Wulong county; Longgang Valley,Yunyang county; Kuimen Mountain,Fengjie county; Three Gorges,Wushan county; Small Three Gorges,Wushan county;Lanying Grand Canyon,Wuxi county; Huangshui Dafeng Fort,Shizhu county; Daxi Youshui,Xiushan county; Banxi Town,Fuyang county;Black Valley,Wansheng county.

The Fengsheng town of Ba’nan District is the place where is located the largest natural maple forest near the main city of Chongqing. It is brilliantly red in the early autumn and early winter. In recent years,the“Colorful Forest”ecological scenic spot has been developed,and more than 30 kinds of maple trees such as European Red Maple and Japanese Red Maple have been introduced,which has added charm to the ancient town.

Lanying Grand Canyon,Wuxi County,a place named after the legendary Forest Outlaw heroine(Robin-hood type of heroes in Chinese culture ) Ji Lanying,is located in Lanying Township and Shuangyang Township of Wuxi County. The canyon enjoys the reputation of“the Deepest Valley in Chongqing”.Every autumn and winter season,the colorful forests are as spectacular and magnificent as an classic Chinese painting.

The town of Banxi in Youyang County has the largest red leaf base in the southeastern part of Chongqing. The red leaves of the mountains,the rouge,the ruby,the purple,the crimson,and the scarlet,are well-defined like a patchwork,as the petals are falling from the sky,decorating the grand rivers and mountains.

In addition,Shanwangping Mountain of Nanchuan County and Xuebao Mountain in the northern part of Kaizhou District are also hot spots for red leaf appreciation. Shanwangping Mountain of Nanchuan County has tens of thousands of acres of metasequoia forest and cedar forest,sliced into two halves by a highway. Every autumn and winter season,the Metasequoia forest on one side turns from green to yellow,while the other side of the cedar forest remains green. In the Xuebaoshan National Forest Park in Kaizhou,50,000 mu of larch is dyed golden yellow. It would be like a rising and falling golden wave when the breeze blowing through.

Lying between the mountains,the valleys,the banks of the river,the warm colors of the winter in Chongqing awaits people to appreciate.
