In the crisp autumn air, the red leaves of Jingzi Xianshan in Luoyang have reached their peak viewing season, drawing crowds of visitors eager to hike the mountain and soak in the autumn scenery.

Splashes of red, orange, yellow, and green interweave across rolling hills, where contiguous stretches of colorful forest bathe the mountains in vibrant fall hues. Nestled beside the Yellow River, Jingzi Xianshan rewards hikers with ever-widening views as they ascend the trails—crimson-clad slopes set against the winding river below, painting an autumn scene unique to the mountain that is as enchanting as a fairyland. Families and friends come together to stroll the trails and climb the viewing platforms, admiring the sea of red leaves and gazing down at the surging Yellow River.

Ms. Wu / Visitor:

"We come to Jingzi Xianshan every autumn for the red leaves. Standing at the summit, you can take in both the majesty of the great river and the ethereal beauty of the mountain—it's truly healing."

Part of the Wangwushan–Daimeishan UNESCO Global Geopark, Jingzi Xianshan is a year-round destination. Beyond its autumn foliage, its spring blooms of jingzi flowers and peach blossoms, and its summer sea of clouds are equally celebrated across the country.
