6. Miyaluo, Sichuan
Miyaluo in Lixian County, Sichuan Province, has the largest area of autumn leaves in China, covering almost 3,700 square kilometers, making it 180 times more than Xiangshan Park in Beijing.
In the Tibetan language Miyaluo means “a place with breathtaking scenery.” The place is hidden in Zagunao Valley and inhabited by the Tibetan and Qiang ethnic minorities.
Maples, birch trees, pines and larches add seasonal richness to the forests of Zagunao Valley. As autumn comes, the mountains are covered in a blaze of red and gold. [Photo/chinanews.com] |
