Wushan Longji to See Red Leaves|Lazy Easy Route

Who knew! You can chase the ultimate Three Gorges red leaves without climbing mountains~ This easy route is tested and walkable, with no steep slopes throughout. Every snap captures the Yangtze River + red leaves in one frame, perfect for the lazy to rush in with eyes closed! 🚗 Transportation Guide: Take a taxi directly from Wushan Small Three Gorges Visitor Center to the "Wenfeng Mountain Scenic Area Visitor Center," about a 30-minute ride, super convenient~ 🗺️ Tour Route (easily done in 4 hours): 1. After getting off at the visitor center, don’t rush to take the shuttle! The 2 km gentle trail is very easy to walk, offering panoramic views of Wushan County, with the magnificent confluence of the Daning River and Yangtze River fully in sight. A 30-minute walk brings you to Wenfeng Pavilion~ 2. Walk up about 100 meters to the left of Wenfeng Pavilion, where a snack hub is hidden! Roasted potatoes, hot skewers, and more to dazzle you, plus free water refills. Eat and drink well before setting off again~ 3. From the snack stalls, cross left past "Mouya Yunjian Homestay," which is the starting point of Longji Section 2! Stroll along the cliffside trail, with the rolling Yangtze River beneath your feet and fiery autumn leaves beside you. When the wind blows, the leaves rustle, creating an immersive atmosphere~ 4. Return the same way to the snack stalls, then head right towards Guanyin Pavilion + Zhenshui Tower! The density of red leaves here is incredible, with the whole mountain glowing red beyond the frame~ On the way down, you can get close to the red leaves and ancient tower, and even capture panoramic views of the Wushan Yangtze River Bridge. Every shot is wallpaper-worthy! 5. Continue downhill to the Longji hiking trailhead, where there is a visitor center nearby. You can take a taxi back to the city or to the train station, perfectly closing the trip loop~ 💡 Tips: ✔️ The route is mostly flat + gentle downhill, just wear sneakers, suitable for elderly and children ✔️ The best red leaf season is from mid-November to mid-December. It’s recommended to start before 10 AM for softer light and better photos ✔️ Snack stall prices are affordable, no need to bring too many snacks, remember to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated You can enjoy the red leaves immersively without getting out of breath and check in at multiple spots. Quickly save this easy Wushan Longji route and invite your friends to rush over~
