The autumn colors of the Metasequoia forest at Changtangang are splendid

In early winter, the Changtangang Water Conservancy Scenic Area in Fenghuang County welcomes the most poetic season of the year. Located about ten kilometers upstream of the Tuojiang River, the metasequoia forests on both banks quietly change their attire, with layers of golden yellow, fiery red, and green leaves reflecting on the clear water surface. Together with the suspension bridge spanning the river and the distant village houses, they outline a harmonious landscape painting of mountains and water. The winding Tuojiang River flows through the gorge like a jade ribbon. From an aerial view, the colorful metasequoia forest and the pastoral scenery complement each other, making it a paradise for photography enthusiasts. In this picturesque secret realm, a travel style full of ritual is quietly emerging—tourists set up tea tables under the metasequoia trees, brew tea around the stove, and chat happily. Amid the curling tea fragrance, professional travel photography teams capture warm moments: gazing afar from the railing, strolling under the trees, each pose perfectly blending with the autumn mountain and water scenery. These poetic scenes are widely shared on social platforms, gradually making Changtangang a new cultural and tourism card of Western Hunan. Whether you are enchanted by the natural beauty, enjoy the leisure of brewing tea around the stove, or record the beauty with your camera, this place can fulfill all your imaginations of winter romance. Come to Changtangang to feel this unique warmth and poetry, and write your own winter story!
