Mount Heng (Nanyue) in Hunan Province, one of China\u2019s Five Great Mountains, is one of the best spots for maple leaves viewing in autumn. Although the maple season at Mount Heng usually runs from mid\u2011November to early December, the optimal time is around late November. When I arrived in mid\u2011November, about half of the leaves had not yet turned red. In recent years, changes in weather may cause the viewing period to shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On this trip, besides visiting Mount Heng, I also made a side trip to Chibi City in Hubei Province (two days, one night) to see the site of the famous Battle of Red Cliffs from the year 208 during the Three Kingdoms era. A separate article will be written about the Red Cliffs journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transportation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Depart from Shenzhen North station, you can take the high\u2011speed rail directly to Hengshan West Station, which takes a little over three hours. I visited Hengshan first and then went on to Chibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u8861\u5c711-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u8861\u5c711-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u8861\u5c711-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u8861\u5c711-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u8861\u5c711.jpg 1296w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"907\" height=\"604\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u8861\u5c712.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u8861\u5c712.jpg 907w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u8861\u5c712-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u8861\u5c712-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 907px) 100vw, 907px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Viewing Areas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mountain hiking, maple leaves, taking photos can take a whole day. Unless you arrive early in the morning, it is recommended to stay at a one night at the foot of the mountain on the first day, where accommodation and meals are lower price than the peak. On the second day, go up the mountain, leave your luggage at another hostel, and then continue sightseeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"611\" height=\"837\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Map.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Map.jpg 611w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Map-219x300.jpg 219w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"699\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Map2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Map2.jpg 699w, https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Map2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, you can view maple leaves along the way, with the densest scenery starting from the Zhonglie Shrine section upward. In contrast, there weren\u2019t many maple leaves to see at Zhuling Peak that day, perhaps because the weather wasn\u2019t yet right. Although it was a bit disappointing that the mountain didn\u2019t have many maple leaves at that time, I was pleasantly surprised to find a thousand\u2011year\u2011old ginkgo tree, which was truly beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure

From the lodging area to the summit at Zhuling Peak takes about 2.5 to 3 hours, depending on walking speed. Around late November, sunrise is at about 6:30 a.m. We woke up at 2:30 a.m. to wash up and set off, aiming to avoid the crowds and secure a good viewing spot. However, when we arrived, many people were already there, with roughly four\u2011fifths of the spots taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can choose to climb stairs or follow the winding road up, though the latter takes longer. Although many people hike up together for the sunrise, it\u2019s advisable to bring a flashlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to stand in the front row, you basically need to start climbing very early. Some people even camp on the mountain. The viewing area isn\u2019t very large, so some stand on rooftops. On the left side, standing on the ground is better, but you\u2019ll need to jump up and down carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to bring a jacket, water, and some snacks. At this time of year, the weather is getting colder, so mosquito repellent isn\u2019t necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can check my IG profile or Facebook page to see that area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

Just find a reasonably priced room, usually around RMB 100 per room. There are also hostels on the mountain, about RMB 100\u2013120 per night for a double bed. If you don\u2019t want to set off too early to catch the sunrise, you can choose accommodation at a higher elevation. For me, climbing the mountain itself feels more meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, hostels offer meals, and there are also food options at the summit, so you don\u2019t need to worry about breakfast, lunch, or dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other related article:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/en\/travel-in-china-stepping-the-snow-at-wudan-mountain-tour-guide\/\">Wudan Mountain Trip<\/a><br>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/en\/fenghuang-zhangjiajie-tour-guide-4d3n-itinerary\/\">Zhangjiajie &amp; Fenghuang Ancient Town Trip<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Short Trip:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/en\/kaiping-diaolou-chikan-ancient-town-tour-guide\/\">Kaiping Diaolou Trip<\/a><br>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/en\/china-travel-shenzhen-xichong-star-gazing-firefly-2day-1night-tour-guide\/\">ShenZhen Fireflies Trip<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/en\/category\/trip\/\">-> Global Travel Guide<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/en\/category\/tire\/\">-> Tyre related information<\/a> <br><a href=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/en\/category\/battery\/\">-> Automotive Battery related information<\/a> <br><a href=\"https:\/\/tyrehood.com\/articles\/en\/category\/vehicle-maintenance\/\">-> Vehicle maintenance and DIY<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entering autumn is the best time for viewing maple leaves.
