Benxi Maple Forest Secret Guide

Benxi Secret｜Venture into the "Little Quebec" at 41° North Latitude When the autumn rain in Benxi falls with a chill, the entire valley's maple leaves turn red collectively within 48 hours, making this place the most stunning autumn fairy tale in Northeast China. Unlike the delicate beauty of Kyoto, Benxi's maple leaves carry the wildness of the northern lands—the 300-year-old "Maple King" of Guanmenshan stands alone like a painting, with thirteen-pointed maple leaves burning like flames; the thousand-acre maple forest in Laobiangou stretches along the valley, with golden yellow, orange-red, and deep purple layers blending across the mountains, as if a palette has been spilled. It is recommended to stroll through the China Maple Avenue early in the morning. When driving, roll down the car window and let the autumn breeze mixed with pine fragrance fill the cabin. For outfits, a beret paired with a tassel scarf, and a caramel-colored coat blending with the maple forest make every photo look like a cinematic masterpiece. If it gets colder, wear Martin boots with wide-leg pants and a turtleneck sweater underneath for warmth without losing style. Benxi, with its few people and beautiful scenery, hides the most exquisite autumn colors in China. There are no crowded crowds here, only endless maple leaves whispering to you. Catch the tail end of October and come to this "Little Quebec" to encounter a northern autumn romance!
