Visit Date: 2025-12-8 There are not many red leaves left to see at Lingnan Red Leaf World; only a handful remain, and the rest are almost completely withered! However, the bald cypress trees at a certain scenic spot (I forgot the name) that we visited by sightseeing bus were quite beautiful, and there were also many photo opportunities along the lake.
