In autumn, the leaves gradually turn golden yellow and orange-red, and the fallen leaves flutter in the wind, making it a visual feast. Come to Sumushan Forest Park and experience the fairy tale world in autumn!
❤Reason for recommendation:
Binglinggou: "Born with jade and crystal face, living here in a quiet place with green pines." Entering the beautiful icy world in midsummer - Binglinggou Scenic Area will make you linger and forget to leave.
Huangshi Cliff: "Xinghefeng Town is divided into a mountain, and Huangshi Cliff towers into the clouds." Huangshiya is the highest point of Sumu Mountain and the highest point of the entire Ulanqab City, with an altitude of 2,334.7 meters. It is known as the "Everest" of Ulanqab. There is a saying here, "If you don't visit the Great Wall in Beijing, you are not a true man, and if you don't climb the Yellowstone Cliff in Inner Mongolia, it is a pity." Looking up, you can see the mountains as far as the eye can see, and you can see all the small mountains at a glance.
Couple Stone: "Thousand-year-old lovers have been in love in the world of mortals, and their unswerving loyalty has left them with a good reputation." On the cliffs of Sumu Mountain, there are two huge rocks hugging each other like a couple. They still stand between heaven and earth despite being washed away by wind and rain for thousands of years. Couples take photos together here to witness the steadfastness and greatness of love, which means that love will last forever.
Golden Wooden Plank Road: On the vast and lush slopes of Sumu Mountain, the winding golden wooden plank road winds up the mountain, like a long golden dragon soaring around the pine forest.
