Huanggang, a city located in the eastern part of Hubei, is best viewed from October to November every year. When the autumn is infused, it turns into a gorgeous red leaf scroll, telling the romance of autumn with the magnificent scenery of the forests. There are mountains crisscrossing in Huanggang, and the remnants of the Dabie Mountains run through it. The unique geographical environment and mild climate have bred a rich variety of red leaf trees such as cotinus coggygria, Chinese tallow tree, and maple. When the autumn wind blows across the mountains, the chlorophyll in the leaves fades quietly, and the red leaves all over the mountains bloom one after another.
The various colors of red leaves are scattered and set off against the vigorous pines and cypresses, the quaint villages, and the winding streams, forming a layered autumn picture. The misty peaks in the distance are looming, and the white-walled and black-tiled villages at the foot of the mountain are rising with curling smoke, adding a bit of poetry and fireworks to the red leaf scenery.
Whether you are climbing high to see the magnificent view of the colorful forests, or strolling along the stream to feel the tranquility of the red leaves reflected in the water,the red leaves in Huanggang can bring a soul-stirring visual feast, making people indulge in the unique charm of autumn in eastern Hubei.
