I chose this hotel among many others. ✅Location: The hotel is near scenic spots such as Lushi Valley, Guanshan Lake, and Guanmen Mountain.

A gentle breeze blows, and the maple leaves sway gently, making a rustling sound, as if cheering for the arrival of autumn. 📚Travel Guide: 🚗Transportation: Plane: You can choose to fly to Shenyang Taoxian International Airport, and then take a long-distance bus or train to Benxi.

Benxi in Liaoning is known as the "Maple Leaf Capital", and the "ceiling" for viewing maple leaves in Benxi is Guanmen Mountain. On the last day of the National Day holiday, we went to Guanmen Mountain to see the maple leaves. There are colorful leaves all over the mountains and valleys, gorgeous water and sky, splashing streams and waterfalls, and small bridges and plank roads with changing light and shadow... It is so beautiful. Guanmen Mountain really deserves the title of "ceiling for viewing maple leaves". When talking about the beauty of Guanmen Mountain, we must first mention the "King of Maple". In the photos and videos I have seen before, there was always a crowd of people under the "Maple King" tree, but now there was no one there. At first I thought that tourists were not allowed to get close, but it turned out that it was because the tourists had not arrived yet. People who got up early had a good view. This "Maple King" is more than 100 years old and more than 11 meters tall. It has lush branches and is always the first to turn red in autumn every year. Its colors are bright and its postures are elegant. The maple leaves on the tree have nine corners, eleven corners, and a rare thirteen corners. It is truly the "King of Maple Trees." The highway is high up and the "Maple King" doesn't look very tall. Only when you get under the tree do you realize how tall it is. The sun shines through the leaves and gathers into starlight. Anyone who comes to Guanmen Mountain must check in here. After a while, there was a crowd of people under the big tree. There are many lakes in the park. In autumn, the trees on the mountains beside the lake are colorful and their reflections in the lake water create a riot of colors that complement the surrounding maple leaves, which is a beautiful sight. The lake water is clear and calm, like a huge mirror, perfectly reflecting the beautiful scenery on the shore in the water. The upper and lower parts are symmetrical, and the virtual and the real complement each other, adding a dreamy beauty. The mountain stream meanders, the water is crystal clear and looks even more lively against the backdrop of maple leaves. The stream and maple leaves are intertwined. The maple leaves fall on the water and flow slowly with the stream, like a flowing painting, adding a touch of poetry and romance to Guanmen Mountain in autumn. Benxi Travel Tips 1️⃣You can go to Shenyang first, then take the high-speed rail from Shenyang to Benxi, and then rent a car to drive yourself. 2️⃣ The general viewing period for maple leaves is 4-5 weeks, with the best time being mid-to-late October, and early November is also acceptable. 3️⃣ Most of the maple leaves in Benxi grow by the river, and the temperature is lower than in the city, so remember to bring warm clothes when you go. 4️⃣If you come to Benxi this season, you must not miss the mutton soup, it is really delicious.

"Benxi, this land blessed by nature, captivates people with its unique charm of beautiful mountains, clear waters, and a sense of freedom. Today, I had the fortune to step foot by Guanshan Lake in Benxi, and I deeply felt the gentleness and grandeur of nature. By the Guanshan Lake, the green mountains are like ink paintings, with layers upon layers of peaks, quietly unfolding before my eyes. The lake water ripples with emerald waves, clear to the bottom, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and mountain shadows, creating a breathtaking beauty. As the breeze blows, the lake surface ripples delicately, bringing a touch of coolness, yet also an immense sense of comfort and relaxation. Walking along the lakeside path, shaded by green trees and filled with the fragrance of flowers and the sounds of birds, it feels like being in a paradise far from the hustle and bustle. Every deep breath brings the fresh and sweet scent of nature, making one feel refreshed and all worries and troubles vanish. Guanshan Lake in Benxi is not just a scenic spot but also a haven for the soul. Here, people can temporarily forget the noise and busyness of the city, finding inner peace and freedom. Whether walking alone or enjoying the scenery with family and friends, one can gain a rare sense of joy and satisfaction. Today's trip has given me a deeper understanding and appreciation of Benxi's beautiful mountains, clear waters, and sense of freedom. In the future, I will definitely set foot on this beautiful land again to continue exploring more unknown landscapes and stories."

📍 Took a self-driving trip with mom and dad. Sisters who are not in a hurry can take the bus, the time is about the same. 🅿️ There is parking available inside the park. 🚗 If you drive, you can enter directly with your ticket 🎫. 📍 At the entrance is the 【Bamboo Raft】. When it's not crowded, there's no time limit, but you have to paddle yourself. 📍 Walk further from the bamboo raft, and you will find the 【Big Airplane】 where you can go up to view the cockpit and take photos, and even simulate a takeoff (takeoff requires an additional fee). 📍 Right in front of the airplane is the 【Cave】. Cross the popular bridge to reach the entrance of the cave, where it's nice and cool inside. 📍 After exiting the cave, there are two routes to choose from, but both lead to the same destination. You can either choose to climb the mountain (climb the stairs from the cave exit to reach the 【Fortune Longevity Temple】, and pass through the temple to get to the 【Glass Viewing Platform】), or choose to take a vehicle (which costs 10 yuan per person one way). You can also follow the sightseeing car's route on foot, which is not far, just over ten minutes to the 【Glass Viewing Platform】, where the scenery is very beautiful. ‼️ If you're physically fit, just walk; there's no need to take the vehicle because you'll find that it's only a 3-minute ride to the next stop for 10 yuan 😄‼️ Near the 【Glass Viewing Platform】, there are attractions like 【Boat Sightseeing】, 【Rainbow Slide】, and 【Glass Drifting】. Note that both the Rainbow Slide and Glass Drifting go downwards, so you can play them after coming back. For boat sightseeing, board at Pier 1. The boat has two levels, with a windy and sunny deck offering great views, and a glass-enclosed cabin. Take a round trip around Red Leaves Lake and disembark at Pier 2, then follow the path to a fork in the road, which is actually interconnected. Going down the stairs will take you to 【Dragon King Pavilion】, where you can see small fish, buy some cultural and creative products, and take photos in costumes. Exiting the Dragon King Pavilion leads to a small rest plaza. 📍 Past the plaza is the 【Pet Paradise】 with alpacas, peacocks, pigs, deer, and other small animals. There's a vegetable feeding station at the entrance of Pet Paradise (30 yuan per portion). If you buy it, remember to 'hide' it because the animals will jump on you to snatch it. 📍 Opposite the entrance of Pet Paradise is the 【Jungle Tank】. 📍 Further up is the 【Savage Valley】, where there are 'savages'! ‼️ It's very photogenic ‼️ Following the stream in Savage Valley, you'll come across the 【Phoenix Flight Stage】 where performances are held. At this point, I turned back and didn't continue upwards to the 【Dragon Flight Platform】 because I was in a hurry to get home. I feel that if you walk the whole way, the distance between each sightseeing spot is not very far. If you have the physical strength, I don't recommend taking the electric cart. Of course, if there are elderly people, children, or pregnant women, you should take the vehicle. For young people, just walk! Exiting Savage Valley, the shaded path can take you all the way to Pet Paradise, which is very photogenic! Moreover, the stream is cool, and the water is clear to the bottom. Walking down the mountain, you will pass the 【Time Tunnel】. Since I took the boat, I didn't pass it on the way up. After passing through the Time Tunnel, you will find the 【Rainbow Slide】 and 📍【Glass Drifting】, which require an additional fee and are optional. Both attractions take you directly down the mountain after playing. If you don't play, it's also about a five-minute walk to the bottom of the mountain.
