Benxi Grand Canyon Autumn Fairy Tale Journey

📍Detailed address: Sishanling Street, Nanfen District, Benxi City, Liaoning Province (Search "Benxi Grand Canyon Scenic Area" on navigation for one-click arrival)🗺️

🚗Transportation guide:
Starting from Benxi city center, self-driving is the most convenient! Drive along the Benhuan Highway for about 40 minutes, with the mountains covered in red leaves blazing like flames, the scenery along the way is like a moving gallery~🚙💨
For those not driving, you can take the "Benxi-Grand Canyon" shuttle bus from Benxi Long-distance Bus Station. The buses run frequently, remember to choose a window seat so you don’t miss a second of the autumn scenery!🚌🎊

🕙Opening hours:
Peak season (April-October) 7:30-17:30🕢
Night light show 18:00-21:00 (The maple forest lit up in October is stunningly beautiful!)🌙✨

🌟Highlights:
▷ Northeast’s No.1 Glass Suspension Bridge🌉
Standing on the 108-meter-high transparent sky bridge, beneath your feet is a sea of burning maple leaves, every step feels like walking on clouds! The way people afraid of heights hold the railing is so real🤣📸

▷ Ten-thousand-acre Maple Forest Photography Paradise📷
Mid to late October is the peak of red leaves! Overlooking the colorful forest from the cable car, the drone view is simply divine! It’s recommended to wear white or traditional Hanfu for photos that come with a natural filter~👘🎨

▷ Cliff Swing + Rainbow Slide🎢
Scream factor max! The moment you swing feels like flying into a painting, the rainbow slide is like passing through a fairy tale tunnel, both adults and kids can’t stop playing!🌈🤸

▷ Star Pavilion Dreamy Night Tour🌌
After nightfall, 3D lights and maple forest weave into a star river, every snap looks like a sci-fi blockbuster! The glowing path lights up when stepped on, a must-visit for best friend duos!👫💫

🍜Food and accommodation recommendations:
→Must-try at the scenic area entrance: Small Market Lamb Soup with Beef Tongue Pancake!🍲🔥Hot milky-white soup sprinkled with cilantro and pepper, one sip warms you through the deep autumn!
→Hidden delicacy: Iron Pot Stewed Forest Frog🐸! A local favorite limited delicacy, only true warriors dare to try!
→Accommodation recommendation: Maple Forest Villa Homestay🏡! Open the window to see red mountains, fall asleep to the sound of the stream at night, great value at about 150 RMB per person~

📌Tips:
•Best photo times: Early morning 7-9 AM☀️, morning mist wraps the maple leaves like a fairyland; afternoon 3-5 PM🌄, the sunset light is gentle and perfect for photos!
•Must-bring items: Non-slip sports shoes👟 (many mountain steps) + thermos cup (hot water saves you in the cool autumn) + folding stool (a clever trick to avoid crowds when taking photos)🪑
•Hidden activity: Collect maple leaves of different shapes to make specimen bookmarks! Exchange limited edition postcards at the stamp station in the visitor center~💌🍂

This October, let Benxi Grand Canyon lay a carpet of red leaves and compose a mountain breeze BGM, waiting for you to perform your own autumn rhapsody!🎼🧡
