About 1 hour. Why this route: Taoyuan is the gateway and essence of Guangwu Mountain; feel the tone of the red-leaf mountain here first.
3. Natural Gallery

   about 2630 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight

   In red-leaf season, focus on the Natural Gallery of Micang Mountain: rolling red leaves stretch across the mountains, with mist gathering and dispersing like ink splashed by a painter; the viewing platform is the best spot to photograph red leaves and sea of clouds. About 1.5 hours. Why this route: The Natural Gallery is the signature landscape of "China's No. 1 Red Leaf Mountain"; the scene of red leaves and sea of clouds together is breathtaking.
4. Shiba Yuetan Pools

   about 13370 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight

   Tour Eighteen Moon Pools (18 emerald pools strung like beads across the gorge, with beautiful water scenery); if time permits, climb the Xianglu Mountain viewing platform to overlook the mountains; in autumn, the pools reflect red leaves, a feast for the eyes. About 2 hours. Why this route: The water scenery of Eighteen Moon Pools complements the red leaves, and Xianglu Mountain is the high point for overlooking the sea of red leaves.
