Viewing place
Love the evening pavilion, look forward; The place where Aiting is located is not even halfway up Yuelu Mountain. It takes ten minutes to get up. Take the love night pavilion as the photography angle, or look up, the flaming maple leaf scene comes into view. Under sufficient sunlight, the red color of maple leaves is even more dazzling. However, it is also the most crowded place, so if you want to see maple leaves instead of heads, and want to shoot maple leaves instead of heads, you must try to stagger the peak hours of crowds. On weekends, the crowd will be crowded all day. Tuesday and Thursday will be better.
Huangxing Tomb, overlooking; In the upper part of the pavilion, the newly planted maple leaf route from Aiwan Pavilion also passes through Cai E's tomb and Huang Xing's tomb. Looking down from Huangxing Tomb, you can see maple leaves halfway up the mountain. You may also find that not only the maple leaf is red, but also the leaves of other plants are red. In fact, in order to strengthen the fiery red effect of Yuelu Mountain in autumn and winter, the staff of the scenic spot also planted some other red series tree species, such as Liquidambar formosana, jujube, Vitex negundo, and five-pointed maple. Everyone has an impulse to "compete for red".
(3) Overlooking the pavilion across the stone slope, around the stone lake and across the stone slope. This line doesn't pass the Love Night Pavilion. It starts from the stone slope and the stone lake. It is also a good choice for friends who have never walked this road. Relatively speaking, there will be fewer people. The more you climb, the more red maple leaves you will see. It seems that maple leaves have become the most useful power mechanism for people to climb mountains.
