Tosu autumn leaf trees, moonlit mossy ground.
In early autumn, Tanxi Mountain, the emerald green of the mountain is quietly changing color, from pale green to light yellow to dark yellow, and there is a natural blessing in every color difference. "You see, now the mountains are gradually changing color, especially in the past few days when the temperature fluctuates greatly, and the color change can be felt more obviously." The cleaners of Tanxi Mountain are the ones who know best how this mountain is "red".
Tanxi Mountain, located at the intersection of the Taiyi Mountains, has a maximum altitude of 867 meters, with a winding mountain and a handsome mountain. Whether it is playing in the canyon or climbing high and looking into the distance, it has a unique taste. Recently, as mountain forest beauticians, they have reported to their colleagues at the bottom of the mountain almost every day or two about the specific progress of Tanxi Mountain's turning red.
As the most familiar with the changes in the mountain situation, they told reporters that unlike some red leaf scenic spots, the tree species of Tanxi Mountain are relatively rich, so the color of the autumn leaves of the mountain is richer and more layered, and even presents a wonderful perception of "red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple".
In terms of natural landscape alone, Tanxi Mountain has rich and unique resources. High mountains and deep valleys, cliffs, streams and waterfalls, and strange rock caves can be seen everywhere, and Jiulong Pond, Grand Canyon, Beauty Peak, Longfeng Terrace, Upper and Lower Sky Bridges, Zhaoyang Cave, Beauty Cave, Drinking Tiger Spring, etc., constitute a very distinctive, extremely charming landscape scenery.

Cui Xincheng, marketing director of Tanxi Mountain Scenic Area, told reporters that although affected by the temperature at the same time of the year, but basically around October, the color of the autumn leaves of the mountain began to gradually stratify, from October to mid-November, from the bottom of the slope to the cliff, from the ravine to the riverside, a large area of orange red, dark green, sauce purple spread out on both sides of the mountain road, confusing the eyes of travelers, and the tree species dominated by coghus and maple formed a magnificent wave of red leaves. In particular, many of the "peaks and loops" trails are an excellent perspective for enjoying autumn in Tanxi Mountain.
Cui Xincheng gave an example: For example, there is a corridor of red leaves on the winding mountain road next to the legend of the Star Cave; Outside the Beauty Cave, you can also see the red leaves and waves of Crocodile Ridge...... Many niche autumn viewing perspectives are discovered by front-line staff, and with the opportunity of slow sweeping of autumn leaves, the scenic spot will also retain the background color of autumn leaves and the autumn scenery of mountains and rivers for tourists to the greatest extent on the basis of cleanliness and tidiness.
Previously, Tanxi Mountain put forward the concept of "red leaves +", combining red leaves with other forms of business in the scenic spot, forming a variety of autumn leaf viewing methods such as "enjoying red leaves on the glass bridge", "canyon rafting to enjoy red leaves", "wild luxury sojourn to enjoy red leaves", "deep valley cliffs to enjoy red leaves" and so on.
Cui Xincheng said: "Taking the glass bridge as an example, the glass bridge is built on the cliff wall at an altitude of 730 meters, and the bridge deck span is 117 meters. This form of integrating the ace project with the autumn leaves not only provides tourists with a new concept of autumn appreciation, enhances the sense of autumn appreciation, but also promotes cultural tourism consumption to a certain extent. ”

In the fall of 2019, Tanxi Mountain held the first Cliff Red Leaves Festival, and this October, the sixth Cliff Red Leaves Festival will be held. After six years of development and precipitation, climbing the mountain in autumn to enjoy the red leaves all over the mountains has become one of the important travel choices for many local tourists and tourists from Jinan, Qingdao, Beijing, Hebei, Tianjin and other surrounding areas.
The reporter saw on Weibo that there were nearly 20 million readings and discussions on topics related to the Tanxi Mountain Cliff Red Leaves Festival, and searching for "Tanxi Mountain Red Leaves" related videos on the short video platform, high-profile videos abounded.
"In recent years, in order to do a good job in the red leaves of the cliff of Tanxi Mountain, starting from its own content and external marketing, on the one hand, it is deeply cultivated in the content of red leaves, and a variety of ways and scenes of autumn autumn autumn are proposed, which is the integration of the natural landscape of the mountains and the trump card project, on the other hand, starting from the consumption and aesthetic bias of tourists, and digging deep into the highlights and beauty of the cliff red leaves festival in the scenic spot with the power of cultural tourism short video bloggers, and passing it on to more tourists." Cui Xincheng introduced.
The 6th Cliff Red Leaves Festival will officially kick off on October 8, 2024, and the best time to see the autumn leaves is expected to be from mid-October to early November. Pleasant to see the golden autumn, adventure in Zibo, come to Zibo Tanxi Mountain to start a beautiful autumn journey.
