Tourism destination in Sanmenxia for upcoming week-long holiday

Ganshan National Forest Park, with its abundant fauna and flora, has become somewhat famous for its red leaves stretching for dozens of square kilometers when late autumn comes.

Located in Xizhangcun township, the park is near the city of Sanmenxia, Henan province. It covers an area of 4,300 hectares and is divided into several scenic areas, each with a distinct view and palette depending on the season. Some of the most popular areas include Butterfly Valley, Red Leaf Viewing Area, Water Amusement Area, Forest Recreation Area, and Ganshan Mountain Culture Area.

The Red Leaf Viewing Area comes into its peak time for tourists when autumn has covered the whole area a sea of red leaves.
