The best viewing time of Wushan red leaves

The best viewing time of Wushan red leaves is 1 1 to 65438+February.

Among them, 65438+February is the best viewing period. If the temperature drops early, it will start to turn red at 5438+00 in June. There are many varieties of red leaves here, mainly cotinus coggygria, butter and maple leaves. Red leaves turn red because they contain carotenoids. With the decrease of temperature and the decomposition of chlorophyll, its color appears.

It is understood that there are nearly 200 varieties of red leaves in Wushan, such as Cotinus coggygria, Sapium sebiferum and Feng Dan, with a total area of over/kloc-0.2 million mu, of which 200,000 mu can be concentrated in pieces for viewing. Due to the unique three-dimensional mountain climate, it turns red every year from the middle of 10, and the viewing period lasts about 3 months.

This year, in addition to the traditional cruise tour of Wuxia Gorge-Fairy Creek, Little Three Gorges and Little Three Gorges, we also specially launched a car tour of Fairy Tianlu, Xiazhuang Tianlu, Shuanglong Fish Head Bay, Guandu Hongyepo, Shi Pei Hongye Dawang and HongGu Ye Temple, panoramic VR videos of many scenic spots with red leaves, such as Little Three Gorges, Fairy Tianlu, Wenfengguan and Tianlu Xiazhuang, and made three red leaf tourist routes in the form of dynamic map videos.

Geological characteristics of Wushan Mountain:

Wushan county is located at the junction of Daba mountain arc structure, eastern Sichuan fold belt and Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan and Guizhou fold belt. The Yangtze River runs east-west, and seven tributaries, such as Daning River and Baolong River, cut down strongly from north to south. The landform is in the form of alternating deep valleys and middle and low mountains, and the terrain fluctuates steeply. The elevation of valley bottom is mostly within 300 meters, and the bank slope facies is the most 1000 meters.

The exposed strata in the area are sedimentary strata, which are exposed from Cambrian to Jurassic, and the Quaternary is scattered, with alternating soft and hard strata, secondary folds and faults, and complex tectonic geological background.

Because Daba Mountain, Wushan Mountain and Qiyao Mountain meet in Wushan County, a typical karst landform is formed, with the lowest elevation of only 73. 1 m and the highest elevation of 2680 m. Located on the Wushan side, the Three Gorges of Daning River is 50 kilometers long and consists of Longmen Gorge, Eighth Five-Year Gorge and Cuidi Gorge.
