## About Hongye Valley Scenic Area

A valley in the Laoye Ridge, a branch of the Changbai Mountains, with graceful peaks and lush vegetation, worth a visit in every season. Spring brings green fields, summer thundering waterfalls, autumn red leaves and winter ice and snow. Yet the most captivating is the autumn colour, rich and powerfully striking; it was ranked third among China’s Top Ten Autumn Colours.
