Before the mountains are closed for the season, enjoy the red leaves—these visitors can enter Limutai without a ticket. See if you’re on the list! The sky is high and the clouds are light; the autumn breeze brings refreshing coolness, and the layered forests are ablaze with color. It’s the perfect time to climb high and gaze into the distance. With parents now retired and having plenty of free time, why not plan a visit during off-peak hours? Limutai offers free admission to those 50 years old and above! How can you enjoy this free admission? Starting today through October 31, 2019, every Monday through Friday, visitors aged 50 or older can enter Limutai free of charge by presenting their ID. All they need to do is purchase a round-trip shuttle bus ticket (priced at 30 yuan). Limutai resembles an elegant young woman, dressed in her autumn attire, quietly awaiting your arrival. Why not invite a few friends and step into the autumnal mountains and fields, fully savoring nature’s gifts? As you follow the winding mountain path, admire the beautiful autumn scenery along the way while chatting casually about family and life—laughter fills the air, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere. The gentle autumn sun and refreshing breeze make it easy to gaze far into the rolling hills, where the views are truly breathtaking. As a vast protected area of pristine secondary forest, Limutai is home to over 1,000 plant species. With its undulating terrain and multi-layered vegetation, as temperatures drop in late autumn, trees such as five-pointed maple, Chinese wax tree, pagoda tree, Chinese locust, and walnut poplar gradually turn vibrant shades of red, transforming the entire forest into a spectacular tapestry of colorful foliage. The once‑verdant mountains and fields have been painted in hues of yellow and red, while plump fruits hide among the branches and leaves. Golden persimmons glow like lanterns lighting up the hillside, and little squirrels occasionally dart through the woods. With each breath, the heavy, stagnant air seems to clear away, replaced by the fresh, natural scent of grass and leaves. The higher you climb, the cooler the weather becomes. A gentle breeze sweeps away sweat and banishes fatigue. Along the way, the landscape keeps changing—sometimes steep and challenging, other times open and bright—yet always rewarding. A wooden boardwalk winds through the forest, offering unspoiled wilderness charm. Reaching the summit opens up a wide, exhilarating view, with the entire world below bathed in autumn colors. Limutai isn’t a towering mountain, but its trails are smooth and step-free, making it ideal for seniors who enjoy hiking or taking leisurely walks. Here, you’ll often see octogenarians ascending to the peak without assistance or even a cane. Beautiful weather, lovely mountains, happy people—and an even better mood! May this pristine, pollution‑free mountain sanctuary bring you both physical health and inner peace.

Limei Terrace is “scattering gold”! At the end of June and the beginning of July, the Chinese scholar trees at Limei Terrace are in full bloom.

When a breeze blows, tiny yellow flowers drift gently down, landing on visitors’ hair and clothing. Even the soles of your shoes, as you walk by, are left fragrant with the scent of these blooms.
