In Yakeshi, no autumn trip is complete without a stop at Phoenix Mountain. Elsewhere, you view autumn from a mountaintop; here, you can walk slowly through the woods, sit down when you're tired, and sip a cup of birch sap coffee.

Out in the fields beyond the scenic area, round hay bales dot the golden expanse—and because they look just like Swiss rolls, people now call them “Swiss rolls on the grassland.”

Morning: Yunlong Mountain Villa → Guanbo Pavilion

From Yunlong Mountain Villa, you can walk to Guanbo Pavilion. Leaning on the railing and gazing into the distance, you'll see autumn mountains and waters mirroring each other, forest sea, blue sky, and fresh breeze blending into one—quiet yet expansive, every snapshot wallpaper-worthy. When you've had enough walking, head to the Delamu Equestrian Club for a slow ride beside the golden forest. As the autumn wind brushes past and autumn colors spread underfoot, you feel the vastness and gentleness of the Greater Khingan Range.

Noon: Blueberry Hotel · A Warm Autumn Lunch

After a morning of exploring, it's time to rest at the Blueberry Hotel within the scenic area, where you can enjoy authentic forest fare. Made with fresh local ingredients, the home-style dishes are warm and comforting, well balanced between meat and vegetables—a hearty meal to store up energy for the afternoon.

Afternoon: Blueberry Four Seasons Garden · A Golden Birch Forest All to Yourself

The afternoon is best spent at the Blueberry Four Seasons Garden. In late autumn, the whole forest is serene and quiet—quiet enough to hear the leaves fall, perfect for a slow wander. The highlight is the “Birch Forest Whispers” boardwalk. As you stroll along the wooden path, golden birches line both sides, sunlight falls through the branches in dappled patterns, and the autumn wind rustles the leaves. When you need a break, order a signature birch sap coffee—a rich brew with a hint of sweetness from the forest, a taste you'll only find in the Greater Khingan Range.

In autumn here, there's no need to rush. Ride a horse, drink coffee, zone out in the woods—do whatever feels good.
