Autumn is a season that is very suitable for traveling. Many people will go out for trips during this time. Today, I will talk about some places that are perfect for traveling during this season.

Danba, Sichuan

This is a very quiet and mysterious place. The valleys here become colorful and dazzling in autumn, making it hard to take it all in. There are also dense forests, very comfortable hot springs, and snow-capped mountains. Additionally, there are many ancient watchtowers scattered in various corners.

Gannan, Gansu

Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture is part of Gansu Province and is an autonomous prefecture under the jurisdiction of Gansu Province. It is located at the junction of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Loess Plateau, where the provinces of Gansu, Qinghai, and Sichuan meet. The prefecture is divided into three natural types: the southern Minshan-Di Mountain area with a mild climate, known as one of the 'six major green treasure troves' in China; the eastern hilly and mountainous area, which combines farming and animal husbandry; and the northwestern expansive meadow grassland, one of the 'five major pastoral areas' in China.

Kanas is a Mongolian word meaning 'beautiful, rich, and mysterious.'
