Step into the 10,000-mu (667-hectare) primeval maple forest at Shazipo Town in southwest China's Guizhou Province this early winter, and you'll feel like you're entering a vibrant feast of color. It's a bright highlight of the season.

Shazipo has a subtropical humid monsoon climate with distinct seasons and abundant rainfall. The warm, wet weather helps maples thrive. Local authorities have also protected the forest by reducing human disturbance, letting the forest grow naturally.

Thanks to unique natural conditions and careful ecological protection, this maple forest has become a top early winter check-in spot.
