My favorite places to visit are Golden Whip Creek and Huangshi Village. Walking along Golden Whip Creek in August, with temperatures approaching 40 degrees Celsius, was truly refreshing. The geology here is truly unique and definitely worth a visit.
Today's Tianmen Mountain experience: The weather was nice, though partly cloudy. We chose Route A, which takes the cable car directly up from the city. I recommend buying a VIP pass to avoid waiting in line, and it's important to arrive early. We arrived at 8:30 AM, and there wasn't much of a line. The cable car ride takes half an hour. After getting off the cable car, you can choose between the East and West routes; the East route is slightly shorter, while the West route is longer. My younger brother wanted to see the Ghost Valley Plank Road and the cave where Guiguzi is said to have practiced [tears burst into laughter], so he chose the West route. I went for the Forest Cable Car (Figure 3), which allows you to ride both the East and West routes. This fully open cable car is quite refreshing, with a cool mountain breeze! The West route was completely covered in clouds all the way to the highest point. Once the clouds cleared, I took a panoramic photo of Zhangjiajie (Figure 4). Then we took the 12 escalators to Tianmen Mountain Square, where we took Figure 5. We queued for photos, which cost 25 yuan each [tears burst into laughter]. Since we were already here, we might as well take a group photo! We had dinner at the internet-famous restaurant Dadu Laoyucun. We ordered the signature dishes, Sanxiaguo (Three-in-a-Pot) and Dagupi (Drum Skin). They were too oily and spicy, and I couldn't get used to them [bursts into laughter]. Zhangjiajie has five world records: the longest passenger cable car, the winding mountain road with the most bends (99), the longest tunnel escalator, the world's highest natural through-mountain cave, and the longest glass plank road... Anyway, I didn't tackle the 999 steps today [bursts into laughter] #TianmenshanSixHours

The national park is absolutely amazing, the views are great and the buses to get around the park are very convenient.
Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan National Forest Park is quite good. The scenery inside is very beautiful. The main attractions are the Ten-Li Long Corridor, Golden Whip Stream, Yangjiajie, Yuanjiajie, and Tianzi Mountain. It took a whole day to walk around and the scenery is very beautiful.

The scenery was beautiful. We were the first group to reach the Red Cloud Golden Summit. We didn't have to queue up and saw the clear blue sky and the endless sea of clouds. However, the weather changed quickly and it was foggy at 9 o'clock.
The first fairy mountain in Guizhou, the weather was not good when I went there, it was foggy and I couldn't see anything. Fortunately, I took a few photos when the fog dissipated for a while, otherwise it would have been a wasted trip. I suggest everyone to check the weather before going, as bad weather really affects the experience

Monumental natural arches. Makes you feel real small. The path is straightforward and easy to walk and enjoy the views.
This is very beautiful. It takes two hours to take the elderly to the Tiansheng Three Bridges and one and a half hours to the Difeng. When we went there, we were still worried that we would not have enough time. Here is my suggestion: it is best to hire a car to go to the Difeng first and then to the Tianyuan Three Bridges, so that there will be fewer people to play in the opposite direction.

It's a very different experience. The beautiful scenery of the city is at your feet, and you feel like you've been brought into a movie. Many movies were filmed here, and it is the most important check-in spot for Chongqing tourists.
The Yangtze River Cableway is a must-try, a unique feature of the mountain city of Chongqing. It was once the main mode of public transportation between the two areas of Chongqing, solving the problems of ferries being affected by weather and bus transfers being inconvenient, and was known as the "Mountain City Sky Bus."

Very good, very suitable for a family of four. This ticket can be refunded at any time. Thank you for the excellent travel service. Very good, very ...
It is still worth going. You can go for a cup of milk tea, and you can play all day after shopping. It is recommended to bring your own dry grain, a bottle of mineral water is enough, and there is a place for free water. [View] There are many types of animals, and you can see giant pandas, zebras, rhinos, etc. [Fun] Animals are very cute [Cost-effective] Super high, adult tickets are only 25r, student tickets are half price

It was very good. Not as tiring as people say online. We're not the athletic type, but with two adults and two children, we were able to make do. However, we used all transportation, especially the escalators, which were incredibly cost-effective. If things didn't work out, there were sedan chairs. The scenic area is worth it. We entered the park at 8:00 am and descended a little after 11:00 am. We didn't visit the Difeng. We wouldn't have been able to do it in the afternoon. We're not usually active in our family. We walked and stopped. The scenery was breathtaking. About 14,000 steps in total. Worth it.
From June 22 to 23, the fourth "Cold Fair" promotion event hosted by Enshizhou Culture and Tourism Bureau opened in Chongqing. This cultural and tourism feast with the theme of "See Enshi, Cool a Summer", and the invitation of "22 ℃", through flash interaction, cultural and tourism promotion, Non-legacy exhibitions and other forms, to Chongqing citizens to send summer invitations. I am waiting for you in Enshi Grand Canyon!

It's very beautiful, with plenty of food to eat outside, and the prices at the stalls are very cheap. Yellow peaches cost ten yuan for five pounds, which is the most affordable price among the scenic spots I visited in recent days. Unfortunately, it's not convenient to carry them when traveling. The lighting ceremony inside at night is really beautiful. There are many separate fees in the scenic area. They are not expensive, but there are many of them. They are all a bit similar. I felt dizzy and wanted to vomit after playing with my children.
It's good to go in before 16:30 and walk around until the evening. You can eat and eat along the way. If you are tired, you can sit in any store to rest. There are many things to eat. The performance is still worth watching, but you have to catch the performance time.

Fenghuang Ancient Town is very large and is divided into two parts by the Tuojiang River. It is located in the Xiangxi area at the junction of Chongqing, Guizhou, Guizhou and Hubei. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has pleasant scenery. The former residences of celebrities, restaurants, homestays, bars and beverages are scattered throughout the ancient town. I personally think it should be ranked among the top ancient towns in China and I recommend it.
Fenghuang Ancient Town, formerly known as Zhenxian City, covers approximately 10 square kilometers and is located east of the Wuling Mountains and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. It gets its name from the green hills that resemble a phoenix with outstretched wings. The ancient town is home to 28 ethnic groups, including the Miao, Han, and Tujia. Over 120 traditional Ming and Qing dynasty dwellings and 68 cultural relics remain, with bluestone streets and stilt houses along the Tuojiang River forming its iconic landscape.
Key attractions include:
Stilt House Clusters: These wooden structures, built along the Tuojiang River, embody the distinctive characteristics of Xiangxi folk houses.
Ancient City Towers: The well-preserved east gate, Shengheng Gate, and the north gate, Bihui Gate, are remnants of the Qing Dynasty stone city defense system.
Cultural Relics: 68 cultural relics and historic buildings, including the former residences of Shen Congwen and Xiong Xiling, showcase the diverse cultures of Han, Miao, and Tujia.

How can old Chongqing people not come to Hongyadong!
Endless beauty, with folk buildings with historical heritage on one side and high-rise buildings of the new era on the other, showing the uniqueness of Chongqing. As a Shanghainese, I feel that the beauty is not inferior to the Bund. There are always a lot of people every time I go there, and there are also many hot pot restaurants around, so I must try it.
Chongqing has mountains and waters, and I personally like this city very much.
Hongyadong has many special scenic spots, such as the main sculpture of "Memory Mountain City" on the 11th floor, which represents the mountain city culture. The "Hongya Dripping Green" on the 4th floor has flying pearls and splashing jade, and the scenery varies in different seasons. The "Reunion 1980" block on the 5th floor allows people to travel back to the 1980s. There are also the legendary statues of Zhiyan River and Han Que, and the night view is even more dazzling and charming, just like the real version of the scene of "Spirited Away". Convenient transportation, Metro Lines 1 and 6, and multiple bus routes. There are many delicious foods around.
