2025 Wuxi County Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

In late autumn, the earth gradually turns into autumn colors. Since November, the rolling mountains on both sides of Wu Gorge in Chongqing have gradually shed their green coats and put on colorful outfits, and the red leaves have gradually turned red. The cotinus coggygria, Chinese tallow tree, lacquer tree, maple tree and other trees on the land of Bayu turn the entire city into a colorful picture. More than 400 years ago, Ming Dynasty poet Lu Qian once went rafting in Wu Gorge. He wrote the lines "The clouds are white over the flying gorge, and the shadows of the trees are red over the river", which describes the unique beauty of the red leaves in the Three Gorges. Today, the autumn leaves add a unique landscape to the city, colorful and brilliant like clouds. Wushan in Chongqing has a unique topography and landforms. The area above 1,100 meters above sea level is surrounded by high mountains and canyons. Due to the unique mountain climate, the red leaves begin to turn red from mid-October every year, and the viewing period lasts for about 3 months. There are nearly 200 varieties such as Cotinus coggygria, Tung oilseed oil tree, and Acer rubrum, with a total area of ​​more than 1.2 million mu, of which 200,000 mu are concentrated in areas for viewing. At present, the red leaves in areas above 1,000 meters above sea level have gradually turned red, which is the best time to appreciate the red leaves. The red leaves all over the mountains and fields are as red as fire, blooming in groups, covering the canyons and gullies, as if they are a burning flame. The beautiful red leaves in Wushan are breathtaking and intoxicating. In mid-November, the red leaves make the Lanying Grand Canyon even more charming and beautiful. The red decorations spread across the mountains, making you feel relaxed and happy, and you can only respond to the enthusiasm of the red color all over the mountains with the sound of your heartbeat. When you climb to a high place and look into the distance, you will see towering mountains shrouded in mist, revealing a hint of dark red, as if it is a solemn and elegant Chinese painting for people to appreciate. On the other side of the stream, the towering cliffs are looming in the mist, while the red leaves and characteristic buildings nearby complement each other, making people feel like they are in a painting. You can also take a boat tour of the Little Three Gorges, admire the red maples, and experience a different kind of customs. The "hundred-mile red carpet" on Wu Gorge has been rolled out, come and check in and leave behind beautiful memories!

The weather has been lovely these past few days. I planned a week-long trip and finally set off today, driving to the banks of the Daning River for camping. I invited three friends, and we each prepared ingredients and equipment for a close encounter with nature by the Daning River. It was about an hour's drive from home. I had done some research beforehand and chosen a specific location, right under the bridge to Ningchang Ancient Town, where two rivers meet. The river beach at this location is wide and flat, and we could use the pre-built stoves. The area under the bridge also offers shade, which is great for us ladies. When we arrived, we found that the river beach was just as described in the guide. It was very wide. We arrived a little after 10:00, and there were already more than 20 cars parked there, with various groups showing off their cooking skills. We parked our car and started to set up. Next to us, a group of 30 or 40 people were busy at work. After a chat, we learned that they were from the Asia Hotel on a team-building activity. I jokingly said to their manager, "Maybe we should stay at the Asia Hotel next time so we can get a free meal today!" The manager readily agreed and asked how many of us there were, then brought us fruit and drinks. They were very enthusiastic and friendly. I thought to myself, "With such a manager, the hotel service must be excellent." The manager took us to see their stoves. There were four stoves, and each one had someone busy at work, everything organized and efficient. The aroma of food wafted over. The sun was getting stronger, but they worked hard under the scorching sun with smiles on their faces, looking relaxed and comfortable. Around 13:00, it was time for lunch. I was stunned when I walked to the table. This wasn't camping; it was like a restaurant! There were seven or eight dishes, including stewed ribs, stir-fried greens, and dry pot, all served in large bowls. The rice with bacon, potatoes, and preserved meat was especially delicious. I ate three bowls, the first time I had tasted such unique and delicious food. After 15:00, their group gradually left. My friends and I set up our canopy and lay down leisurely, listening to the sound of the river lapping against the shore and watching the fish dance freely in the water. Slowly, I drifted off to sleep. I'm very grateful to the friends from the Asia Hotel for giving us such a unique camping experience. I wish them all the best.

Lingpai Stone, Wuxi, Chongqing, a 453-meter-long zigzag road with 18 turns. | After visiting Ningchang Ancient Town, I took a short break and then drove to the most beautiful scenery in Wuxi, a famous mountain road for self-driving tours - "Lingpai Stone". This road is 453 meters long, but it has 18 steep "hairpin turns", all of which are sharp turns, and the first 6 of the 18 turns are super steep slopes. Unlike ordinary continuous hairpin mountain roads, the distance between the hairpin turns of the "Lingpai Stone" road is very short, with only 20 to 30 meters between each turn. The dangerous terrain and unique configuration of the "Lingpai Stone" road have attracted many self-driving enthusiasts to challenge it. It is said that many experienced drivers cannot make it through the 18 turns in one go. In addition, some sections of this mountain road are paved with gravel, which has limited grip and is more likely to slip on rainy days. Before 2021, the edge of the road was not even equipped with guardrails, and even most experienced drivers who have driven through the 108 turns of Mount Everest and the 72 turns of the Nujiang River are deterred by the "Lingpai Stone" road... I wonder if anyone who has been to the "Lingpai Stone" has noticed that there is a leisure trail next to the entrance of this mountain road, which seems to have been built in the past two years. Out of curiosity, I walked a few hundred meters along the trail, which was surrounded by cliffs, and the wind was really strong on the edge of the cliff. I was originally tired, but after being baptized by the strong wind, I suddenly felt very awake. It is not known how long this leisure trail is and where it leads, because I had to rush to Chengkou County, so I did not stay here for long. Drive to "Lingpai Stone" in Wuxi County, which is only 14 kilometers away from "Ningchang Ancient Town". Be sure not to navigate to the wrong place, as there is more than one place called "Lingpai Stone" in Wuxi. If the "Lingpai Stone" you navigate to does not have a dozen winding turns when you zoom in on the map, then it is not the legendary mountain road.

Ningchang Ancient Town has a history of more than 5,000 years, of which more than 4,000 years have been spent on salt production. It is precisely because of such a long history of salt production that Ningchang Ancient Town is also known as my country's ancient salt capital, which is absolutely well-deserved. The long-term active salt-making economy has nurtured the ancient town's profound salt culture. Due to its significant historical and cultural value, "Ningchang Ancient Town" was named a famous historical and cultural town in China, and there are many cultural relics protection units in the town. However, since the late 1990s, "Ningchang Ancient Town" has gradually declined, with houses left vacant and population lost. In the past ten years, the decay of the ancient town has been accelerating. The biggest reason why Ningchang Ancient Town has been facing the dilemma of decay in recent years is that it has lost the industrial support to maintain its vitality and popularity, and has fallen into a vicious cycle of industrial hollowing out, population loss, town decline and decaying houses. In the past, the large-scale traditional salt-making industry made the "Ningchang Ancient Town" prosperous, but faced with competition from the modern salt-making industry, Ningchang's traditional salt-making method was inefficient, costly, and had no market competitiveness. Without the industry, it would be impossible to retain the population. A large number of the original 2,000-plus residents of the ancient town have left, and now there are only a few hundred people left. The ancient town has become quiet and even dilapidated. Searching for the rise and fall of "Ningchang Ancient Town", it changed from a salt-making town to an abandoned mountain village. It prospered for thousands of years relying on salt spring resources and salt-making industry, but eventually fell into complete decline... "Ningchang Ancient Town", which has stood for more than 5,000 years, has quietly watched its changes over the years. Nowadays, you can only come here to see the stilt houses and walk on the bluestone roads. Although it is dilapidated, it is still a paradise. 📍Detailed address: Self-driving navigation Ningchang Ancient Town

One side is close to the steep cliff, and the other side is a deep abyss, like a jade belt binding the cliff "Tiger's Mouth." The Beauty of Chinese Painting Mountain From the entrance of the Sky Road, drive five kilometers in the other direction to reach Chinese Painting Mountain. The peaks here rise straight from the bottom of the valley to the clouds, spectacular and beautiful. The straight and steep mountains seem to have been cut by a knife, resembling the Heavenly Gate, with beautiful names such as Heavenly Gate Chu Kai, Heavenly Gate Dong Chu, and Heavenly Gate Lan Yue.

Yintiaoling Nature Reserve is located in Wuxi County, Chongqing. It is the remnant of the Shennongjia virgin forest. The main peak, Yintiaoling, is 2,796.8 meters above sea level, making it the highest point in Chongqing. It is known as the "highest peak in Chongqing." The Yintiaoling forest area is the only virgin forest in Chongqing. Hiking route: The round-trip route is about 18 km, with an elevation gain of about 1,400 meters. Route highlights: The most beautiful thing in winter is, of course, the snow-covered virgin forest. It is incredibly dreamy, with the entire forest covered in silver. Sometimes you walk through the forest, sometimes through open meadows, waist-high bamboo forests, and snow that crunches underfoot. There are undulating mountains and a sea of clouds in the distance. Of course, the most important thing is the special significance of Yintiaoling as the "highest peak in Chongqing." Important reminder: This route has a large elevation gain and starts with a steep climb, so it is not suitable for everyone. It is recommended that those with some hiking experience go with a companion. Recommended mandatory equipment for this season: quick-drying base layer, fleece, down jacket, windbreaker, fleece-lined softshell pants, waterproof hiking boots, warm hat, gloves, wool socks, sunglasses, raincoat, crampons, headlamp, 2 trekking poles, gaiters (choose those with knee pads, as the descent is also 1,400 meters, which can be hard on the knees, so be sure to protect them). You must bring a sturdy trash bag and do not leave any trash in the virgin forest!

Lanying Grand Canyon is located in Yintiaoling, a national nature reserve. It is located in Lanying Township and Shuangyang Township of Wuxi County, and borders Wushan County and Shenlongjia of Hubei Province. The canyon is more than 100 kilometers long. The narrowest part of the valley bottom is only 13 meters. The average depth is more than 1,500 meters, and the deepest part is more than 2,400 meters. It is known as "the deepest valley in Asia". [OrangeHeart] Lanying Grand Canyon - with a total length of more than 50 kilometers, the highest point is 2,796.8 meters above sea level and the lowest point is 348 meters. In such a short distance, the drop is an astonishing 2,000 meters. For this reason, it is undoubtedly the deepest valley in Chongqing. The narrowest part of the canyon is only 13 meters wide, with towering cliffs on both sides and the blue sky as thin as a line, giving the impression of "one man guarding the pass against ten thousand men". [OrangeHeart] The cliff-hanging road in Lanying Township is 1,200 meters long and less than 3 meters wide. It is close to the steep cliff on one side and a deep abyss on the other. It took local villagers 4 years and 3 months to hammer and chisel it inch by inch between the cliffs with a vertical height difference of more than 1,000 meters. It ended the history of villagers climbing the cliffs to enter and exit the village, and created the spirit of road construction by splitting mountains and fighting against heaven and earth. The touching story of road carving behind it has been featured on CCTV many times, and it has quickly become an Internet celebrity road, attracting many tourists to check in. It is also praised by tourists as the road to wealth on the cliff. 📍Location: Lanying Township, Wuxi County, Chongqing There is no charge at present, and you can drive there by yourself. However, when passing by the foot of the next mountain, I found that the visitor center was being built there. When walking in the canyon, I also saw a sign for the sightseeing bus stop. It is estimated that in the future, there may be an application for scenic spot rating and charging. Although mature commercial scenic spots can provide more complete services, it is more convenient to enter freely and park at any time.

It has a unique historical and cultural background! It is said that a long time ago, there were many magical legends in this mysterious forest. One legend tells of a brave hunter who met a glowing elf in the colorful forest, and the elf led him to a place with endless treasures! Don't forget to bring the following equipment for your autumn hike: Comfortable hiking shoes, which must be non-slip and breathable, so your feet will be comfortable all day! Quick-drying clothes, which dry quickly and keep you dry! Windbreaker, which is windproof and warm, and can cope with changing weather. Backpack, which should be large enough to hold essential items. Sunglasses, which protect your eyes and make you look cool. Sunscreen, which prevents sunburn. Water bottle, which allows you to stay hydrated. Bring enough water and snacks to replenish your energy at any time! Pay attention to the weather changes and route signs, and don't get lost!

| Daning River. ◾️Daning River, originating from Xintiankan in the northwest of Wuxi County, Chongqing, traverses the Yunyan Gorge between Bashan and Wushan, crossing Wuxi and Wushan counties under Chongqing's jurisdiction. Daning River is renowned as the world's first stream. Along the riverbanks, there are Miaoxia, Scissors Gorge, Ningchang Ancient Town, Lingwu Cave, Crescent Gorge, Jixin Ridge, etc. The scenery is beautiful with secluded gorges, ancient temples and towns, and picturesque landscapes. ◾️Scissors Peak is located on the west bank of Daning River, 5 kilometers from the county town. It is the only way from Wuxi County to Ningchang Ancient Town. The two peaks stand opposite each other, rising abruptly from the ground, resembling scissors, piercing straight into the sky. Scissors Peak boasts beautiful scenery, with mountains and waters connected. You can walk to the plank road at the foot of the peak via Lianxin Bridge. The plank road at the foot of the peak extends from Wuxi County to Ningchang Ancient Town. Above are sheer cliffs, and below are the surging river waters. There is no hustle and bustle, no pollution, no noise, immersing you in the mountains and waters.

| Ningchang Ancient Town. ◾️ Ningchang Ancient Town is located about 10 kilometers from Wuxi County. This is a thousand-year-old town, known as the ancient salt capital. It is a town with a salty flavor, born because of salt, prospered because of salt, and declined because of salt. ◾️ Ningchang Ancient Town has a history of salt production for more than 4000 years. "During the Yu and Xia periods, the Wuguo prospered due to the salt industry," and Ningchang Ancient Town in Wuxi County became one of the top ten early salt production sites in China. It is the birthplace and cradle of ancient human civilization in the Three Gorges area, known as the world's "ancient salt capital" and the "ancestor" of the world's handicraft workshops. ◾️ Ningchang Ancient Town is located on one side of the Daning River. People built houses along the narrow area, forming a long street of 7 li, commonly known as "Seven Li Half Street." Most of the buildings in the town are bamboo and wood structures, with an ancient charm. Most of them are built along the river, supported by slanted wooden piles, and these suspended houses are called stilted buildings. The Daning River passes under the stilted buildings, dividing the ancient town into two. There are three suspension bridges on the river, connecting the ancient town with the road on the opposite side. ◾️ The salt production of Ningchang Ancient Town once accounted for 20% of Sichuan's salt production. During the Kangxi to Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty, Ningchang Town had 336 salt furnaces, reaching its peak period. At its peak, Ningchang Town accommodated 20,000 people. The salt boiling pots operated day and night, and the salt transport boats occupied the river, presenting a prosperous scene. Nowadays, Ningchang Ancient Town has less than a dozen households, and the prosperity has faded, leaving it desolate and bleak. Wandering through the ancient town, you can travel through a thousand years of time and feel the faded glory. ◾️ Travel Tips: Opening hours: Open all year round Ticket information: Free Transportation information: It is recommended to drive by yourself and navigate directly to Ningchang Ancient Town.

Departing from Wuxi to the Red Dam, ascend the mountain and reach the summit to see the towering mountains, resembling the Wengfeng Forest in Xingyi, Guizhou, but this is Wuxi, the beautiful scenery is always on the road.

Clouds amidst the sea of flowers, highland meadows and lakes, camping and even horse riding are available. Goodbye Red Dam, goodbye Wuxi, traveling on national roads and rural roads, crossing the mountains and waters of Wuxi.

| Wuxi Hongchiba is really a hidden gem!! Wuxi Hongchiba, a natural highland grassland, nicknamed "Little Western Sichuan", I think it is in no way inferior to the overly developed Fairy Mountain, it's just farther away from the main city~ The biggest advantage and disadvantage is that it's too pristine, with uncarved beauty everywhere, and there's basically no management within the scenic area, no excessive man-made facilities and equipment, all the scenery you see is a gift from Mother Nature. Whether it's a cloudy day or a sunny day, you can enjoy a different kind of unique and charming scenery~ The joy of Hongchiba is in its sea of flowers, its grasslands, its galloping horses!! Location: Wuxi Hongchiba National Forest Park

Chongqing Wuxi Lan Ying Grand Canyon Over five years, villagers carved out a cliffside road with their hands, a sky road hewn from the mountainside with a vertical distance of 1700 meters from the mountain top to the ground. The scenic area does not require an entrance fee, so the infrastructure is relatively underdeveloped. There is an observation deck halfway up the mountain, and the restroom is one level below the deck. There is only one road in and out of the scenic area. Entering from the Lan Ying Canyon entrance is downhill, and you will pass through a township on the way to the canyon floor. In the evening, our group of 15 people, both adults and children, had the fortune to stay in the home of the most beautiful highway people (Qingyun Mountain Villa) for 100 yuan a night. It's modest but sleepable. The best-conditioned homestay is the Sky Road Homestay, which is very popular and requires advance reservation. At the top of the mountain ⛰️, farmhouses in the yard also allow you to bring your own tents for camping. Along the road, many people ride motorcycles 🏍️ and choose to pitch their own tents. The next morning, we drove from the township and returned along the road for about 7 kilometers to the canyon cliffside road. The cliffside mountain road is narrow, making it difficult for vehicles to pass each other. On holidays, if you can get up early, try to set out around 6 or 7 a.m. If you have poor nerves or driving skills and are not used to driving on winding mountain roads, novice drivers should proceed with caution! After returning from Lan Ying Grand Canyon to Wushan city to refuel, we continued towards the cliffside road Xiaozhuang Village.

I often travel to Wuxi for business, and I used to switch hotels frequently. Generally, the hotels in Wuxi are quite old, especially in terms of hygiene and service, which really aren't praiseworthy. By chance, I learned about the Aixiya Hotel and decided to give it a try with a skeptical attitude, but it exceeded my expectations. Firstly, the hotel's location is convenient, easy to find, with supermarkets, dining, entertainment, and more nearby, which is especially handy. The hotel also has a parking lot and charging stations, which makes it even more convenient and stands out among many local hotels in Wuxi. Secondly, the hotel has high floors with a broad view. Whether looking at the river or the mountains, the scenery is absolutely fantastic. Due to the high floors, there is hardly any noise at night, which is particularly quiet and satisfies my need for deep sleep. It's just great. Thirdly, the hotel's decoration is particularly impressive, elegant yet understated, but not luxurious. The fragrance of a star hotel makes one feel particularly comfortable. Lastly, the hotel's service is especially outstanding. The front desk is very enthusiastic and patient, offering luggage storage, water, and snacks, which are treatments I can enjoy every time. It feels like coming home. The rooms are not only large but also meticulously clean, almost spotless, and the mattresses are very comfortable. According to the front desk lady, they are Yalan mattresses, which indeed provide a fantastic sleep. For someone like me who travels frequently, finding a place that feels like home is important. From now on, whether I'm in Wuxi for business or tourism, I will only choose the Aixiya Hotel and will also recommend it to my friends.
