It's pretty refreshing to recharge your energy after a long month. However, make sure to keep fit before taking a trip here. Otherwise you will face a nightmare after the trip haha. Ps: you can consider to skip Longshuixia since the vibes between two places are likely similar.

The cable car trip was amazing — I highly recommend you try it.

Tickets are 24 yuan on Ctrip, 25 yuan on-site. The interior is very green, divided into different areas, with pandas, elephants, lions, tigers, deer, alpacas, various snakes, goldfish… I don't really like visiting zoos, I only came because my family does. The pandas were lying around and didn't seem to move much, and the elephants' poop was huge, hahaha 😄

The Qutang Gorge is truly magnificent. This trip, with the privilege of climbing to the summit of the Three Gorges at an altitude of 1388 meters, was a truly enriching life experience. Absolutely recommended, but it requires a certain level of physical fitness.

Absolutely fantastic, a must-do activity! The panoramic view of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers in Chongqing at night is breathtaking! The only downside was that the three of us didn't know how to get to the pier to board the boat. Because of time constraints, we were forced to pay an extra 60 yuan for directions! Actually, we later learned that the pier was right outside the first floor of Hongyadong! Don't be silly and not know this!

I originally planned to walk back to the hotel, but when I got to Hongyadong, I saw there were still many tourists, so I went for a stroll. I ate a small bowl of ice cream; the girl selling it was very enthusiastic and cheerful, and it instantly lifted my spirits. I also went to see the Qianmen Bridge, which was very crowded with tourists, some taking pictures of the bridge, and others taking pictures of Hongyadong.

A truly perfect recommendation! Our group of 9 and a half senior citizens chartered a car to explore Chongqing, visiting Fairy Mountain National Forest Park, the Three Natural Bridges, and the Wujiang River Viewpoint (Wujiang Gallery). The experience far exceeded our expectations! The driver's car was not only spotless, but the interior temperature was also perfectly set, making the seniors feel comfortable and at ease from the moment they got in. The driving was also exceptionally smooth throughout the journey, without any bumps or jolting, giving us a great sense of security. He provided detailed explanations of Chongqing's local customs and culture along the way, and the itinerary was well-planned, with perfectly timed stops at each attraction – neither rushed nor overly drawn-out. What's most commendable is that the elderly members of our group tend to be talkative and ask many questions, but the driver was incredibly patient throughout the entire trip. He answered every question, whether it was a repetitive one or a minor inquiry, with great care. At the attractions, he proactively reminded us to be careful where the roads were slippery, to avoid getting lost, and to avoid backtracking. He even explained the tour route clearly and thoroughly. He was considerate and thoughtful in every aspect, ensuring that the elderly had a happy and worry-free trip. Such a wonderful driver deserves double praise!

Good to go, the price in Trip is cheaper than the on-site ticket.

The only way to visit the Baodingshan Stone Carvings is from the visitor center. Arrive at 8:30, take the first bus at 8:50, go to the mountain gate, then take the shuttle bus to the museum, and walk to the stone carvings after that. Make sure to visit before the tour groups finish before 11:00, as there are very few people and you can take photos freely.

The view was beautiful especially at night, although there was way too many people when I visit we found a spot and enjoyed the view.
