It's definitely worth a visit; the park has a beautiful environment and you can easily spend two hours there. The pandas are all sleeping in the early morning. It's a great place to bring children to get close to nature; they could easily spend a whole day there!
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 😄

Yichang is definitely a hidden gem of a tourist city in Hubei. During the May Day holiday, a road trip along the G348 Three Gorges Geological Highway offered breathtaking scenery all the way. The Three Gorges Family Scenic Area is an absolute must-see, with its magnificent gorges, clear waters, and the unique Tujia ethnic minority performances of the traditional wedding lament and boat tracker demonstrations. These live performances set against the backdrop of the mountains and rivers create a truly immersive experience! Highly recommended! 👍
It was fantastic! We went straight for the top-of-the-line option. The top deck is definitely different. Before, the Qingjiang Gallery was open-air, but this one is indoors with 270-degree panoramic glass. The environment is great, and you can even change clothes, though you'll have to be quick to grab the best ones! There's also complimentary tea, drinks, bread, and pastries.

Chongqing Happy Valley is quite fun, and even more kid-friendly than Shanghai's Happy Valley. The kids had a blast, and my girlfriends had a blast too. There's even a makeup area! The NPCs there are so pretty and cool!
Highly recommended! Chongqing Happy Valley! Whether it's Halloween 🎃👻 or just any other time!
Let's go!
Okay, here's my review of Chongqing Happy Valley, condensed to under 500 words:
Chongqing Happy Valley Highlights 🎢

Things to Note ⚠️
· Physically challenging: The park is built on a hillside, and the entire ride involves climbing a mountain 😫. Be sure to wear comfortable sneakers! 👟
· Long queues: Popular rides often require a 1-2 hour wait on holidays. We recommend planning ahead using the official app 📱.
· Weather: Summer is hot 🥵, so be sure to wear sunscreen. Winter is cloudy and rainy 🌧️, so some rides may be closed.
Helpful Tips 🗺️
· Visit on a weekday for a less crowded experience.
· Go for the featured rides as soon as the park opens to save time in line.
· Bring your own sealed snacks and water; food and beverage prices are relatively high.

This magnificent national project, though not yet operational, is a testament to the arduousness of its construction and the sacrifices of the people—truly awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring. However, several photo spots occupy prime locations within the main scenic area, with people rushing in without queuing, claiming it's free or free of charge. This is very unpleasant. Hopefully, such a meaningful scenic spot won't be negatively impacted by these commercial tactics.
This place is relatively easier to visit and it doesn’t take much time. It can be reached from Fuling North station, and connected via taxi, or bus. I recommend to take taxi or book a shuttle bus because the public bus is infrequent, may be combined with Wuling mountain. The facility can be empty at other times outside the time slot, but it becomes crowded once the tour starts. It’s for those who like engineering architecture and history. There are no English tour guide, but QR code with English translation + audio guide is available. The procedure is to take a free shuttle bus to the ticket inspection area, and then take the same shuttle bus back after it’s finished

It's definitely worth visiting. Compared to the Grand Canyon, this is the least strenuous walking tour (the scenery in Enshi really does require some walking). Take the shuttle bus from Parking Lot 1 to the scenic area entrance. Inside, there's a glass walkway. After crossing it, you walk up and down the left side of the canyon cliff, mostly downwards. There are many interesting rock formations along the way – quite a few. At the bottom of the canyon, there's green water; the weather suddenly cleared, making the water look beautiful. Then you take a boat into the cave. After exiting, you climb over 300 steps to take an elevator, which leads to the scenic area exit. The exit is different from the entrance!
The shuttle bus first goes to the train station, then to Parking Lot 2, and finally to Parking Lot 1.
However, I bought all the magic carpet tickets but didn't ride them in the end; I don't know how to complete the route.
This whole trip takes 2.5 hours. It's relatively easy compared to other places. If you walk the whole way, it would probably take at least an hour longer.
The valleys of the Earth's Core are deep and green, their sedimentation over hundreds of millions of years captivating you. The water in the Earth's Core Valley is clear and green, like a blue gem fallen into the heart of the earth.

You can drive into the scenic area. The speed limit is 20 km/h throughout. The famous "Instagrammable" bridge has been renovated. We went through it twice. Then we took some photos on the mountain.
After crossing the "Instagrammable" bridge, the subsequent water crossing felt even more thrilling and interesting.
I went there during the May Day holiday. There were relatively more people and cars, but the scenic area was well managed and everything was in good order. The floating bridge on the car was quite safe, not as exciting as I imagined. Instead, speeding across the stream made the adults and children in the car scream constantly. The scenery was nice👍

I'll definitely be back with my kids next time. This place is perfect for a family outing. After entering the park, my kids had so much fun that I couldn't stop them. They were wearing the little dinosaur costumes provided by the scenic area and paraded around the scenic area. They were so cute. The special effects in the scenic area were also very good, with petals, bubbles, smoke, and flames. It was really well-made. With so much fun for just one ticket, it's no wonder they say it's a "must-see"! It's definitely worth it!
I initially thought the entrance fee was a bit pricey, but afterward, I exclaimed it was totally worth it! I saw the top-notch show "Zhangjiajie Eternal Love," had a super cool foam and water splashing experience, watched a thrilling fire pot show, interacted with NPCs playing mini-games and won tons of silver bills, which I redeemed for a blind box gift. I also enjoyed the street performances... The entertainment was so plentiful and intense, it was a non-stop experience from opening to closing!

The Chongqing China Three Gorges Museum, also known as the Chongqing Museum, was formerly the Southwest Museum, established in March 1951. The museum consists of five venues: the main building, the Chongqing Baiheliang Underwater Museum, the Chongqing Soong Ching Ling Memorial Hall, the Tushan Kiln Site, and the Chongqing Three Gorges Cultural Relics Science and Technology Protection Center. It has formed a distinctive collection series including "ancient human specimens, Three Gorges cultural relics, Ba-Yu bronzes, Han Dynasty cultural relics, Southwest ethnic minority cultural relics, anti-Japanese war cultural relics from the rear area, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and guqin (ancient Chinese stringed instruments)".
Stepping into the Chongqing Museum is like stepping into the long history of Ba-Yu. Bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties bear the patina of time, relics from the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression tell of wartime, and the Three Gorges rocks still bear the marks of rivers. The exhibition hall design cleverly integrates the mountain city's topography, and every step tells a story. A swipe across the digital screen brings millennia of culture to life, and you'll leave feeling unsatisfied, filled with a new appreciation for this land.
Would you like me to compile a list of the Chongqing Museum's core exhibits and recommend the best time to visit?

Whether you're seeking visual spectacle, escaping the summer heat, or yearning for a refreshing and rejuvenating nature journey, this place can fulfill all your imaginations about nature. Summer is highly recommended to experience the ultimate coolness of "Chongqing 40℃, canyon 20℃," while simultaneously feeling the majestic grandeur of "China's No. 1 Dynamic Canyon."
It's a five-star scenic area. The road there is a winding mountain road, but the road conditions are good. The scenic area's transportation facilities are well-planned and constructed. The scenery at the lowest point of the canyon is average, but there are monkeys playing on the mountain and things may fall down.

Chongqing is a city filled with skyscrapers, so walking among the clouds must be a unique experience. Walking along the outer ring road is especially thrilling. There are also plenty of selfie booths along the way.
Great service with even more amazing views and definitely worth the prices
