I bought a VIP ticket this time to skip the line and enter the park. The VIP service was excellent. There were VIP service areas at each stage where I could rest and enjoy free snacks, fruit, and mineral water. Huangguoshu Waterfall is a truly breathtaking sight and soul-stirring experience, awe-inspiring as it is the wonders of nature. It was well worth it!
On the first day, we arrived a little after 10:00 AM. Seeing the long line for the Huangguoshu Waterfall shuttle bus, we headed straight for the lower section of Tianxing Bridge. Before we even entered, we heard an announcement that the cable car was under maintenance and the entire journey would take three hours, so our elderly family member skipped it. It did take three hours. Because of the crowds, there were long lines to enter and exit Tianxing Cave and Yinlianzhui Pond, which added at least an hour to our visit. Afterward, we ate and took a nap. In the afternoon, we went to Doupotang. The next morning, we headed back to the scenic area to visit Huangguoshu Waterfall at 8:00 AM. The escalator package for the waterfall was easy, and with Doupotang, a half-day was more than enough. Since we couldn't get a reservation for Water Curtain Cave, reservations were waived for VIPs. The observation deck closest to the main entrance was inaccessible without a reservation or VIPs. 🌝🌝 Tianxing Bridge is not very friendly to the elderly and children, with many steps and a long, narrow path. Yinlianzhui Pond was nice, but the cable car might be a bit better.

Take a bus to Leidongping and then hike all the way to the summit, which takes about 2-3 hours. It's plenty of time for children, and then take the cable car and bus back to the mountain entrance.
The cultural information during the hike was minimal, so I didn't fully grasp the essence. It was just a scramble, so there wasn't much fun or insight, which was a pity.
The service at the scenic spot was attentive and welcoming, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful, offering a wealth of advice and support, making us feel right at home.
The service was incredibly thoughtful, and with everything from parking and guided tours to dining options, it truly felt comfortable and convenient.

The Leshan Giant Buddha's head is as tall as the mountain, 14.7 meters high and 10 meters wide, with a bun on his head and 7-meter-long ears. It is carved into the mountain and sits majestically overlooking the river, looking solemn and majestic.
The Leshan Giant Buddha is quite interesting. We hired a guide for 120 RMB, which explained everything from the Buddha's head to its head. I recommend waiting for the gates to open at 7:30 AM; the first wave of people is quite small. However, we finished our tour of Wuyou Temple and left at 12:00 PM. By then, the crowds were quite large.

The night tour of Zhijin Cave was a fantastic experience, highly recommended. The night tour is limited to 3,500 people, so the crowds were minimal. We were able to take as many photos and explore as we wanted, which was truly wonderful. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The entire tour took only an hour and a half, and it wasn't tiring at all. It's also family-friendly, so the kids had no trouble walking.
The scenery is generally good, but it was flood season and the boat ride was not allowed, which made the overall experience a little less enjoyable. In addition, it was cloudy that day. There were quite a lot of people in Zhijin Cave, and it took almost 2 hours to walk down.

The hotel is located on Bayi Food Street. Just downstairs, turn right and you'll find Jiefangbei. It's a short walk to all the surrounding attractions. The room was clean and comfortable, and the service was excellent. I was very satisfied with my stay.
I went there at noon, and there were not many people. I queued for less than ten minutes before I got on the other side. It was worth the experience. The scenery on both sides was pleasant. There was also an observation deck on the south bank for taking photos, which was very nice. Xiahaoli is not far away, so you can visit it together.

The zoo opens before 8 o'clock. You must go early to see the giant pandas. They are quite lively and the red pandas are also very cute. The tree climbing is 666. The ticket price is 24. Children's tickets are half price. It is very cost-effective and worth spending 2-3 hours to play.
The giant pandas are superstars. Go early and clock out when it gets hot. There are many other animals. Transportation is very convenient. There is a light rail directly to the entrance. The East Second Gate is the main entrance and it is very close to the Giant Panda Pavilion.

Guizhou is a very distinctive place with unique architecture. It is a great place for taking photos and eating and drinking. It is an ancient military battlefield. Many people in Miao costumes check in and take photos there. It is worth a visit.
During the summer months, Qingyan Ancient Town is bustling with tourists. The shops lining the ancient streets are full of businesses, offering a warm welcome. The back streets are perfect for photoshoots, creating stunning photos. Climb the South Gate city wall for panoramic views of the ancient city, both inside and out.

Although the park is not big, it is still worth a visit. Although it is a man-made attraction, the traffic at the entrance is too bad and the traffic jam is serious. Especially the taxis that solicit passengers occupy the seats and never leave!
The attraction isn't huge, but it's definitely worth a visit. It's a place you don't usually see, and it has a very artistic atmosphere. It's even more beautiful than the Stacked Stone Flower Valley in Youyang, Chongqing. Of course, the two have very different styles. Because I had kids with me and there were so many people, I didn't use my drone to film it. I'm sure it will be great if I wait until the off-season.

Hot pot with Chongqing night views

It is simply an astonishing view. I walked across the bridge looking at it getting closer and closer. It’s just something you don’t get to see !
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.

After nightfall, the buildings along the river light up one after another, and the scenery is very beautiful. The cruise ship passes Hongyadong, Qiansimen Bridge, and Chaotianmen Square. If you want to see the architectural light show, you can take a boat to see it all. This is a ferry.
We recommend purchasing an upgrade, which gives you a seat on the second floor, with indoor or outdoor seating options. There's also a self-service buffet of fruit, snacks, and drinks. The photo-taking angles and locations are fantastic. Starting from Hongyadong Pier on the Jialing River, we pass Chaotianmen Raffles, where the two rivers meet, and then return to Hongyadong Pier under the Yangtze River Cableway. The entire trip takes nearly an hour.
