The weather was not good when we went up, with heavy fog and low visibility. The scenic area could not meet the demand and the waiting time was long, especially for Line B going down. We made an appointment and waited outside for a long time. When the time came, we had to walk around in circles at the cable car station for a long time.
My review has nothing to do with the App. The booking was easy to use. Instant confirmation. No need to wait in line at the ticket office. There are visitors all times of the day. If you around noon the wait for the cable car is only about 15 min. However don't go on a rainy day bcos visibility is 0 up there. It's a a way down with no place to rest as everywhere is wet.

Definitely worth a visit, however be prepared for a mass crowd up top and the gets up and down for bus in the park. Aside from that also check the weather forecast as it can be cold up top.
Zhangjiajie is one of the highlights of trip, unfortunately the weather is really bad and we can’t see alot. However, you can still see some glimpse of the amazing nature. Check weather forecasts as it can be cold up top.

Very easy to use. No need ticket or voucher. Just show passport at the entrance.
It's a classic karst landform, worthy of World Heritage status. During the sweltering summer heat of Chongqing, it's a great tourist option, especially since the cracks provide a refreshing cool down. However, since this is supposed to be a tourist attraction, separating it into a cenote and a crack seems a bit unkind.

Smooth transaction. I didn't manage to take the cable car due to raining and flogging so cannot see the view clearly.

I visited the Chongqing Zoo in Chongqing. While the panda enclosure was fun, the other animals were too far away, and the interaction between humans and animals wasn't very interesting. The guide map wasn't very clear, so I often took detours.
Most people come for the net red panda. It is best to go in the morning, and the panda baby will take a nap in the afternoon. After shopping, you can go to the Yangjiaping Pedestrian Street business district to eat nearby, and the subway only takes one stop.

Autumn in the Enshi Grand Canyon is a moment of time, rich with poetry. The mountains and forests are the first to burst into color, their emerald green hues dotted by the autumn breeze, layering golden, orange, and dark brown like an overturned palette. Strolling the mountain trails, fallen leaves form a soft blanket beneath your feet, their rustling like autumn whispers.
Early autumn is time's favorite season. The summer heat fades quietly, a cool breeze sweeps across the mountains, the wind carries the gentle scent of grass and trees, and every ray of sunlight becomes exceptionally gentle. This is the perfect time to visit the Enshi Grand Canyon.

It's quite nice, small but charming. I spent quite a while wandering around, and the food was delicious.
The prices are reasonable, not too expensive.
There are also various performances in the evenings, some of which are quite interesting.
I arrived at the perfect time. During the summer, it was almost deserted during the day, but packed at night. There were performances, but the schedule didn't match up at all. I had no idea where they were going, so I wandered around. There was a rock exhibition, but overall, the food wasn't very extensive. Once the lights came on, it was a completely different experience. It was a truly breathtaking experience.

Wudang Mountain Scenic Area is a must-see! As a renowned Taoist holy site and a World Cultural Heritage site in China, it boasts not only a profound cultural heritage but also stunning natural scenery and breathtaking ancient architecture. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a martial arts fan, or a nature photographer, you'll find what you're looking for here.
#### **1. Deep Taoist Culture and Historical Heritage**
**Taoist Holy Site**: Wudang Mountain is the place where the Taoist deity Zhenwu ascended to heaven. It has been a center of Taoist practice since the Tang Dynasty. The temples, shrines, and even the plants and trees here are imbued with the philosophy of "Taoism follows nature."
**Emperor Yongle "Built the Forbidden City in the North and Renovated Wudang in the South"**: Ming Chengzu Zhu Di invested heavily in the renovation of Wudang Mountain, bestowing upon it the prestigious status of "Imperial Family Temple." The entire complex, constructed in strict accordance with Taoist principles and imperial regulations, is magnificent and imposing.
#### **2. Miraculous Ancient Architecture**
The ancient buildings of Wudang Mountain are the core of a World Cultural Heritage site. They are skillfully integrated into the terrain and nature, and are a model of ancient Chinese architecture.
**Golden Hall**: Located atop Tianzhu Peak, the highest peak of Wudang Mountain, this is the largest existing gilded bronze hall in China. Its golden brilliance in the sun is a magnificent sight. The statue of Zhenwu Emperor, tables, and offerings within the hall are all cast in bronze, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. Standing before the Golden Hall, enveloped in mist, creates a fairyland-like experience, making it a perfect spot for watching the sunrise.
**Purple Cloud Palace**: One of the best-preserved palaces in Wudang Mountain, it boasts a majestic and meticulously laid-out layout. Home to the Wudang Taoist Association, it offers a rich religious atmosphere. It was also used as a filming location for the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
**Nanyan Palace**: Regarded as "the most beautiful of the Thirty-Six Rocks of Wudang Mountain." The most famous feature is the "Dragon Head Stone" (also known as the Dragon Head Incense), which juts out of the cliff. Pilgrims used to walk three steps on the dragon's back to burn incense, a thrilling experience. Not only can you appreciate the steepness of the building, but you can also enjoy the stunning mountain scenery.
**Prince Slope**: The "Nine-Curve Yellow River Wall," with its one pillar and twelve beams, and the "Prince's Study Hall" are perfect spots for capturing iconic photos. The winding, undulating red walls and green tiles here are truly photogenic.
#### **3. The Profound and Extensive Wudang Martial Arts**
* **Where is Tai Chi's Origin?**: While there are many theories about the origins of Tai Chi, Wudang martial arts, as a representative of internal martial arts, is as renowned as Shaolin martial arts and is world-renowned. Within the scenic area, you can often see martial artists practicing boxing and swordplay, and the mountains in the early morning are a perfect place to practice Tai Chi.
**Watch a Martial Arts Performance**: At Zixiao Palace and other locations, there are scheduled Wudang martial arts performances, allowing you to experience the blend of strength and flexibility of Wudang Kung Fu up close.
#### **4. Magnificent Natural Scenery**
**"Seventy-Two Peaks Facing the Summit"**: Climb to the Golden Summit and overlook the surrounding peaks, which gravitate towards the main peak, Tianzhu Peak, like stars surrounding the moon. This unique natural landscape is endowed with the divine symbol of "Ten Thousand Mountains Paying Homage" in Taoism. **Sea of Clouds**: After rain, magnificent seas of clouds often appear on Wudang Mountain, with temples and palaces shrouded in mist.
Very good. Ctrip platform helped me plan the trip and I felt very safe. My planner was very kind. It was a very good trip and our whole family was very happy.

It took me a long time to figure out that if you want to visit the Three Gorges Scenic Area in depth, you can just buy your ticket here. The main reason is that the Three Gorges Scenic Area is too complicated. In the end, I drove here for a day and felt great. I will have the opportunity to visit other attractions in the future. The Three Gorges Project is the most important here, hahahaha
I originally planned to book a 258-person boat tour at the Yichang Pier, but due to bad weather and a seven-hour duration, I opted to drive. Fill out your vehicle information online in advance (including your driving license and compulsory insurance information), which is usually valid for two days. Then, drive directly to the dam's customer service center parking lot, then purchase a 35-per-person shuttle bus ticket (available on Ctrip). This tour includes four or five stops and returns to the starting point. If the weather is good, you can enjoy the experience at your leisure, and it would be even better if you could see the dam's waterproofing. Overall, I think it's worth visiting to experience the power of our motherland.

Chongqing Travel Guide: Unlock the Day and Night Wonders of an 8D City at Jiefangbei and Hongyadong
If your image of Chongqing, the "8D Magic City," is still relegated to stories about navigation glitches, then the dual day and night views of Hongyadong and Jiefangbei will redefine the city's charm.
Hongyadong at night is a real-life version of "Spirited Away." As dusk casts a shadow over the Jialing River, the warm yellow lights of the stilt houses gradually illuminate, and the cascading structures create a dreamlike silhouette against the night sky. Gazing from Qiansimen Bridge, traditional Bayu architecture blends with modern skyscrapers in a halo of lights, and the river breeze sweeps past, creating a sense of being transported into a fantasy world. Nighttime here is more than just about viewing the scenery. Delve into the scattered buildings to discover intangible cultural heritage crafts, unique snacks, and folk music bars... Every floor hides the vibrant life and art of Chongqing.
Jiefangbei, day and night, is a symbiosis of prosperity and history. As the heart of Chongqing, its bell tower bears witness to the city's transformation. During the day, this place is a fashionable landmark, with the trendy windows of the Chongqing Department Store and a dazzling array of beauty brands offering an immersive experience of urban bustle. At night, a giant screen's light and shadow show complements the floral displays of "Long Live the Motherland." Amidst the throngs of tourists checking in and locals strolling through, the vibrant atmosphere and fashionable spirit collide to create a unique urban pulse.
Walking from Jiefangbei to Hongyadong, you'll encounter unexpected surprises along the way—for example, a large screen advertising KFC's limited-edition "Crab Moon Burger," showcasing the vibrant and fun atmosphere of the mountain city. If you have more time, check out Qiansimen Bridge at dusk, where its orange-red hue reflects the river waves and the sunset glow, creating a uniquely romantic experience.
The charm of Chongqing lies in the magic of Hongyadong, the prosperity of Jiefangbei, and the vibrant atmosphere of life interwoven into these scenes. Once you visit, you'll never forget it.
Chongqing's Hongyadong Folk Customs Area is well worth a visit. Here's a detailed review:
Reasons to Visit
• Unique Architectural Landscape: Hongyadong features traditional Ba-Yu architecture known as stilt houses. These 11-story buildings are nestled against the mountainside and along the river. The staggered, stacked wooden structures, hanging lanterns, and winding staircases create a cinematic atmosphere. At night, when the area is illuminated, the warm yellow light blends beautifully with the shimmering waters of the Jialing River, creating a magical castle straight out of a fairytale. Dubbed a "real-life Spirited Away," it's a perfect spot for photographers and tourists alike, creating a photo opportunity where any shot is a true masterpiece.
• 3D Mountain City View: From the observation deck in the Hongyadong Folk Customs Area, you can simultaneously see the Qiansimen Bridge, the Jiangbeizui skyscrapers, and the river cruise ships, offering a panoramic view of the city's three-dimensional skyline. You might even discover you're on the first floor, but you're actually on the 11th floor of another street. This sense of spatial dislocation is the essence of Chongqing.
• Immersive Bayu Cultural Atmosphere: The scenic area preserves traditional teahouses, Sichuan Opera face-changing performances, and folk handicraft shops. You can also enjoy authentic local delicacies such as small noodles, hot pot, and ice jelly. Some homestays incorporate elements of old Chongqing, such as blue bricks, bamboo weaving, and vintage photo walls, allowing you to experience the rich local culture during your stay.
• Convenient Transportation: Hongyadong is located in close proximity to the Jiefangbei business district and Chaotianmen Wharf, and is within walking distance of the Yangtze River Cableway, connecting to Chongqing's core attractions. An evening stroll to Qiansimen Bridge for panoramic views of Hongyadong is a favorite experience for many visitors.
Things to Note:
• High Crowds: Hongyadong is often crowded on holidays and at night, which may affect your experience. It is recommended to visit before 10 AM or after 10 PM to avoid crowded times.
• Highly Commercialized: The ground floor shops primarily offer popular snacks and specialty goods, with slightly higher prices. For authentic cuisine, explore the nearby alleys.
Overall, Hongyadong, as a landmark attraction in Chongqing, combines traditional Bayu architecture with modern commercial culture. It not only allows tourists to feel the fireworks of the mountain city, but also allows them to understand the historical memory of old Chongqing. It is a check-in spot not to be missed when traveling to Chongqing.
