The scenic area is well-developed with excellent facilities and services. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, and the waterfalls are breathtaking. However, climbing the waterfalls can be challenging for the elderly, so it's best to buy escalator tickets and walk slowly. Don't rush; the scenery needs to be appreciated at your own pace. Bring plenty of water! The only downside is that you have to walk through a sales area to exit.
Even during the dry season, Huangguoshu Waterfall remains magnificent, and Tianxingqiao Scenic Area is truly a must-see. The Silver Chain Waterfall is incredibly photogenic, and we even saw flowers at the Water Curtain Cave! It was definitely worth the trip. Although the walking distance within the scenic area is long, the paths are quite easy to follow, making it effortless even with parents.

Emei is so hard to go, but it was truly rewarding when I reached the peak. Its very crowded, but you will still be able to get some pretty nice pictures. The monkeys along the way really added the extra special touch to the trip :) some people found the bus journey up the winding roads very nauseating, but I slept throughout and was fine both ways! You can consider eating some anti-nausea pills some time before the bus ride though!
It was a fantastic experience. This was my third time here, and I finally saw the sea of clouds! The sunrise was breathtaking, and I felt incredibly uplifted. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and the mountain was very convenient. I highly recommend it.

After climbing Mount Emei, I went to Leshan to sample the local cuisine and also visited the famous Leshan Giant Buddha. Yes, the confluence of three rivers—the Minjiang, Qingyi, and Dadu—makes this auspicious location a sight to behold. The Buddha, built over 90 years, is definitely worth seeing. The red sandstone along the riverbank is easily weathered, and the section of the ancient path that once stood there is now a protected historical site, closed to traffic since around 2019. So, some places are best visited early; otherwise, the experience won't be the same as it was back then.
The Leshan Giant Buddha is truly awe-inspiring, a testament to the wisdom of the ancients. The scenic area is vast, with towering trees, abundant flowers, and ancient temples. Overlooking the confluence of three rivers, the waters flow swiftly. The Giant Buddha scenic area is definitely worth seeing; Sichuan truly deserves its reputation as a major tourist province, boasting numerous unique natural and cultural landscapes.

The cable car trip was amazing — I highly recommend you try it.
ซื้อตั๋วผ่าน trip.com ไปก่อน ทำให้ประหยัดเวลาไปมาก เข้าคิวได้เลย ใช้แค่ QR code ขึ้นจากทางฝั่ง south ใช้เวลาไม่นานเท่าไหร่ น่าจะราวๆ 30 นาที ในตอน 15:00 น ในกระเช้า cable car คนค่อนข้างแน่น ใช้เวลาประมาณ 5 นาทีก็ถึงอีกฝั่งหนึ่ง ถือว่าเป็นประสบการณ์

It's very convenient to drive there; the roads are wide, and the underground parking lot is spacious and easy to park. There's a food street downstairs, and shopping malls are nearby. The rooms are large and clean, and there are many elevators, so even on higher floors, you won't have to wait long. Overall, the experience was excellent, and I would definitely consider coming back again.
I have visited karst caves in many places, including Guangxi, Liaoning, Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou, Hebei, and Chongqing. The Zhijin Cave in Guizhou is the most breathtaking to me. Its landscape is magnificent, with unique shapes, graceful forms, and rare beauty. Wandering amidst the stunning karst scenery, I marvel at the Creator's favor upon Zhijin Cave. In my heart, Zhijin Cave is the "King of Karst Caves."

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 😄
This is a great place for a family trip, offering excellent value for money. If you don't have time to go to Chengdu to see giant pandas, you can see them here too – they're so cute! There are also many other animals, including monkeys, gorillas, hippos, giraffes, zebras, and much more. You definitely have to come! The park's scenery is also nice, and there's an amusement park, as well as some creative products, including giant panda and red panda souvenirs.

On my second visit, the commercial atmosphere was too strong. The entire town consisted mainly of food stalls and clothing rental shops. The scenery was beautiful, but the area within the paid scenic area wasn't very large. There's a large section of the ancient town outside the south gate, but once you leave through the south gate, you can't go back into the scenic area. Although the ticket price wasn't expensive, it was a bit of a shame that you couldn't explore the truly large area outside the south gate.
Qingyan Ancient Town was an important military stronghold during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Founded in the eleventh year of the Hongwu reign (1378), it boasts over 600 years of history and evolved from a mountainous military fortress. The streets and alleys are paved with stone, and the residences also feature stone walls, counters, and courtyards, showcasing Ming and Qing architectural styles. It's worth a stroll and a visit. You can try the local delicacies, such as tofu balls, ice jelly, and pig's feet. If you have time, be sure to climb the city walls.

This is a very worthwhile attraction. It's quite impressive. The courtyard isn't large; an hour is enough. There are Nuo opera performances at 12:30 and 15:30. I stayed a little longer to wait for the performance, but I really enjoyed it.
Yelang Valley isn't a large scenic spot, but it's remarkable how meticulously crafted it is. I have great respect for the dedication and hard work of the veteran artisans who created these many adorable stone sculptures. The entrance fee is reasonable, the scenery is beautiful, and it's definitely worth a visit.

The scenic area is uniquely designed, and you can depart by sightseeing bus. The route includes: General Peak, Surrounded by Stars, Beautiful Fields, Bagua Field Viewing Platform, Great Wind, Earth Eye, Sinkhole, Fortune Field, Ethnic Culture Park, Sinkhole, Fried Food Shop, and Nahui Village. You can easily avoid detours while enjoying the peak forest, fields, villages, and cafes. The driver is enthusiastic and attentive, proactively introducing the attractions and local culture, ethnic customs, and delicious food – all in one place!
Wanfenglin is a must-see attraction. We entered the park around 4 PM before sunset, and the scenery was like a traditional Chinese ink painting. We looked at it again and again; its beauty is beyond words. The sightseeing bus was excellent; you could listen to the explanations while stopping at designated points to admire the scenery. It was a very pleasant experience.

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!
Compared to when I came earlier this year, the ship's interior and decor have been upgraded. The entire journey isn't long, but you can see several famous landmarks in Chongqing. The price is so-so for a tourist package, but expensive for a ferry. But, since we're already here, haha...
