After crossing mountains and ridges from Wuxi, passing through the cold wind tunnel, I finally arrived at the territory of Chengkou It's my first time in Chengkou, I knew it was surrounded by mountains, similar to Wuxi. The Kanggu Scenic Area that comes into view, there's a fort on the mountain top where you can walk on a glass bridge. Suddenly, I lost interest in going up to see it. 🌞It's quite hot🥵 and probably not cool either. Off I go to see the county town. The Tucheng Old Street should actually be a new street, right? It's very small and not very interesting. Next to it is a Soviet Regime Memorial Park where you can check in. A small commercial street, oh oh oh oh, this is Chengkou

Kanggu is named after the mysterious history of the Kang family here. Flanked by steep ridges on both sides, the valley is narrow and flat, with a stream running through it, living up to the reputation of 'mini Zhangjiajie'. This is Chengkou County, the northernmost point of Chongqing, and the smallest county town I have ever seen. It takes a 4-hour drive from Chongqing to Kanggu, but it is estimated that it will be reachable in about an hour and a half after the high-speed rail opens. It is precisely because of its remote location next to Shaanxi that it is isolated from the world, but the scenery is nice, and the climate is very cool. Every year, there is a constant stream of people coming here to escape the summer heat. Local residents offer their houses for accommodation, and of course, a number of high-quality hotels and homestays have also been built locally. For example, the Sifangbei Homestay Group and the Century Golden Source Hotel. Horses graze by the stream with their heads bowed, the sky is azure blue, and the clouds are lingering. Without the noise and heat of the city, this place is very much like my ideal retirement spot. Chengkou cured meat is unparalleled, fatty but not greasy, lean but not tough. The local produce all have their natural flavors, gifts from nature far from the city.

The home becomes more and more comfortable to live in, and so is the homestay. 💗 Xiaowu has many memories related to autumn, and chestnuts make up a big part of them. It's hard for city dwellers to imagine how generous the gifts from the mountains and waters can be. The chestnut trees in the courtyard of Xiaowu are densely packed with little furry balls.
