A severely underrated small town around Chongqing

I went to Changshou with friends over the weekend. I didn't have high expectations before going, and my impression of the place was limited to Changshou Ancient Town and Changshou Lake. However, after a detailed visit, I found it has its own unique charm😌 Strolling through the old streets, 🍵 drinking damdam tea... Experiencing the leisurely cultural atmosphere, I slowly fell in love with this small city. Changshou is not big, and you can visit most of the attractions in one weekend. Let me share my travel tips with you! - 👉2 days and 1 night itinerary D1 Arrive at Changshou—Sanduoguai Old Street—Changshou Museum—Bodhi Ancient Town D2 Bodhi Mountain—Changshou Lake - Recommended check-in spots ✅Sanduoguai Old Street This was the most surprising place in this trip, and I can say that its cultural atmosphere is even richer than that of Ciqikou and Shiba Ti. ⛰️ Built along the mountain, you can walk up from the riverside all the way to the city of Changshou, with the whole street winding and turning. Although it is currently being renovated, there are still many old residents living here, and you can also drink damdam tea. Next to it is the famous Changshou cable car🚠, but it is also under renovation, leaving a little regret for the next visit! . ✅Bodhi Ancient Town This ancient town is also very interesting. The wide stone roads are not tiring to stroll on, and a winding river runs through it, 📷 giving it a feel of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many places to eat on both sides, and we randomly chose one that was very good👍 . ✅Changshou Lake It's really comfortable to come to Changshou Lake in summer, but unfortunately, it was drizzling on the day we went 🌧️, which did not affect the beauty of Changshou Lake. Perhaps because of the rain, there were fewer people, and we strolled very leisurely and comfortably. 🌳 Greenery everywhere caught our eyes, and the air was so good that staying for most of the day seemed to make one forget some worries. Here you can also camp⛺️ and take boat trips🛶, which is very suitable for the whole family to play. . ✅Changshou Museum The simplest way to understand a city is to start from its museum. Here you can find the historical and cultural origins of Changshou from ancient times to the present, and there are many cultural relics on display. - ⚠️ It takes about 1.5 hours to drive from the main city, and about half an hour by high-speed rail. It is recommended to stay near the ancient town, as it is closer to everywhere!
