Jiulongpo, Chongqing: A hidden gem.

When traveling to Chongqing, we recommend a route from Jiulongpo to Hongya Cave. It's a hidden gem, but very interesting! First stop: Baguo City, Jiulongpo. This place showcases the Ba culture of Chongqing. The park has pavilions, lakes, and bridges. In the morning, local residents come here to practice yoga and tai chi. The Ba People Museum traces the origins of the Ba people and their mysterious beliefs and worship. In fact, Chongqing has a long history, and ancient relics such as bronze ware, chime bells, and bird-shaped zun have been unearthed here. Next, visit the Chenxiang Museum, one of the four major Chenxiang museums in China. The museum's collection of incense utensils covers the Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, as well as the royal incense utensils of Asia's "Living National Treasures." The museum has more than 500 sets of Chenxiang collections, including the museum's treasure, "Angel's Tears," which comes from the original tropical rainforest in Nha Trang, Vietnam. It weighs 13,780 grams and is worth nearly 100 million yuan! If you like incense, don't miss it! Finally, go to Jiulong Ferry and take the Peninsula Ferry to Hongya Cave. The whole journey takes about 1 hour. Along the way, the ferry will take you past Jiulong Riverside Park, Ship 166, Huguang Guild Hall, Nanbin Road, Shanhuba, Hongya Cave, Chongqing Grand Theater, Chaotianmen, and Yangtze River Cableway. In 1 hour, you can enjoy the essence of Chongqing's scenery and take photos without having to squeeze through the crowds. Experience the Yangtze River scenery of Chongqing! Finally, you can go to Hongya Cave to eat snacks and see the Jialing River. This route allows you to avoid the crowds and experience both the old and new Chongqing, from cultural origins to urban scenery!
