Chishui Hejiang Slow Travel Guide | Hidden Gems and Foodie Spots: Save this 2-Day, 1-Night Itinerary! A new option for Chongqing excursions~
🏃♀️ Itinerary
DAY 1:
📍Hejiang Yangtze River Museum: Amazing from the start! Stunning photos in front of the 1:200 scale Yangtze River model are a must-see! Be sure to find your home on the model (free admission).
📍Xianshi Soy Sauce Factory: Its century-old brewing method is a living fossil. You can smell the aroma of soy sauce before you even enter. A bottle of their 380-day-brewed soy sauce makes a fantastic souvenir (58 Hexu Road).
📍Yaoba Ancient Town: Top-rated for pristine natural beauty! The bluestone streets are almost devoid of commercial activity, and the red earthen walls are perfect for taking photos of the Republican era style (admission fee is 40 yuan, including admission to five exhibition halls).
🍲For lunch, we recommend the "Everything You Can" snack shop in the ancient town; the brown sugar rice cakes and sweet potato dumplings are must-try.
DAY 2:
📍Ancient Banyan Trees: Seven thousand-year-old trees form a natural oxygen bar, with roots taller than a person, right by the highway. (Free)
📍Chishui Bamboo Scenic Area: Walking into the 200,000-hectare bamboo sea is truly refreshing! We recommend taking an electric car to the observation deck to capture the entire bamboo sea in your photos (ticket price: 55 yuan).
🍜Must-try dishes: Hejiang grilled fish (a perfect combination of crucian carp and konjac), Chishui tofu pudding (super tender, made with bamboo sap).
📌Practical tips:
1️⃣ Experience the intangible cultural heritage of making oil-paper umbrellas at the Yaoba Ancient Town workshop (50 yuan per umbrella).
2️⃣ From July to September, the bamboo sea experiences a spectacular "bamboo blossom" phenomenon.
3️⃣ It's recommended to charter a bus for the Hejiang-Chishui section (approximately 200 yuan per day), as the village-to-village bus service runs infrequently.
4️⃣ Bring mosquito repellent! The Danxia landform area is prone to mosquitoes.
The most surprising thing about this trip was discovering Hejiang, a hidden gem. It's much quieter than more popular ancient towns, yet its history is just as rich. #ChongqingSurroundings #ChishuiTourism #UniqueAncientTownCheck-In #IntangibleHeritageExperience
