It takes only an hour and a half drive from Chongqing to reach Jinfo Mountain in Nanchuan! There are delicious food, beautiful scenery, and hot springs here ♨ There is also a fun kite festival waiting for you here, where you can fully enjoy your leisure time on weekends!
Tianxing Town
The Tianxing Town at the foot of Jinfo Mountain is a warm and charming place that captivates me with its unique tranquility and serenity. The antique architecture here makes people intoxicated, and it is not an exaggeration to say that every step is beautiful
From the moment you step into the small town, it feels like you are in ancient times. Walking inside, you will feel the beauty of the Sichuan Chongqing stilted houses. The whole town is beautiful with clear mountains and clear waters, and there are many nostalgic restaurants, grocery stores, and inns on both sides of the stone road.
In spring, kites are an essential theme, and the hanging buildings on both sides of the street are filled with various styles of kites, adding a lot of childlike fun to the peaceful town. Following the small path of the ancient town, you can see both the towering mountains in the distance and the flowing small river next to the house. It is like a graceful southern girl, silently waiting for your arrival.
The "Travel Map Station" is a small shop accidentally discovered while walking on the road. The leisurely and comfortable environment here is suitable for literary and artistic youth to check in. If you are tired during the journey, why not stop and enjoy a moment of tranquility.
Here, you can order a cup of coffee, read your favorite book, sit quietly, or chat with friends. The fresh and artistic environment has turned this place into a great check-in spot. Strolling among the bookshelves, feeling the fragrance of ink, half an afternoon passes by unconsciously~
Although the ancient town is small, it has brought many unexpected surprises. Tianxing Town has different charms for me, whether viewed from afar or up close
Wooden stilted houses, winding stone roads, and blooming spring scenery everywhere, stop and capture time. Let's slow down and feel it carefully with our hearts. Blue skies and white clouds, green mountains and clear waters, every bit of beauty in life will gently envelop you
The grocery stores in the small town are dazzling, and the most unique one is the old street where traditional crafts gather. For example, this bamboo shop has various bamboo handicrafts displayed in its containers, all of which are handmade by the old man. Each bamboo handicraft carries not only the old man's hard work and love, but also the inheritance and development of traditional crafts.
Tianxing Hot Spring City
Stop and go along the way, and at the end of the town is Tianxing Hot Spring City. Soaking in hot springs in Tianxing Town is the highlight! Spring is the time to soak in hot springs, and soaking in hot springs on weekends is a perfect way to relax and relieve fatigue.
Tianxing Hot Spring City has an elegant style that blends seamlessly with the surrounding natural landscape. The dynamic hot spring area and soaking pool area are separated by corridors, and there are also multiple functional play areas, making it a great place for people of all ages
Spring and sunshine are beautiful. The warm sunshine spreads all over the big and small bathing pool. Looking at the garden full of spring scenery, it is extremely moving. The green shade projects onto the clear water, and the gentle breeze caresses my face gently but not dry. In bathing pool, you can turn your body to nature, turn your heart to tranquility, embrace the beauty of the world, and be satisfied and comfortable~
The outlet water temperature of the hot spring here is 49 ℃, which contains high natural strontium, calcium sulfate and other minerals and trace elements. The bathing pool is clear, and special care is provided every day. Bathing pool here is of high medical and health care value. There are 13 different herbal health care areas bathing pool, each of which can make you feel relaxed~
The recommended ones are bathing pool of Azalea and Qingre Tang of Scrophulariae. Jinfo Mountain is a world of azaleas with more than 60 kinds of azaleas, and alpine azaleas are its most beautiful scenery. The azaleas bloom in April, another unparalleled beauty! Rhododendron has a sweet taste, a mild nature, and medicinal value. The "National Compilation of Chinese Herbal Medicines" mentions that it can clear heat and detoxify, reduce phlegm and cough, relieve itching, dispel rheumatism, moisturize and nourish the face. The Rhododendron bathing pool in Tianxing Hot Spring City adopts excellent rhododendron petals, which can relieve pain with blood.
Osmanthus bathing pool is also good. It is a classic Chinese medicine bath. Selected Osmanthus fragrans and their small branches and leaves are boiled slowly with mountain spring water after drying, and then poured into the hot spring pool. The fragrance of Osmanthus fragrans lingers in it, making people happy physically and mentally. Soaking in it can promote blood circulation, dissipate cold air, and beautify the face, especially suitable for girls~
Afternoon Tea Time
After strolling through the town, return to the Tianxing Liangjiang Holiday Hotel and enjoy afternoon tea with friends. The lawn outside the hotel is bathed in sunshine, making afternoon tea and BBQ very suitable. The joy of personally grilling skewers goes without saying that you can understand it
Bathing in the warm sunshine, working with family and friends, grilling a table of delicious food, brewing a pot of spring tea, telling interesting stories in the warm breeze, and experiencing the taste of happiness in the hustle and bustle of the world!
Jinfo Mountain hiking and kite flying
It's also a coincidence that we happened to be here at the first High Mountain Kite Blessing Culture Festival in Jinfo Mountain. Although the wind and fog were strong on the mountain, it didn't affect everyone's interest at all. You could hear the joyful laughter and cursing of children everywhere on site!
The higher the kite flies, the better life becomes. Flying a kite is also flying dreams! Watching the kite fly farther and farther, my heart becomes more and more convinced of the future's prospects! At an altitude of over 2000 meters, the wind is strong, making it easy for kites to fly high into the sky.
The colorful kites adorn Jinfo Mountain even more brilliantly, and the misty environment reveals beauty even more in the haze. This kind of Jinfo Mountain is not something that can be seen every day! Breathing in the humid air of the high mountains, being in it, feeling relaxed.
At the opening ceremony of the Kite Blessing Culture Festival, I was fortunate enough to witness the live performance of professional kite masters and also appreciate the traditional dragon dance performance. The appearance of large dragon shaped kites was truly stunning to me.
Kite DIY is also a very meaningful activity! Make a unique kite by hand and watch it fly in the sky, with a strong sense of achievement! There is also a dedicated kite hand painting operation platform here, which can be a meaningful parent-child activity for parents with children, accompanying them to make their own kites and unleash their creativity.
Come here and unleash your imagination to see if your kite can stand out in handmade crafts! Running on the grass with a pre made kite, retrieving the hidden childlike innocence, happiness is as simple as that.
Besides flying kites, don't forget to pray for blessings when you come here! Walking towards the ancient road, seeing the colorful ribbons floating up close and the towering mountains in the distance, the scenery is so beautiful that I am delighted in my heart. Jinfo Mountain, as a blessed place that provides shelter and a peaceful environment for hundreds of families, has a strong historical and cultural heritage.
Go up and walk along the long wooden boardwalk, and you will arrive at the Buddha Observation Pavilion on the mountaintop. Knock the golden bell here to pray for blessings, tie the prayer ribbon here, and send all your beautiful wishes here. But do good deeds, don't ask about your future!
Address: Jinfoshan Scenic Area, Nanchuan, Chongqing (West Gate) Ticket: 70/person in low season, 90/person in high season; Cableway 80, Cableway shuttle 20.
Local specialty cuisine and accommodation
I am also satisfied with the facilities here. We stayed together at the Tianxing Liangjiang Holiday Hotel at the foot of Jinfo Mountain for a two-day, one night weekend trip. Its geographical location, natural environment, and service all satisfied me
The Liangjiang Holiday Hotel is surrounded by green forests, backed by green mountains and facing the stream. The air here is fresh, birds chirp, and it is only a hundred meters away from Tianxing Town and Tianxing Hot Spring City!
Kind reminder, the long corridor next to the hotel lobby is very beautiful. At night, when you turn on the star lights, they shine brightly and are particularly dreamy, giving you a feeling of stepping onto the Avenue of Stars
Lastly, I would like to mention the delicious food here! In the midst of spring, all kinds of spring flavors are not to be missed. Original ecological delicacies such as Chinese toon, wild vegetables, spring cakes, bamboo shoots, etc. can be eaten here. Tasting these health foods, the taste buds on the tongue are greatly satisfied
Among them, the most famous one is the Nanchuan square bamboo shoots, which are crisp and refreshing, and the Tonic Diet soup pot with more than a dozen kinds of rare medicinal materials, which is delicious. In addition, the characteristic beef burger, health stew, etc., not only have perfect color, fragrance, but also have the effect of food therapy and health preservation
On this vibrant and lively day of spring, it's the best time to go out for an outing with family and friends, climb mountains and pray for blessings! Don't be trapped at home and let this spring season down. Come to Jinfo Mountain and appreciate the beauty of this spring
