Facing a skyscraper window, Qi Xiaobao felt a bit surreal, standing by the window and scratching his head. In Beijing, apart from going to the Jianguomen area, he had never seen such a scene before
The intercity line in Nan'an District looks a bit like Shanghai Pudong in terms of the number of high-rise buildings and floor height. In terms of appearance and momentum, it is not inferior to Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour
The night view is also coming, captured on the rooftop of Marriott's 35th floor in Chongqing at night. The lights are as bright as the Milky Way, giving Qi's father, who has lived in the imperial capital for a long time, a feeling of Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden
Come to Chongqing, how can you not go to Hongyadong! When entering the scenic area from the entrance of Hongya Cave, Qi's father thought he had gone to the wrong place. There were clearly no tall buildings in this area. After entering, he suddenly realized that the so-called first floor when we entered the scenic area was actually the 11th floor of Hongya Cave. Chongqing is a magical place. You think you are on the first floor, but in fact you are on the 18th floor. You think you have reached the 18th floor underground, but in fact you have only reached the 1st floor. People who are not familiar with this place, enter through the first floor gate and take the elevator to the 20th floor, only to find out that the elevator is still on the main road, will definitely make you doubt your life! This is not surprising at all, because this is Chongqing! The terrain of the mountain city is undulating, with few flat areas. Many buildings are built along the mountains, adapting to local conditions. Therefore, Chongqing has many high-rise buildings, and many high-rise buildings often have multiple exits. Therefore, the rooftop is a gas station, and the phenomenon of trains entering residential buildings is very common in Chongqing. Hongyadong is a folk style commercial street, and during the day, only the exterior of the buildings can be seen
The busiest and most beautiful time in Hongya Cave should be at night, but it's not suitable for us to join in the fun with our children. We can only take advantage of the lack of people during the day to check in. Qi Mama loves Chongqing very much. Despite the scorching noon sun, Qi Xiaobao remains enthusiastic. At the age of 6, Qi Xiaobao has no interest in scenic spots and is only interested in places with water and fish. Therefore, no matter where he goes, he will search for water everywhere. Even if there is a small puddle, he can play for half a day
Another representative check-in spot in Chongqing: the Yangtze River Cableway. Qi Xiaobao is eager to take the cable car ride, and this time he can finally enjoy himself. Standing at the entrance, Qi Xiaobao, who can't wait, finally has a place that can attract him
The cable car of the Yangtze River Cableway, like a shuttle bus, is said to be able to accommodate 80 people at a time. This form of cable car has only been seen in Chongqing, China. Like a bus hovering and shuttling between the two sides of the Yangtze River, this scene has been seen in many film and television works. Nowadays, it has become a must visit destination for Chongqing's internet celebrities, so the ticket price has changed from 2 yuan for local residents to 20 yuan for one-way transportation to tourists. The commercial logic of rising boats is also applicable on the suspended cableway in mid air.
Crossing the river is always exciting, otherwise why would Comrade Cao Cao have to put in so much effort to cross it! Qi Mama doesn't have that many ideas, it's purely for clocking in, and Qi Xiaobao even lies at the window early, waiting for the 'flight'!
In front of the mechanized shuttle cable car, the two banks of the Yangtze River are just a stone's throw away. In just a few minutes, the cable car has arrived on the other side
Looking at the Yangtze River Bridge from the cable car, the red bridge body makes this behemoth look fashionable. The biggest feature of Chongqing is its refusal to be monotonous, so you can always see high-rise buildings with different shapes, and the bridge is no longer a cold cement coating
The ships on the shore stop by the shore, and next to them should be the famous Chaotianmen Pier
The unbeatable night view by the river, shimmering neon lights and slowly flowing eastward river water, intentional lights, ruthless flowing water, and the hustle and bustle of the world did not allow the Yangtze River to linger for even a moment
Qi Xiaobao played with a slingshot on the square by the river. This riverside square is lively at night, perhaps because it is too hot and humid during the day. People here seem to prefer nightlife. The singers playing songs on the square, the vendors selling various cold noodles and drinks, and the children chasing after them make the night here lively and lively
I don't like crowded cities, especially during the epidemic period. Qi Dad still prefers natural landscapes. About 200 kilometers away from the city center of Chongqing, it is the Wulong Tiankeng Scenic Area that Qi Dad has long admired. You can purchase tickets for the Tiansheng Sanqiao Scenic Area on Ctrip. Perhaps the manager prefers the name Tiansheng Sanqiao, but in Qi's opinion, the name Wulong Tiankeng should be more appropriate and have a better sense of scenery.
At the entrance of the scenic area stands the image of the Bumblebee from the movie Transformers. Qi Xiaobao is more excited than Scissorhands. This is the filming location of the American blockbuster Transformers 4, and those who have watched Transformers movies should be familiar with the scenes inside. Many shots are taken here, and perhaps in the director's opinion, the fantastic scenery here is more in line with the tone of Transformers.
Tiansheng Sanqiao is a rare geological wonder and a typical karst landform. The so-called Three Bridges are known for their magnificent stone arch bridges, namely the Tianlong Bridge, Qinglong Bridge, and Heilong Bridge, which are naturally formed. They are the largest natural bridge group in Asia. Walking under the Tiansheng Bridge, it feels like entering a paradise on earth.
The drop from the top of the bridge to the bottom of the pit is at least 100 meters, which can accommodate 30 floors. The vegetation at the bottom of the pit is lush, and waterfalls and streams can be seen everywhere
This rock doesn't look like an elephant walking forward
Qi Xiaobao stood under the Tiansheng Bridge, and in his eyes, this was a giant cave
This bridge opening is very high, and when you come down from the opening, where Qi's father stands, there is still a long distance from the bottom of the pit, more like a window opened on the rock wall
There is an old courtyard style building at the bottom of the pit, which looks familiar to the eyes. Later, I realized that I had seen it in many movies and TV dramas. Qi Mama and Qi Xiaobao stood on the stone steps, with the bottom of a hundred meter deep pit behind them
Qi Xiaobao is often unwilling to cooperate with taking photos, but this time he took the initiative to request it. It seems that the unique natural landscape here is very much in line with children's curiosity
The sunlight passes through the Tiansheng Bridge and projects onto the cliffs at the bottom of the pit. Standing at the bottom of the pit, what you see is not the sunrise and sunset, but the fluctuation of sunlight projection on various parts of the cliffs
The open and closed nature here stimulates Qi Xiaobao's little soul. Under this deep pit, Qi Xiaobao runs around on his own, always wanting to discover something
Here, the sky has boundaries, and the cave entrance is a natural viewfinder. Sitting at the bottom of the pit and observing the sky, all you see is the clouds rolling and relaxing in this circle of sky. Clouds come and go, without the troubles of the world. What a joy!
This is also a filming location that is full of golden armor in the film industry. Places that can attract director Zhang Yimou's attention are usually not too bad. Qi's father believes that director Zhang is one of the Chinese directors who pays the most attention to visual beauty
Encountering a steel giant beast on the road, which should be one of the characters in the movie Transformers. Qi Xiaobao learned to roar like a dinosaur, but this kid was a bit of a dragon lover like Ye Gong. He just watched from a distance and refused to approach this "giant beast"
The three natural bridges are not parallel, but separated by one bridge, so we walk from one hole to another, and wherever we pass, there are different caves
A waterfall cascading down from a cliff, its water washing over the rugged cliffs, splitting into countless streams like strings of pearls hanging on a cliff with a drop of tens of meters. There are no beautiful women rolling the pearl curtain, only treasure hunting father and son
The rolled pearl curtain has arrived, this is the only beauty in our family
This cave, with its reflection in the water, is said to be called the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, which looks somewhat like a big sword
Qi Ma walks towards the 'knife'
The approaching big knife no longer looks like a big knife. From this angle, it looks more like a huge lock hole. Qi's father has a strange idea that perhaps with a suitable key, he can open this huge lock and open the door to the heavens. The problem is, where could such a big key come from! ha-ha!
Under the reflection, this cave is more like a big exclamation mark, marveling at the magnificence of the sinkhole itself? Or do you marvel at the incredible craftsmanship of nature?
Looking up at the bridge cave from different angles will present different unique landscapes, and the sinkhole adds a sense of fantasy to it
This scenery is called carp leaping over Longmen. Qi's mother wants to bring this' big fish 'home
You can see such thrilling cliffs everywhere at the bottom of the pit
This place is called the Divine Eagle Sky Pit because it resembles an eagle eager to spread its wings and fly high
The design of the divine eagle is lifelike
Due to time constraints, we only visited the Tiansheng Three Bridges. The magnificent Wulong Tiankeng scenic area is not limited to this, and there is also the supposedly even more magical Tiankeng ground fissure, which can only be excavated next time
The evening sunshine is still playing with the art of shifting light and shadow. The light passes through the sinkhole and splashes on the cliff at the corner, freezing our fantastic impression of the Wulong sinkhole. The mysterious sinkhole bids us farewell with the same mysterious light and shadow.
Goodbye Wulong Tiankeng, goodbye to the hot Chongqing!
