Day 1: Experience the shock of millions of immigrants at the Three Gorges Memorial Hall and taste the nationally renowned Wanzhou grilled fish.

Departing is always full of vitality. In this early summer season, with the rising sun and gentle breeze, we rush towards the prosperous and historic city of Wanzhou with great enthusiasm. The most intuitive feeling that such a city brings us is that the city is reflected in the water, the mountains are neutral in the city, and people walk in it. The whole scene can be described as grand, majestic, peaceful and beautiful.

Wanzhou City stands tall on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and has developed rapidly since its establishment under the direct jurisdiction of Chongqing. Walking inside the city, one cannot help but marvel at the magic of time. Looking at the towering buildings and bustling traffic in the city, it can be seen that the "gathering of thousands of merchants" is not just a name for itself. What attracts people to a city is not only its nightlife, but more importantly, the historical and cultural heritage that has been deeply ingrained in it. In this bustling city, there are also heavy historical traces, such as the dock era, foreign trade era, and immigration era, which have created the profound heritage and unique charm of Wanzhou today.

In this neon city, on the banks of the surging river, a great feat has been recorded, and a memorial hall has sprung up. More than twenty years ago, a group of people here moved their families and devoted themselves to the Three Gorges Project, creating a glorious history. To commemorate the million immigrants of the Three Gorges, the Three Gorges Immigrant Memorial Hall was established. The museum not only collects and protects immigrant culture, but also displays the historical culture and development process of the Three Gorges Reservoir area in Wanzhou.

Entering the museum, the scenes of various periods in Wanzhou are vividly depicted through various methods such as models, scene restoration, and audio-visual composite multimedia. In those historical relics, the weight of history can also be glimpsed, giving a more realistic feeling. Next, various projection techniques will be used on the second and third floors of the museum to showcase the magnificent scenery of immigrants. Through observation, one can feel the strong will and dedication of the people, the unity and harmony of the people, and how can the country not be prosperous and strong.

Walking out of the memorial hall, awe only increases and never decreases. Looking at the flowing streets, feeling the resolute beauty of Wanzhou City, my love for it has invisibly deepened.

We have seen its story and should also taste its flavor. What to eat in Wanzhou is probably well-known! Grilled fish is a unique sign of Wanzhou. Walking through the streets and alleys, no matter how many smells come, you can smell the irresistible fragrance of Wanzhou grilled fish.

At this point, I can't wait to order a grilled fish. The fish meat contains protein, calcium, phosphorus, and other nutrients that can enhance memory, thinking, and analytical abilities, delay cognitive decline. This dish is not only delicious but also nutritious. Wanzhou Grilled Fish combines three cooking methods: marinating, grilling, and stewing. Seeing the fish in the iron clip being grilled with a fragrant aroma and golden body, one cannot help but salivate. This grilled fish sprinkled with spices and rich side dishes make us quickly move our chopsticks, and every bite goes deep into our souls. Wanzhou is truly famous for grilled fish, and tasting this fish is also worthy of our trip to Wanzhou.

Day 2: Taking advantage of the gentle breeze and the perfect sunshine, we quickly headed towards Wushan.

From ancient times to the present, there have been countless poems about Wushan. Among them, Wuxia has long been renowned. Wuxia is the second gorge of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, with steep cliffs and strange rocks. The image of the gorge being long and deep has long been deeply ingrained in people's hearts.

Wuxia, with a total length of 46 kilometers, is known as the Great Canyon. It is beautiful and deep, especially with the distinctive peaks on both sides. During the voyage, the canyon stretches deep like a gallery, and the scenery along the shore slowly passes by, like a natural painting unfolding slowly, beautiful beyond measure. Occasionally shrouded in clouds and smoke, the hazy beauty is indescribable.

The Twelve Peaks of Wushan are extremely magnificent and colorful, attracting many literati and poets with their unique beauty. Many of the poems have been passed down through the ages and praised by people. Of course, there are more than just twelve Xiufeng peaks. In addition to the twelve peaks, there are also many dangerous peaks standing tall, worth a visit.

While marveling at the steepness and strangeness of Wuxia, we also arrived at the beautiful Goddess scenic area. The most famous peak in the scenic area is probably the Goddess Peak, which has a graceful stone pillar resembling a graceful young girl standing tall. For thousands of years, various mythological stories have been passed down in Shennv Peak. Shennv seems to live in people's oral traditions, as a mysterious elf, the embodiment of love, the deep affection of poets, the romance of great men, and a unique cultural landscape of Wushan.

There is also the Goddess Creek in the scenic area, which can forget the troubles of the world and offer a panoramic view of the twelve peaks; The thrilling Huangyan Cableway, competing to see the skyline of the Yangtze River; You can ascend to the top of Yaotai, face the summit of Wushan, and reach the peak of Yunxia, where clouds and smoke gather and disperse on the goddess's heavenly path. Various scenic spots are full of vitality and unique flavors. Strolling through them, the scenery is diverse, immersing oneself in nature and enjoying it.

Day 3: Having seen the rugged rocks of Wushan and the romantic goddess of Wu Gorge, we will experience the inclusiveness and peace of the stone pillars in the future.

Shizhu County is located on the south bank of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, with a total of 29 ethnic groups. It is a place where ethnic cultures blend together and is one of the habitats of the Tujia ethnic group that has merged with other ethnic groups.

The stone pillars are used to welcome us to ancient towns with rich historical and cultural heritage. It can be said that the ancient towns have the heaviest historical traces, and they definitely preserve the ancient fragrance to the greatest extent. This Xituo ancient town, which is on par with Wuzhen, is the gateway of Shizhu County on the Yangtze River. Being on par with Wuzhen demonstrates its profound meaning and unique significance.

Without entering the ancient town, one only needs to look outside to get a glimpse of its ancient charm. Xituo Ancient Town has a long history. From ancient times to the present, it has been an important deep-water port in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Entering the ancient town, the layered Tujia stilted houses are particularly prominent, and the shops and inns on both sides are also very unique, giving a sense of time travel. Yunti Street, the first street along the Yangtze River that cannot be ignored in the ancient town, is a unique street built perpendicular to the Yangtze River. It consists of 1124 stone steps and offers a panoramic view of the beauty of the ancient town. When shrouded in clouds and mist, one can overlook the fairyland from below.

Having experienced history, culture, and natural ecology, we cannot let go of them either.

The Qianye Grassland located along the Fangdou Mountain in Yuchi Town, Shizhu County is probably the best place for lung cleansing. This place is rich in resources, integrating mountains, forests, grass, stones, and livestock, and is vast and expansive. Just standing here, one can fully feel the poetry and tenderness of nature, and feel comfortable both physically and mentally.

The grassland has an altitude of 1300-1700 meters, which can bring you a hint of coolness even in summer. Nowadays, this is already a 4A level scenic spot, and many talented and beautiful people come here to take wedding photos, full of love, adding a touch of romance to the wildness of this 10000 acre grassland.

Day 4: Joyful time always flies by our fingertips, and the last journey has arrived. Coming to Zhongyi Township hidden in the mountains and forests, you can get closer to the depths of nature here.

Although Zhongyi Township is one of the 18 deeply impoverished townships in Chongqing, the surrounding tourist attractions are relatively dense and each has its own strengths. There are also well preserved traditional Tujia style residential courtyards and abundant resources. It is also backed by the 4A level scenic spot "Dafengbao" and is a unique tourist destination. Among them, the forest coverage rate is 88%, which means that it is no different from being in a forest here. Tranquility and mystery are synonymous with this place, and there are thriving vitality and natural gifts everywhere.

Here, we can experience the tranquility and beauty of the forest to the fullest extent. Moreover, the average altitude of Zhongyi Township is around 1000 meters, and the weather is cool, making it very suitable for summer escape. In the hustle and bustle of the world, having this place for us to rest for a moment, forget our worries, is truly rare and an indispensable part of our journey to nourish our lungs.

Where there is a beginning, there is an end. The not too long journey has come to an end. It is a great honor to experience the mountains, waters, and trees of nature in my leisure time. Throughout this journey, I have gained extraordinary rewards and enjoyed myself to the fullest.

On a leisurely journey, we experienced the unique charm of Wanzhou, Wushan, and Shizhu. This heart wrenching and exhilarating journey has revealed the mysterious veil of Northeast Chongqing to us, and there are still many discoveries waiting for everyone to discover.
