Many people know that Chongqing is a famous furnace, and in the hot months of July and August, most parts of the main city of Chongqing are even more unbearable. If you want to go out to escape the heat on weekends, many mountainous areas require at least 3 hours of self driving, which feels a bit far. But in the main city of Beibei District, there is a relatively cool and fresh air place, which is Jindaoxia Town.

Jindaoxia Town is about an 80 minute drive from the center of Chongqing city. Many people in Chongqing have visited the Jindaoxia Scenic Area there, where the canyon scenery is thrilling and beautiful, blending into a karst canyon landscape. It is a great place for outdoor streams to descend and drift. It is also a great place for climbing, water recreation, summer vacation, and enjoying nature.

Shengtian Lake hidden in the deep mountains ：

Located in Shenxiandong Formation, Shengtian Lake Village, Jindaoxia Town, Beibei, Chongqing, Shengtian Lake is surrounded by surrounding jungle vegetation, with 800 acres of curved and beautiful water surface.

The pure color of emerald green, the winding lines of the lake surface, the thunderous silver waterfall, the seven color rainbow floating in steam, the intermittent forest roads, and the emerald green forest fields together constitute the harmonious beauty of the combination of movement and stillness in Shengtian Lake!

The location of Shengtian Lake is a remnant of the southern foothills of Huaying Mountain, known as the "Human Jade Pool". This is a high mountain reservoir built in the 1970s. It is reported that it was built purely by hand at that time and took nearly ten years. It is named Shengtian Lake after the meaning of "man can conquer nature". The double hole design of the lake embankment is unique, exquisite and majestic.

It solves the flood control and security tasks of towns such as Jindaoxia, Liuyin, Sansheng, and Fuxing, as well as the irrigation problem of 22000 acres of farmland. It promotes the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature and interprets the contemporary spirit of "man conquers nature" to the world.

Slow Man Cliff Residence& Camping base ：

If you have high requirements for accommodation conditions, you can also come to the Slow Man Cliff Residence in Group 3 of Xiaotang Village, Beijin Road to experience a different view and high-end quality accommodation. There are dedicated outdoor parking spaces available here.

Nowadays, many people have a fast-paced lifestyle and only come to peaceful places to truly relax. I think 'Slow Man Cliff Residence' is named after slowing down the pace of life and experiencing a different kind of romantic sentiment here. There are also facilities available here, such as chess and card rooms, Japanese style tea rooms, and conference rooms, to enrich your vacation life.

The terrace suite has a two-story layout, with the living room and study cleverly integrated. Each of the three observation rooms has its own characteristics and can be rented as a whole or separately, allowing for a comfortable experience.

A simple and pure dwelling that fully engages with nature. The guest room is hidden in the pine forest, giving a sense of independence from the world, simple yet warm.

The surrounding altitude of the Manman Cliff Residence is between 800-900 meters, with a forest coverage rate of over 70%. The entire space is built around the forest, giving the feeling of a natural oxygen bar. The floor to ceiling glass of the room provides a good view, the air is fresh, and the wild scenery is wonderful.

Across from the gate of the Slow Man Cliff Residence is the camping base of Jindaoling, which can be reached by climbing a slope.

This is a place that children love so much. They love running and playing among the flowers, adding childlike fun to the peaceful forest.

Come on, let's set up a tent together, camp in the forest, feel the different atmosphere of nature in the misty mountains, and even count the stars in the sky on a clear night! (Friendly reminder: Tents can be brought or rented)

Meimei slept in a natural oxygen bar all night. As noon approached, we should go down the mountain and feel a bit reluctant to part. So let's go to Pianyan Ancient Town in Jindaoxia Town at the foot of the mountain for a meal and check-in. It's also the filming location for the TV drama.

Pianyan Ancient Town ：

Pianyan Ancient Town is located near No. 9 Pianyan Street in Beibei District, adjacent to Zhuxi River. Pianyan Ancient Town is not large and was called "Jielongchang" in the Qing Dynasty. According to records, there were already shops distributed at that time. In 1844, Jielongchang was called Pianyanchang, and the name Pianyanchang has been used ever since. (Free admission)

Huaiyin Bridge spans the Zhuxi River and connects to Pianyan Ancient Town. There is a local feature by the river, which is sitting in the water, eating and playing mahjong. It's so fun!

On such a hot day, sitting in the water feels cool and comfortable for entertainment.

Pianyan Ancient Street has been renovated, although it has lost some original flavor and added some commercial elements, it will not affect the taste and mood of delicious dining.

Some small streets still retain their original appearance.

The Wu Temple, ancient stage, and Yu Wang Temple have all been rebuilt, and it is difficult to see the traces of the original. In fact, I personally believe that it is better to preserve the original state as much as possible after repairing the old.

The name of Pianyan Ancient Town on the ancient post road still exists today, but its former charm is difficult to reproduce.

The half street behind the ancient town can be explored, although it is short, it is almost the same as 10 years ago.

The stone paved road, ancient trees, water beach river, and connecting dragon bridge remain unchanged.

A 60 meter high cliff slopes towards the northwest, making it an excellent location for scenic terrain. People call this place "Pianyang".

There are also restaurants dining on Half Street, which is much quieter than the main street of the old street.

There is also a women's blacksmith shop where you can go and check in!

Near the Jielong Bridge, with good luck, you can also capture the imagery of withered vines, old trees, crows, small bridges, flowing houses, and ancient roads with thin horses in the west wind

On the Zhuxi River, you can also walk, jump rocks, play, and wade through the water. Look, these elderly people are not at all useless!

Okay, after talking so much, it's time to soak in water and eat.

Fried Twice cooked pork with crawfish, young ginger and old salt dishes, whole, Bashide board!

After lunch, you can go to the Jindaoxia Farmers' Market across from Huaiyin Bridge to buy some local specialties and learn about the local cultural and folk customs. This trip is also worth it.

Children's favorite candy paintings evoke childhood memories.

At the scene, from the opening of the Summer Culture and Art Festival on July 17 to the end of August, there are Crawfish Food Festival, Agricultural Tide Fair, and "Ancient Town China-Chic · Quiet Time" fashion cards all over the town every weekend

Are you tempted? Come to Jindaoxia Town for a cool and comfortable weekend, experience the rare treasures in the deep mountains, feel the fusion of modern prosperity and ancient history, and enjoy delicious food. Get up!
