Recently, the weather has become unusually cool, but it is also more suitable for us to go out and play. Let's grab the tail of May and set off together!
The scenery of the Three Gorges, magnificent and majestic, is truly the chosen destination for the first leg of this trip. Mount Emei is engaged in ten thousand battles, while Kui Wu locks the west wind. The river cannot be stopped, and all the water flows eastward - "Ode to the Three Gorges".
A trip to the Three Gorges must have a starting point. Based on its geographical location and convenient transportation, Wanzhou should be the starting point, and this city is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a rich history and unique scenery, living up to its unique style of "city in the mountains, water in the city, and people in the mountains and waters".
Coming to the streets of Wanzhou, the biggest feeling is that Wanzhou is indeed named after "Wanchuan Bihui" and "Wanshang Biji". Looking at the vast green Yangtze River, feeling the fiery enthusiasm of the people and the prosperity of the streets, the entire city is filled with the fragrance of a prosperous era.
Three Gorges Immigrant Memorial Hall
In this city, more than 20 years ago, a world-renowned event occurred. Due to the construction of the Three Gorges Dam project, 1.31 million people in the reservoir area moved away from their hometowns and settled in new places.
The relocation of the family is only to support the construction of the project. In commemoration of the dedication of these people, a memorial hall has been erected by the river. That is the Chongqing Three Gorges Immigrant Memorial Hall located in Wanzhou, which contains cultural collections of Three Gorges immigrants and the humanistic history of Wanzhou.
The charm of a city mostly lies in its cultural heritage and historical sense. The first step of a trip to Wanzhou must belong to this memorial hall.
Arriving at the entrance of the memorial hall, the rock shaped appearance made one feel awe and the strong will emanating from it.
Entering the first layer, one is surrounded by a strong historical atmosphere. This layer is a mirror of history, a trace of time, reflecting the prosperity and flourishing of Wanzhou from the turbulent times in the past to the present, as well as the harmonious development and indomitable will of the Wanzhou people.
The following second and third layers use various technologies such as projection and multimedia to provide us with a detailed and intuitive demonstration of the Three Gorges Project and the feat of millions of immigrants.
There is a special digital wall that records the number of immigrants, which is a shocking proportion for us all. One out of every 1000 Chinese people is a Three Gorges immigrant, and the magnitude of this shock can be imagined.
Wanzhou grilled fish
After visiting the memorial hall, it seems that I have become even more passionate about this city. Meaningful time always passes unnoticed, and the sun has long disappeared. With a fresh cultural and historical atmosphere, the pedestrian street is filled with a gentle breeze, and everything you see, smell, and feel is unique.
Suddenly, a fragrance wafted from the distance, arousing my appetite. That's right, since we've arrived in Wanzhou, its sign is definitely something we can't miss. Wanzhou grilled fish, even before it arrived, was coveted and left in search of flavor. Only to see a fish in an iron clip, placed on the stove and grilled with charcoal
The grilled fish, which uses dozens of spices and seasonings, is cooked in one go using the heat during the roasting process. The outer skin is crispy, the meat is soft and tender, and the aroma is overflowing. It can truly be called a signature dish of Wanzhou cuisine. Food cannot be denied, and only after eating is the greatest respect. This trip to Wanzhou has indeed yielded a lot.
Wu Gorge
We have seen a unique clock tower, a unique square, and more wonders waiting for us. After a long journey, we arrived at the second gorge of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River - Wuxia.
Wuxia is located in the middle section of the Three Gorges, with more than one or two observable features. The saying goes, 'The Three Gorges of Badong, Wu Gorge'. Wu Gorge has always been famous for its long gorge, deep valley, layered mountains, and rugged rocks in the gorge area.
The deep and narrow valley road, with boats passing through it, exudes a mysterious and dark feeling. The peaks on both sides stand tall and continuous, sometimes as if there are stone peaks blocking the way. Who would have thought to reach this point? The road turns around, and this is another village with hidden willows and bright flowers.
Looking around, only the steep cliffs on both sides come into view. The gorge is long and deep, resembling a gallery. Passing by, there are strange rocks and peaks, and the mist is enchanting. The winding and unique flavors make this scenery incredibly beautiful.
The twelve peaks of Wushan are all in the blue void. On both sides of the Yangtze River, there are six peaks, echoing each other from afar. The twelve peaks have different postures, magnificent and moving, attracting countless tourists who are all intoxicated by them.
Shennv Peak Scenic Area
The twelve peaks each have their own characteristics, among which the Goddess Peak is the most beautiful and graceful, and the story of the Goddess of Wushan is beautiful and moving. Everyone who hears it will have a longing. From ancient times to the present, many literati and poets have come here to write poems and inscriptions.
The goddess is a symbol of beauty, the Venus of China. If you don't come to admire her for a moment, it would be a waste of the significance of this trip. Experience the combination of nature and culture in front of the Goddess Peak, and silently make wishes. Perhaps the Goddess will hear your beautiful wishes!
Climbing Mount Goddess and getting up close to beautiful myths and legends. The Goddess Peak contains countless mythological stories, which, although false, truly reflect the psychological thoughts and inner expectations of ancient people.
The various unique landscapes in the Shennv Peak Scenic Area, combined with their unique mythological stories, are truly one-of-a-kind. The wonders and strange scenery are dazzling, like the goddess Tiangong with unique landforms such as stalactites and caves several miles deep
Leaving behind the poem 'Shu Ting' that praises love, saying 'Instead of exhibiting on the edge of a cliff for a thousand years, it's better to suffer on the shoulders of one's loved one for a night'
In the morning, it's clouds, and at night, it's rain at Chaoyun Pavilion and Evening Rain Terrace; The Xiang King intends, but the goddess is ruthless on the Xiang King Ladder; There is also a magnificent and grand temple of goddess located at an altitude of 860 meters, with numerous scenic spots. Above these landscapes, there are deeper meanings, all of which are people's beautiful hopes. Various wonders are refreshing to the heart and soul, and this trip is full of harvest.
The journey is inevitably tiring, so pay attention to rest in your spare time. However, the beautiful scenery along the way is abundant and exceptionally beautiful, which makes people feel that this trip is not worth it. Having seen the rugged rocks and steep peaks, one cannot help but feel even more fascinated by the journey ahead.
Shizhu is a Chongqing Autonomous County located on the south bank of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. And it is this county town that hides many tourist attractions and various eye-catching sights, waiting for us to discover.
Qianye Grassland
The road is long and winding, accompanied by beautiful scenery. Nourishing our spirits, we are about to arrive at a new camping paradise where wildness and beauty are combined, where the soul is comforted, and where gentleness and grandeur coexist.
Qianye Grassland, an alpine meadow with an altitude of 1300-1700 meters, is located along the Fangdou Mountain in Yuchi Town, Shizhu County. It is a national AAAA level scenic spot. Come here, feel the breath of nature, look into the distance, and be surrounded by lush greenery, feeling naturally happy. Due to its high altitude, even in the hot summer, this place will not be affected by high temperatures, making it very suitable for summer vacation and leisure. Quickly put this treasure land on your agenda and schedule a meeting with friends to welcome the first coolness of summer and soothe the restlessness of summer.
If there is a chance, I will also see couples here and witness the birth of their romantic wedding photos. However, how can such a beautiful scenery be let down? Every stone, every blade of grass, and every forest blends into the scenery, like a lifelike painting. Although we cannot take wedding photos, we still need to quickly capture the big shots, minute by minute. You deserve to have them.
Xituo Ancient Town
Having seen the mountains, forests, and plants, one must also appreciate the cultural customs. The historical and cultural ancient town, which is on par with Wuzhen, is definitely worth visiting. Xituo Ancient Town is not only the gateway of Shizhu on the Yangtze River, but also a key tourist area. As early as the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, this place developed water and land trade, and was bustling with fireworks, attracting visitors.
The ancient town is filled with a strong historical atmosphere and also exudes a modern cultural and artistic atmosphere. The various attractions in the ancient town are also eye-catching, among which the most unique is the "First Street of the Yangtze River" - Yunti Street.
This street is very different from the streets we usually see. At first glance, it has a unique structure. The street is perpendicular to the Yangtze River, forming a dragon shaped upward path with a total length of 1.2km. It also gives people a feeling of renewal. Stepping up the stone staircase and surrounded by clouds and mist, it feels like they are in a fairyland.
Walking on the street, there are surviving Tujia residential stilted houses on both sides, with an antique and serene atmosphere. The various styles of inns, shops, tea houses, etc. also make people dazzled. However, the continuous sound of buying and selling along the road is combined with the movement of the buildings, making people feel calm and lively.
Walking through it, I just realized that the street layout is full of possibilities. The functional zoning of "front street, back market" and "front store, back hall" is very beneficial for tourists to observe and find.
Zhongyi Township
After being influenced by the ancient town, my heart has become much more peaceful. Time flew by, and without realizing it, we had arrived at the last stop of our journey - Zhongyi Township. Although it is one of the 18 deeply impoverished townships in Chongqing, it is also a national 4A level scenic spot with a variety of surrounding attractions, making it a rare tourist destination. The township not only has a rich ethnic culture, but also retains intact Tujia style courtyards. The tourism resources are very abundant, and many tourism projects have also been developed.
The forest coverage rate in the village is as high as 88%, and the air is not just fresh. Due to an average altitude of around 1000 meters, even if the scorching sun outside is scorching, the temperature here is still relatively comfortable and cool. Here, one can experience the combination of humanities and nature up close, the collision of art with history. Being here, the fatigue of the journey dissipates in the blink of an eye. It can be regarded as a resting place in busy life, where one can relax, be full of hope, and move forward better.
Reading ten thousand books is better than traveling ten thousand miles. Take advantage of the timing and the beautiful scenery ahead, hurry up and set off!
