A river with clear waters, green mountains on both sides,

The winding Fuling and Wulong are adjacent to each other,

A strip of water, drinking from the same river.

Fuwu and other regions are partners in the coordinated development of the first district and two clusters.

Due to its close proximity and similar topography, the magical karst phenomenon has contributed famous sinkholes, fissures, and caves to the Wulong Fairy Mountain, as well as the Fuling Rift Valley.

Recently, we followed the guidance of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee's Cyberspace Administration, Fuling& The theme activity of "Drinking the Wujiang River Together and Receiving New Answers from Fuwu" jointly organized by the Cyberspace Administration of Wulong District Committee visited the two places for three days and two nights for in-depth exploration.

Fuling Chapter

Fuling, taken from the "bank of the Fushui River and the tomb of the Ba King", was once the capital of Ba State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In the 30th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin (277 BC), Zhi County was established, located in the central part of Chongqing and the hinterland of the Three Gorges Reservoir area, at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Wujiang River. It has always been known as the gateway to southeastern Sichuan and has a rich cultural history.

1. Against the trend growth of industrial upgrading and strong industrial zones

Fuling is located at the junction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the Chengdu Chongqing Economic Circle, the Wujiang River Mainstream Development Zone, and the Wuling Mountain Poverty Alleviation and Development Zone. It is an important strategic pivot city in the main urban area of Chongqing, the core city of the Chongqing One Hour Economic Circle, and the eastern central city of the Chengdu Chongqing Economic Zone.

Fuling High tech Industrial Park

Fuling has achieved remarkable results in attracting investment in recent years. In 2021, Fuling District achieved a regional GDP of 140.274 billion yuan, a comparable increase of 8.7% compared to the previous year. It truly shoulders the strategic responsibility of connecting the east and west, along the Yangtze River, and radiating the Wujiang River.

Huawei Fuling Cloud Computing Big Data Center

As a strong industrial zone, Fuling has formed an industrial development pattern supported by six leading industries: materials, clean energy, consumer goods, equipment manufacturing, biomedicine, and electronic information, with the high-tech zone, Lingang Economic Zone, and Baitao New Materials Technology City as carriers.

This time we were able to visit Fuling High tech Industrial Park, Huawei Fuling Cloud Computing Big Data Center, Taiji Medical City Area A, and Huafeng Group.

Huafeng Group

Walking within the technology park, one will experience a rigorous to exquisite feeling: cutting-edge precision instruments, clean to cold factory buildings, high-tech that surprises people and makes them feel the fruits of technological innovation and development. Even outsiders can experience the charm of technology from a visual perspective.

It can be said that in addition to traditional industries, Fuling's industrial and high-tech industries have unlimited potential.

2. Meixin Red Wine Town is not just a replica of Foreigner Street

The Meixin Red Wine Town, located in Lin City, perfectly continues the style of the once famous Foreigner Street and the Red Wine Square near IKEA. The ubiquitous slogans carry a magical temperament and imaginative imagination, giving it an internet celebrity attribute that drives many people to take their children and elderly to check in.

The size of the town is larger than imagined. In addition to the theme amusement park, there are also leisure hotels, business receptions, wedding banquets, specialty homestays, and so on. However, no matter what functions it integrates in the scenic area, it has a strong recognition in operation. The exaggerated expressions and vivid colors make the entire town appear extremely detached from reality. This unique style can be said to be bold in the construction of scenic spots, and the tourism experience is also very special.

Castle homestays are a hot spot for checking in during the season, and the room names and soft furnishings of Sleeping Beauty and The Little Prince also perfectly match the scene of fairy tales. Walking down the road, standing by the river, the charm of the Wujiang River hits you head-on.

There are many handmade specialties such as dried noodles for sale in the park, and the once famous "Mantou with a large price of one yuan" in the Foreigner Street also has a long queue here. Even during the epidemic, the number of tourists here remains high, firmly occupying the top five in the city.

Like the Foreigner Street of the past, but with significant upgrades.

3. The 816 Project has a great youth called national secrets

The 816 Project is worth visiting by Chinese people, especially to provide patriotic education for children. Half of it is based on the scale of the project, and the other half is based on the will of the soldiers.

Standing in the 104 nuclear power plant and looking up vertically at the ten story power generation height, everyone in the industry truly felt what human will is.

Walking along the long corridor into the No. 9 diversion tunnel, it is easy to capture large-scale games like scenes inside the tunnel. This 3-kilometer-long diversion tunnel connects to the Wujiang River and has a water lifting height of 60 meters. It is mainly used as cooling water to supply the third circuit of the reactor.

Other scenes are also retro and mysterious. The bottom of the reactor pot on the third floor is the area with the strongest radiation in the entire project. After the project is put into operation, this place will be completely enclosed. In the movie "Me and My Motherland", Zhang Yi played the scientific researcher Gao Yuan, who was exposed to radiation at this stage. In order to keep it confidential, he couldn't give a word to his lover and left silently alone. In Baitao, there are tens of thousands of people who keep secrets like this.

The origin of the 816 Project can be traced back to the 1960s. At that time, China's first atomic bomb was successfully detonated in Lop Nur, Xinjiang, and international relations were also complicated. The grand Third Front Construction Project began, and Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou decided to establish a nuclear factory in the southwestern region of our country's rear area. This top secret military industrial complex used to manufacture nuclear materials was ultimately located in Baitao Town, Fuling.

In order to maintain confidentiality, the town of Baitao was directly erased from the map, and tens of thousands of people were secretly transported to Fuling. They worked for 18 years, eventually excavating the entire mountain, stacking 25 kilometers of axial lines, and more than 130 channels. They excavated 1.51 million cubic meters of soil... capable of withstanding the impact of millions of tons of hydrogen bomb air explosions and earthquakes of magnitude 8!

In 1984, due to changes in the international situation, the 816 project was announced to be suspended. Due to the special circumstances, he has always been a state secret, and the builders kept it a secret. They never mentioned their past to anyone for a long time. It was not until April 8, 2002, when the 816 project was decrypted, that they finally agreed to return together to the place where they struggled in their youth, search for the ruins of that year, and offer a bouquet of flowers to their departed comrades.

These young people who have left have an average age of only 21 years old.

We found a documentary online about an old soldier returning to his original location to visit his comrades. When we saw them searching for the names of their comrades from other places among a series of comrades' names, the barrage said, 'No one can hold back their tears.'.

4. The Special Romance of the Industrial History of the Republic at the Site of the 816 Military Factory

The 816 town adjacent to the 816 project is the site of a military equipment factory that was built during the same period as the 816 project. Another work of the town's design and operation unit is the Guanyin Bridge North Warehouse, which shares similar artistic genes with North Warehouse and relies more on local mountains and rivers. The theme exhibition halls such as the 816 Military Exhibition Hall, Industrial History Exhibition Hall, and Third Line History Exhibition Hall in the park have also provided detailed supplements to the history of the 816 project and the details of the items from that time, making it very suitable for study tours and family trips.

This is a special romance with military industry and the times, presenting the Republic's industry and history in a way that is both beautiful and sacred.

The designer has created a side restaurant, Fanghua Theater, cafeteria, bookstore, and homestay here, blending retro style with modern elements. Tourists who visit here every weekend will put up various designs on the prominent "816" sign on the cliff edge and post them on their social media.

2、 Wulong Chapter

If Fuling's scenic spots are amazed by people's will and creativity, it has been known as the "gateway to Chongqing and Guizhou" since ancient times. Located in the lower reaches of the Wujiang River, Wuling Mountain, and Dalou Mountain Canyon, Wulong has even more unique natural resources. With the help of karst landforms, it effortlessly possesses the power of nature - developing unique and rich geological wonders such as caves, sinkholes, fissures, canyons, and peak clusters in China. It has been honored with titles such as World Natural Heritage, National 5A Tourist Area, National Tourist Resort, and National Geopark. It is a tourist destination in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area of the Yangtze River that combines grandeur, wonder, danger, steepness, elegance, tranquility, and uniqueness.

1. White Horse Mountain Tianchi Love Play is not just about heartbeat

On the way from Fuling to Wulong, we first wandered around Baima Mountain.

The Baima Mountain Tianchi Love Scenic Area is located on a mountain ridge, at an altitude of about 1200 meters. The Flying Kiss, which is popular all over the internet, is the iconic building of the Prince and Fairy Flying Kiss across the river. The Prince and Fairy each hold a flying island and spin it and spin it again... The base of the Flying Kiss is on the edge of the cliff, with a vertical drop of more than 1000 meters from the bottom of the Wujiang River. The total height of the main body is 52 meters, making it the only twin flying island in the world. We entered the flying island and rose to a height of 55 meters above the ground as the island moved. The pleasure of adrenaline secretion was particularly strong!

Whether the fairy and the prince kiss or not is actually not important. Looking up at the fairy mountain on the flying island and overlooking the rolling Wujiang River, the sea of clouds is layered, and the cliffs are all under one's feet. Looking around, there is no end to it. This place is truly called Wangxian Cliff.

The park has a large planning area, including children's play areas, climbing areas, stone forest treehouses, and stone forest mazes, which are suitable for parent-child travel; Feitian Cable Bridge, also known as Tongxin Bridge, has romantic check-in spots for couples such as Love Cube and True Love Hall within the area; The adventure jungle is very unique and suitable for the whole family to go on the battlefield together. Anyway, I jumped and screamed the whole time to enjoy it.

The total length of the inner ring road in the scenic area is 9.98 kilometers, including a sightseeing lane, a walking path, a bicycle lane, stop and go, watching the sunrise and sunset, leisurely walking to Gongcha Garden to enjoy a cup of clear tea, which can be considered as stealing half a day of leisure.

2. The art garden of the Lazy Dam Zen Realm Art Resort, where pink and black flowers sway

The temperament of Xiannv Mountain Lazy Dam is also truly lazy. Located in the core area of Xiannv Mountain Resort in Wulong, Chongqing, more than 40 artists have devoted themselves to creating a 600 acre land art garden, which includes many popular attractions such as Moss Museum, Lazy Dam Art Museum, Heartbeat Museum, Cliff Glass Restaurant, etc. It is currently the most popular art sightseeing and check-in destination.

Under the dome of the Moss Museum, when you set your phone to a 0.5 ultra wide angle, the photos you take will be so exciting that they will explode!

It's the best season to go to the Lazy Dam Resort at this time. The pink, black, and messy grass is already half a person tall, and whether it's connected or viewed alone, it's incredibly beautiful. Any color scale that reaches its peak is awe inspiring, especially when immersed in it. A gentle breeze blows, creating layers of pink waves that are breathtakingly beautiful.

The sea of pink and white flowers on the high mountains is another beautiful scenery, with pink and white swaying on one side and towering peaks on the other. The autumn Lazy Dam Resort is colorful, and every snap is a big picture.

3. Boxiang Art Museum's New Cultural and Tourism Complex

There are also very contemporary buildings on Xiannv Mountain, and the Boxiang Art Museum is also part of the new cultural and tourism complex - Boxiang Yongshan Water Culture Town. The irregular white facades are spliced together, giving it a strong sense of tension and fashion.

Despite being located in a resort area, it still maintains a high level of professionalism as an art museum. The Boxiang Art Museum, with the theme of "City of Mountains and Rivers, Beautiful Land", regularly holds national academic exchanges, solo exhibitions, joint exhibitions, and large-scale national exhibitions for famous calligraphers and painters. In the two years since its opening, it has held a series of cultural and artistic activities and invited more than 200 contemporary Chinese cultural and artistic experts and giants who are chairpersons of various provincial art associations to come to Wulong for sketching and academic exchanges.

The Boxiang Art Museum is an important component of the Boxiang Yongshan Water Culture Town and a core platform for promoting the integration of culture and tourism. While hosting various high-end art activities and promoting traditional cultural exchanges, the Boxiang Art Museum has also become a gathering place for domestic and foreign art masters and art treasures. It is also an important achievement in promoting the development of cultural tourism integration in Wulong District.

4. Born in Sanqiao - Fairy Mountain from Spectacular to Gentle

The true Fairy Mountain Scenic Area is actually well-known to all Chongqing residents. Those who have not visited Tiansheng Sanqiao and Furong Cave should first check in, as they are the world's largest geological wonder of Tiansheng Bridge Group. Many outsiders come from thousands of miles away to visit, and the night performance of "Impression Wulong" is also a must see.

The natural drop of the canyon is 180 meters, and the stage extends to the stands. The natural sound of the canyon echoes around, and the most exciting part is that in a dance, all the actors are divided into five straight lines, directly passing through the audience aisle and standing beside the live audience to dance. There is also a lead dancer in the middle of the audience, whose dance moves are very unrestrained, leading the audience to dance along. The grand scene of hundreds of people dancing together makes people feel a huge spiritual shock firsthand.

Tiansheng Sanqiao and live performances are both worth visiting again and again. In addition, I have been to Xiannv Mountain all year round, but I never get tired of it. The forest and snow fields in winter, and the 100000 acres of grassland in spring and summer, although they are all clich é s, seem endless due to their vastness.

Summer vacation should be the time when the population density of Xiannv Mountain is the highest, and hundreds of thousands of Chongqing people come here to escape the heat.

The upcoming season of crisp autumn air is the most pleasant time for various sports such as horseback riding, archery, karting, off-road vehicles, paragliding, and grass skiing.

Next, the weather will cool down enough for skiing and eating roasted lamb. The 60000 square meter artificial ski resort can accommodate 3000 people for skiing at the same time, skiing every day, various types of skiing (snowboarding, skiing circles, ski boats...), and after skiing, you must eat roasted lamb, right? Besides grassland sheep, potatoes are also well-known on Xiannv Mountain.

Other recommended attractions——

Furong Cave: As the core scenic spot of South China Karst Karst World Natural Heritage and China National Geopark, Furong Cave is also called "the best cave in the world" by tourists, and is called the three largest caves in the world together with the "Mammoth Cave" in the United States and the "Klamath Cave" in France. Its shafts are the largest group of shafts found at home and abroad, covering almost all types of stalactite deposits. It is a gorgeous underground art palace and a rich cave science museum.

Furong River: Furong River, known as "Furong River has more beautiful water than Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area Valley, and its scenery remains the same as that of Daning River", is a small scale and large capacity karst landform and original aquatic forest scenic spot with waterfowl flying, thousands of scenes and charming scenery, known as aquatic karst forest.

Impression of Wu Long: Zhang Yimou's team uses unique perspectives and artistic techniques to bring the audience a perfect audio-visual enjoyment and spiritual shock with the disappearing theme of "Hao Zi".
