Xiliutuo Town

This Xiliutuo Town, built on Lijiatuo North Road in Banan, is the "Ciqikou" of Banan District~

The buildings here are very classical and cool, and you can take big shots at any time, especially when walking on the antique streets in Hanfu, there is a sense of time travel in a trance.

The tallest building here is undoubtedly the Gratitude Tower, which stands seven stories tall and offers a panoramic view of the entire town.

The antique gratitude tower carries the aura of an internet celebrity, especially at night, it is particularly stunning because it is so beautiful. On Fridays and Saturdays, there will be the first tower light show in Southwest China, which is particularly exciting~

Find some leisure time to leisurely stroll around the small town, stepping on the cobblestone road, surrounded by numerous shops along the street, and taste the town's cuisine. There are no crowds of people here, but rather some leisure time.

Huaxi LIVE

Huaxi LIVE, the new landmark of sports, entertainment and shopping in Banan District, Chongqing, is also an upgraded version of Beijing Wukesong Stadium.

Huaxi LIVE creates a 5-hour urban living circle through immersive interactive experiences in culture, sports, entertainment, arts, education, and lifestyle.

Huaxi LIVE · Fish Cave consists of multiple composite commercial and cultural venues, including Huaxi Sports Center, M Space, HI-ZONE Sports Stadium, Hi Up Commercial Center, and Huaxi LIVE · 023 Residential Community.

This sports arena is the largest in the southwest region, capable of accommodating around 16000 people and meeting the needs of international level events and high-end performances.

A while ago, Danmei watched a concert of idol here. There is a direct subway here, and the transportation is very convenient~

Hanhai Ocean Park

Hanhai Ocean Park has always been a favorite marine park to visit. It can satisfy your curiosity about the underwater world and is a great place to travel all year round. The nearby Whale and Dolphin Bay Water World is a great place to play water in summer~

The Ocean Park currently has two major venues, the Tropical Rainforest Pavilion and the Ocean Pavilion, with a visiting area of 23000 square meters and showcasing hundreds of marine species. The venue includes 12 distinctive themed exhibition areas, including "360 ° panoramic coral reef", "Galaxy Jellyfish Pavilion", "Pandora Square", "Sea God Temple", and "Shark Pavilion".

I really like the Galaxy Jellyfish Pavilion. The various colors of jellyfish are very beautiful, making people unable to resist stopping and watching for a long time.

The entire oceanarium is perfect for taking photos~Taking pictures with jellyfish and sharks, the beauty of living alone~

Banan Museum

I always like to visit local museums when I go to a place, and Banan also has a museum with a rich collection of works. After visiting, I have a deeper understanding of Banan.

Visiting the Banan Museum allows you to fully understand Banan's long history and the leisurely agricultural culture of ancient times.

As the first modern museum in Banan, the entire building covers an area of 1800 square meters and houses over 3000 cultural relics, ranging from ancient human tools to various modern and contemporary objects, spanning over a million years.

South Hot Spring Slide

The slide of South Hot Spring is so popular that Tiktok can be said. This time when we saw the true face of Mount Lushan, we had to sigh about its magic.

First, take the Nanwenquan Sightseeing Cableway, which is 880 meters long with a vertical drop of 250 meters. Take a sightseeing cableway to enjoy the scenery along the way and overlook the beautiful panoramic view of Nanquan Hot Springs.

It is said that the slide on Jianwen Peak is the longest slide in Asia, with a length of 2280 meters and a speed of up to 40 kilometers per hour. It controls the speed of the slide and dives down from the mountaintop, crossing through the jungle and taking 28 sharp turns, sometimes straight and sometimes steep, accelerating one after another. It has to be said that it is too thrilling and exciting~

PS: Business hours 09:00-16:30

The cableway up ticket and slide down ticket are 98 yuan/person. Children under 1.2 meters must be accompanied by an adult.

Yunzhuan Mountain

As one of the old "Ba Yu Twelve Scenic Spots" and "Ba Nan New Eight Scenic Spots" in Chongqing, this place has the most primitive pastoral life. Find a free day to stay at a farmhouse here and enjoy the natural scenery~

Fei Ning Farm

There is a imperial lemon farm on Yunzhuan Mountain, and the lemons on the farm are in season at this time. From a distance, lemons look like small lanterns hanging from trees, especially beautiful.

At first, I thought it was an orange, but it was actually a red lemon. Using it to extract juice and adding a little honey, the taste is really amazing. Picking slowly in the orchard and experiencing the joy of picking it yourself, there is a sense of returning to nature.

At 30 degrees north latitude, with purple soil and twelve years of natural farming, it has nurtured the unique Yunzhuan Mountain Concubine Lemon.

The orchard is also a great place to take photos, but don't pick it randomly~

Lemon is deeply processed into lemon paste and lemon drink, with a sour and sweet taste, as well as the function of generating saliva and quenching thirst. It is also a great gift for family and friends.

Cow bee seeds

Yunzhuan Mountain is not only a backyard for bees to collect honey, but also a courtyard full of blooming triangular plum blossoms from cows and bees. From a distance, it looks very beautiful.

Taking photos in the courtyard, I feel like my mood has improved a lot~

And honey is the highlight here. You can see them shaking and tasting real natural honey on site at the Beekeeping Farm.

The bee farm here has applied for several patents, and the honey is very crystal clear and has a particularly good taste. I couldn't help but take a few pounds to give to my friends and family, after all, it's really delicious~

Nanhu Colorful Botanical Garden

The Nanhu Colorful Botanical Garden is the largest red maple forest viewing area in the main city. This season, the area is still covered in red maple leaves, and I can't help but take various photos~

The Colorful Botanical Garden is located adjacent to Nanhu Lake in Chongqing, built against the mountains and relying on each other. Every autumn, the red leaves bloom, and the maple leaves that cover the mountains and fields are truly super beautiful~

The red maple trees of this season may not be as strong as those in early autumn, but they are still beautiful and can be captured in a big shot at any time~

There are yellow and red leaves alternating, it's really beautiful~

Going down there is also a lake and a parent-child amusement park, where families with children can also find fun. On weekends, come to Nanhu Colorful Botanical Garden to admire red maple trees, and then play at the parent-child amusement park for a while. It's so relaxing~

Yunlin Tianxiang

Yunlin Tianxiang, where rapeseed flowers and Gesang flowers bloom every year, is truly beautiful. The terrain here is flat and open, surrounded by winding mountains and fresh air, making it an excellent place to visit on weekends. Although it's not the time to admire flowers at this time, you can still see the red maple trees~

Walking in the red maple forest, there is a feeling of returning to the countryside. Especially refreshing and invigorating~

There are homestays in Yunlin Tianxiang, and the owners have restored them to their original state, giving them a rustic appearance. The houses are made of earthen walls and tiles, and the simple decoration style makes people feel simple and comfortable~

The rest area, tea tasting area, audio-visual room, conference room, restaurant, and small bar are fully functional and well-equipped, making them suitable for unit meetings, friend gatherings, and family outings.

Surrounding the homestay are tea gardens, hydrangeas that can be seen everywhere, and small cabbages planted in the garden. There are also free range chickens, giving off a mountain life of escaping the city.

Xiuyue Yingquan Hot Spring Hotel

Chongqing, as the capital of hot springs, has abundant hot spring resources in Banan. Dongwenquan is one of the Five Directions and Ten Springs in Chongqing. Xiuquan Yingyue Hot Spring Garden Hotel is located in Dongquan Town, Banan District. It not only has natural hot springs, but also is surrounded by green trees, creating a peaceful and pleasant environment.

Staying at the hotel and soaking in a hot spring at night, watching a movie, is really relaxing~And there is also a private soup in the room to soak in, which will make you sleep more deeply after soaking in the hot spring.

Banan has beautiful mountains and waters, as well as countless delicious foods. This time, we have selected several very good restaurants, such as Tongue Tip Kung Fu Cuisine, Chef Ba County Restaurant, and Divine Beast Fish · Whole Fish Feast, all of which have good taste~
