In July 2020, the domestic epidemic was brought under control and domestic independent travel was opened up. I have always wanted to go to Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area and Huanglong to see, because the travel has just been opened, and the air ticket and hotel prices are at the lowest point. I booked a trip to Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area, from Shanghai to Chongqing on July 23, and then transferred to Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area on July 24. In the evening of July 26, Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area flew to Wuxi to transfer to high-speed rail back to Shanghai. However, man is not as good as day. After arriving at the airport on the 24th, the flight to Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area was notified to cancel due to weather conditions, and there was no subsequent flight to Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area. In August 2017, I booked a ticket to the hotel and planned to go to Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area. Later, an earthquake occurred. This is the second time that I have failed to go to Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area. If it comes, then settle down. Returned the ticket of Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area to Wuxi, and bought the ticket of Chongqing back to Shanghai on the 26th, so we can enjoy a three-day trip to Chongqing. Shortly after booking a trip to Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area, a domestic inter provincial tour was opened, and ticket and hotel prices began to rise. It is difficult to have the current price when you go to Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area next time. In order not to leave any regrets, we plan to go to Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area Huanglong for the third time in the near future.

I visited Chongqing 5 years ago and spent 6 days there. Most of the scenic spots in Chongqing have been there, but I left two regrets at that time. I didn't go to Dazu Rock Carvings, the only historical and cultural heritage in Chongqing, and didn't take a good look at the porcelain mouth. Unable to go to Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area, this trip will make up for the regret of the previous trip to Chongqing.

Please take a day off on Friday, and go to the airport with great excitement after work on Thursday. I came to Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area with my heart in my heart (I didn't know that the flight would be canceled tomorrow).

Dinner at the airport, meeting up with friends, security check and boarding all went smoothly before flying to Chongqing.

Airplane: Air China CA4556 20:00 Pudong T2=23:00 Chongqing Jiangbei T3

The flight arrived early at Chongqing Airport and booked a car pick-up to go to the hotel.

Because I planned to go to Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area tomorrow, I didn't have time to see the night scene of Hongya Cave and eat Chongqing hotpot. Let the driver take us directly to Hongyadong first.

Arriving at Hongya Cave at around 23:30, the lights were still on while waiting for the red light in the car. However, a few minutes later, when arriving at Hongya Cave, all the lights were turned off, making it impossible to see the night view of Hongya Cave.

I wandered around Hongyadong Commercial Street for a while and went to Chongqing Hot Pot Restaurant for a late night snack.

Shen Teng chose Dongfu Old Hot Pot, which is not far from the hotel and Hongyadong. He has been to this restaurant before.

It was about 12:30 when I arrived at the hotpot restaurant and ordered the Double-flavor hot pot. I specifically told the waiter that the spicy pot should be less spicy and slightly spicy.

There aren't many people at the hot pot restaurant in the middle of the night, but there are still a few seats available one after another, which shows the love of Chongqing people for hot pot.

The slightly spicy hotpot is too spicy to take a bite, so we can only use a white soup pot. Chongqing hotpot seasoning does not have satay sauce, and the seasoning is light. If you don't eat spicy food, you still feel that Shanghai hotpot is delicious.

After finishing the meal, the two of them ate nearly 300 yuan, and the price was not low.

Walking navigation back to the hotel, Chongqing walking navigation will take you hiking, walking on mountain roads. Cycling navigation is more effortless.

The hotel is good, with high cost-effectiveness. The linen and bed are both very comfortable.

July 24th, D2 Chongqing (Accommodation: Huixianlou Hotel, Chongqing)

The original plan was to fly to Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area this evening, so today we arranged a one-day trip to Chongqing.

In the morning, check out of the hotel and take bus 322 to Zhongxing Road, the mountain city trail near the Yuzhong District Court.

Along the way up the mountain, there are creative small shops and snack shops. I bought 2 rice cakes for breakfast.

Coming early, many coffee shops and small shops have not started operating.

Afternoon or evening should be a place where literary and artistic youth gather.

There are some shops and riverside roads in the first half of the trail, and forests in the second half.

Along the Yangtze River Road, you can see the bridge, and Chongqing is still under continuous construction, with many bridges and buildings under construction.

The weather was hot, and I didn't walk for long and got soaked all over.

As we were about to reach the second half of the forest, we took a detour down the mountain and navigated to the Qixinggang subway station.

Then the subway goes to Lianglukou Station, where there is the popular Crown Escalator. Huang Bo and others have filmed extreme challenges here.

The Crown Escalator is the second longest escalator in the world, connecting the Lianglukou Subway Station and Caiyuanba Railway Station.

The escalator itself is just a tool for people to climb up and down the mountain, and there is nothing special about it. The cost of taking the escalator is 2 yuan per person.

This attraction is not highly recommended.

Afterwards, continue taking the subway to the internet famous Liziba subway station to see the light rail passing through the building.

There are quite a few individual and group tourists here, witnessing the internet famous Chongqing light rail passing through buildings.

It's already past 11 o'clock at noon, and today's lunch plan is to eat the characteristic chicken offal from Ciqiduo Ancient Town.

Take the subway to Ciqikou and stroll around the ancient town while heading to the unique chicken offal shop in the center of the town.

Boil hotpot pot bottom

The shop owner said that his house has a history of over 300 years.

We cannot accept the request for a slightly spicy dish from the waiter when ordering.

You can only dip it in boiling water to wash away the spiciness before eating, but at the same time, it also washes away the freshness.

After finishing, continue to explore the ancient town, where commercialization is quite severe.

There are several small paths and coffee shops that are quite artistic and quiet, but I couldn't take a closer look in a hurry.

After leaving the Magnetic Pass, take Metro Line 1 to Xiaoshizi and experience the Yangtze River Cableway.

As soon as we got out of the subway, someone told us that they had been waiting in line for at least an hour on the Yangtze River Cableway, but ignored them and continued to buy tickets.

I asked the staff, there's no need to queue at all. The scammer just now probably wants us to follow him and go to other scenic spots to play.

The Yangtze River cableway goes to the other side of the Yangtze River, takes a rest for a while, and takes photos of fear

On the way to the airport by subway and to the subway station.

The boarding pass was changed and the security check successfully arrived at the boarding gate. The arrival time broadcast informed the cancellation of the flight to Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area due to weather reasons. At that time, the whole person was not doing well, extremely disappointed, but there was no way.

Back to the airline counter, there will be no flights to Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area tomorrow morning. Forget it, I have to leave Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area.

Contact and return the hotel and car in Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area, return the ticket, return the ticket to Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area and return to Wuxi.

In a state of low mood, regret, and anger, take the subway back to the city.

The Zhao family courtyard near Hongyadong continues to eat hot pot. This hot pot restaurant is better than the previous day, and the slight spiciness is acceptable.

I booked a hotel for tonight and a chartered bus and tickets for Dazu tomorrow while having dinner.

After finishing eating, I went to Hongyadong to see the night view, but I can imagine my current mood.

Exhausted after a day's struggle, I walked to Monument to the people's Liberation to clock in.

I booked the Huixianlou Hotel temporarily and received a high online rating. But in reality, in a building, you can see the river view. Maybe it feels old and not very clean.

July 25th D3 Chongqing (Accommodation: Chongqing Ciqikou Manxin Scenic Hotel)

At 9 o'clock, the chartered driver came to the hotel to pick us up and take us to Dazu.

There is a slight traffic jam on the road. It takes about 2 hours to arrive at Dazu Rock Carvings in Baoding Mountain. This is the essence of Dazu Rock Carvings.

The scale of construction in the scenic area is large, with lecture halls, museums, restaurants, etc. Actually, the real stone carving area is not very large.

Enter the scenic area and take a sightseeing bus to the entrance of Dazu Rock Carvings Area to visit Baoding Mountain Stone Carving.

I prefer ancient history and relics. I bought WeChat to explain and listen to the history and meaning of stone carvings while visiting.

The stone carvings are in the mountains, and the mosquitoes here are also quite fierce.

After visiting, take a sightseeing bus from the exit to a restaurant near the museum for lunch. The all vegetarian buffet is delicious.

Then visit the Dazu Rock Carvings Museum, which mainly introduces the stone carving art in various places with photos.

Finally, the sightseeing bus leaves the scenic area and continues to the next stop, Beishan Stone Carving.

The Beishan stone carvings are much smaller than the Baoding Mountain stone carvings, and you can finish reading them after listening to the explanation for a while.

On the mountain opposite the Beishan Stone Carving Exit, there are two large Buddhas and multiple pagodas. Dragging his tired body up the mountain, he took a look.

On the return trip, the driver was sent to the porcelain gate and stayed at the magnet gate at night to make up for the regret of not exploring the magnet gate in detail.

Staying at the Manxin Scenic Hotel by the river, the hotel is good and you can directly see the river view.

Strolling through the ancient town, I visited every corner of it.

Dinner was served at Yangjilong Mansion not far from the ancient town, which has also opened a branch in Shanghai.

I ordered some special fish, it tastes good. Spicy chicken, so numbing that it can't be eaten.

Walk back to the hotel and explore the ancient town along the way.

At this point, the noise of the day had subsided, and most shops had closed. Many bars are still open, and there are resident singers in the bars.

Return to the hotel to rest.

July 26th D4 Chongqing ->; Shanghai

It started raining heavily in the middle of the night, and the air in the ancient town was particularly fresh in the morning, with the temperature dropping significantly.

We left at 10 o'clock to continue exploring the ancient town when the rain stopped.

I had breakfast at the King Oil Tea.

Arrive at the subway station after 11 o'clock and head to the airport.

Western Airlines is located in Jiangbei T2, which has been very quiet since the opening of T3 terminal.

Arrive at the airport after 12 o'clock and change your boarding pass. Lunch at the airport is expensive and not tasty.

After entering the security checkpoint, there are several good restaurants.

The flight from Chongqing to Shanghai is delayed by another 3 hours.

Airplane: Western Airlines PN6373 14:35 Chongqing Jiangbei T2=17:10 Shanghai Pudong T2

I left the airport around 9 pm and went home.

This trip was not very lucky, accompanied by flight cancellations and delays. I didn't reach the Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area Valley I wanted to visit most, but the Dazu Rock Carvings are also worth visiting. After visiting Dazu Rock Carvings this time, I left my footprints in all the five most famous stone carvings in China.

Next stop is Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area.
