Based on each precious cultural relic collection, Laigu deeply excavates the historical and cultural connotations behind Banan, and carefully arranges exhibitions through rich and three-dimensional exhibition techniques, creating an exhibition style with a strong Ba cultural and historical atmosphere.

Banan District has nearly 60 kilometers of Yangtze River coastline, and the winding river water nurtures the creatures along the coast. From animals in the Pleistocene to early humans, Banan has always been a beautiful home for them. The ancestors of ancient Banan experienced the "slash and burn" practices of primitive times here. Here, we will feel the "golden spear and iron horse" of Ba country, witness the "changes in the weather" of Ba county, and taste the "spring flowers and autumn fruits" of Ba county. The earth has left their footprints, and history has remembered their stories!

Ba County patriots have written epic struggles for national independence, democratic progress, and social stability, and have produced a large number of key figures with broad influence. They inherit the spirit of Ba, innovate and promote the continuous progress of history. Despite the passage of time and changes, the soul of Ba still exists.

The Tropical Rainforest Pavilion includes coral exhibition area, jellyfish exhibition area, and tropical rainforest exhibition area. The Ocean Pavilion includes shark exhibition area, children's aquarium, and other venues where visitors can see polar bears, penguins, and more.

I particularly like the jellyfish exhibition area, where various jellyfish of different sizes and colors can perform freely in the water, showcasing their dance moves. Does the jellyfish in Figure 5 look like a painting?

⭐ Highlight 5: Hot Springs

Banan has South Hot Springs and East Hot Springs ♨️， There is a popular slide in Nanwenquan, where you can enjoy a thrilling ride on the forest track.

Among the famous "Old Five Springs" in Chongqing, Nanwenquan is the closest hot spring to the city center. If you don't want to spend more time or money on your journey, then Nanwenquan is your must visit place. South Hot Springs is located on the banks of Huaxi River in Nanquan Town, Banan District, only 18 kilometers away from the city center. In addition to hot springs, there are also attractions such as the "Peidu" ruins, Jianwen ruins, and Xiannv Cave. Rowing can also be done within the scenic area.

⚠️ Slips and falls while riding, grab onto the handle with both hands, exert force to move forward and press back to brake. When encountering a turn, be sure to slow down and maintain a safe distance from the person in front. Prepare your backpack and fasten your seat belt. Up to two people can ride, with a high safety factor.

Dongwenquan is one of the Five Directions and Ten Springs in Chongqing, which is loved by many old Chongqing residents. Xiuquan Yingyue Hot Spring Garden Hotel is located in Dongquan Town, Banan District. It has natural hot springs and is surrounded by green trees, creating a peaceful and pleasant environment.

Hotel rooms can also soak in hot springs ♨️

But it's still more atmospheric to go to the big pool downstairs.

Girls who love taking photos can choose a bright colored swimsuit, pay attention to the fog on the camera, and stabilize the equipment to avoid falling into the water. Generally, after soaking for about 15 minutes, it will come out for some fresh air. If you feel chest tightness, it is not suitable to soak again.

There is a transparent small boat in the center that can be used for swinging, but it is difficult to get on and off. When fellow travelers get off, they capsize and are afraid of choking on a lot of water due to the tight water. Be sure to pay attention to safety.

There is a free fish therapy available at the entrance of the men's and women's changing rooms. People who are sensitive to itching may not be able to do it, but they can experience it.

⭐ Highlight 6: Yunzhuanshan Forest Park

Yunzhuan Mountain is one of the old "Ba Yu Twelve Scenic Spots" and "Ba Nan New Eight Scenic Spots" in Chongqing, with the most primitive pastoral life here. There are countless farmhouses scattered on the mountain, and weekend self driving tours are great.

There is a Fei Ning Farm on Yunzhuan Mountain, and the fruits on the farm are already ripe this season. At first glance, I thought it was an orange, but when I peeled it open and ate it, it became sour. Later, I found out it was a red lemon.

It's really super sour, just add some honey and it's perfect.

Red lemons are quite valuable and have a relatively low yield, with a price of approximately 80 yuan per kilogram. It can be deeply processed into lemon paste and lemon drink, with a sour and sweet taste, and has the function of generating saliva and quenching thirst. The taste is also easy to accept.

There is a cow bee not far away, a family of bees 🐝 A themed park. There are many pentagonal plums in the courtyard that can be photographed.

The passion fruit on top of the courtyard is scientifically fed with honey.

You can see bees shaking on site and learn a lot about bees and honey, so you won't be afraid to buy fake honey in the future.

Stay at a hotel on the mountain in the evening.

⭐ Highlight 7: Nanhu Colorful Botanical Garden - Yunlin Tianxiang

There are four varieties of maple trees in the scenic area, including Japanese Red Maple, Chinese Red Maple, Three Seasons Red Maple, and Chicken Claw Maple. The best viewing time is from late November to the end of December.

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~

To appreciate the red maple, you can also stay at the "Yi Cha" homestay for a while
