Visiting Chongqing in early autumn, every appointment brings surprises

Chongqing, an increasingly popular city, is also an 8D city that many friends want to see its charm.

Every time I leave, what I can't forget is Chongqing hotpot. My friend's evaluation of Chongqing hotpot is that only after eating Chongqing hotpot do I realize that all the hotpot I have eaten before cannot be called hotpot. Chongqing is indeed the birthplace of hotpot.

As usual, the first stop upon arrival in Chongqing is still to check in at a hot pot restaurant.

The hotpot restaurant we searched for this time was truly a surprise on our journey, as it also brought us the wonders of Chongqing Raffles City.

Chongqing, with its unique and memorable mountain city, has numerous popular check-in spots for internet celebrities. Here are some examples, and the focus of this time is the Wulong Scenic Area.

1. [Chongqing urban area] Hongya Cave, Yangtze River cableway, Ciqikou, Monument to the people's Liberation, Wanghong Liziba Light Rail, etc

2. [Ordovician Garden] High altitude strolls, cloud covered bridges, glass bridges, cliff swings

3. [Wulong Scenic Area] Tiansheng Sanqiao, Longshui Gorge, Xiannv Mountain

4. [Three Gorges of the Yangtze River] Fengdu, Baidicheng, Changshou Village, Wushan, Three Gorges Dam

Nanbin Impression Old Hot Pot

The Nanbin Impression Hot Pot is located on the 3rd floor of the recently opened Chongqing Raffles City.

Walking at the entrance of the restaurant, the wooden boat is enveloped in smoke, and eating hotpot feels like being in a fairyland. Paired with brightly blooming flowers and trees, this atmosphere is hard to lose appetite.

The style of the store matches well with the fresh tableware, and the antique and elegant wall stickers have a rustic and fragrant taste.

Unable to resist, I quickly boarded the ship to eat hotpot. The first cup of tea after sitting down was Lao Yin tea. The biggest feature of Lao Yin tea is its coolness, thick and fragrant taste, and its ability to clear heat, detoxify, prevent heatstroke, and dissolve food. Lao Yin tea contains a certain amount of theophylline, which can effectively regulate the body's metabolism. Adding a cup of Lao Yin tea to the spicy and stimulating taste of Chongqing hotpot can relieve spiciness and reduce greasiness. So Lao Yin tea pairs perfectly with hot pot.

The signature health preserving mandarin duck soup pot is also very thoughtful, with a small circular white water in the middle. If you are afraid that foreign customers won't be able to enjoy the spicy food, you can blanch it in the white water. This is the first time I have seen such a thoughtful pot bottom design.

The vegetables in the health preserving Three–fresh soup and the meat dishes in the slightly spicy spicy red soup are clearly distributed. Both flavors of the pot bottom are fantastic, and every bite leaves a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.

Nine Foot Memory Goose Intestine: A particularly stunning dish, with a perfect swan shape. The fresh goose intestine is delicious and crispy, adding a chewy texture. Before starting, the waiter will use scissors to cut it from one side for easy blanching.

Nanbin Big Knife Waist Slices: The Big Knife Waist Slices are large, thin, and evenly thick. They are paired with a dry dipping dish prepared by the store, which contains a mixture of four dipping ingredients. The taste is excellent.

Premium Little Yellow Cattle Hanging Dragon: The meat is very fresh, with a bright red color and thin slices. The knife skills are excellent, and it is just right and tender after being blanched for about five seconds.

Linzhi Tibetan Incense Embroidery Fungus: Similar to Tremella fuciformis, it is quite delicious. It is a new dish in hot pot and is rarely seen on the menu.

Wanghongguo Meat rice dumpling: It's quite satisfying to have an ice rice dumpling with rich ingredients after eating hot pot.

The impression of Nanbin is not only elegant in indoor environment, but also has an extremely wide view of outdoor dining tables, unobstructed outdoor landscape space, and a panoramic view of the bustling old wharf in Chongqing.

If it's dinner at night, you can enjoy hot pot and chat about Chongqing while admiring the night view. It's really comfortable.

At first glance, I was moved and fell deeply in love with the impression of Nanbin during my first meal here.

Chongqing Raffles City

Raffles City is another landmark in Chongqing, with six curved towers facing north along the water, arranged in a staggered manner, like a giant ship setting sail.

On the way, passing by the trade and trading area of the 13th district of Chaotianmen, I believe this place used to be bustling, but now it is a very old scene.

Beicang Library

This time, instead of checking in on the light rail that passes through the mountainous city of Chongqing, the thrilling and exciting Ordovician period, and the dazzling Hongya Cave at night, I came to the literary and artistic Beicang Library.

The Chongqing Beicang Library, with its fresh and artistic style, is a comfortable and pleasant place to enjoy leisure and tranquility. It is also one of the must visit destinations for many friends coming to Chongqing.

The library is divided into three parts: urban public library, leisure and commercial area, and cultural and creative office area.

A cup of coffee or tea, a favorite book, sitting in a comfortable chair, spending a pleasant afternoon.

Here, you can easily take beautiful photos.

Chongqing Wulong Transportation Guide

◤ Train ◥

The train schedule information between Chongqing and Wulong is as follows:

There are a total of 5 trips per day, and trains are relatively convenient and affordable, making them the preferred mode of transportation for travel.

The ground of Ginkgo Avenue outside the Wulong Mountain Tourist Center is covered with yellow ginkgo leaves, shining brightly in the sunlight, creating a beautiful autumn atmosphere.

The pyramid tourist center at night is very beautiful, with charming colors changing.

Not far from the tourist center in Xiannv Town, there is an old wishing tree that is said to have a strong fairy aura and can make wishes.

The lush moss like plants on the branches are rarely seen, and some branches resemble the shape of hands.

The nearby park has a serene environment, and standing on its platform, one can admire the European style buildings in the distance, which are very beautiful.

Wulong Fairy Mountain Grassland

After finishing the delicious food and strolling around, in this early autumn season, I can't help but go to Wulong to enjoy another wave of coolness.

Wulong Fairy Mountain - known as the "Switzerland of the East" and the "Summer Palace of the Mountain City", take a small train here to enjoy the scenery. If you have enough time, it is recommended to walk and see the wind blowing on the grass and cows and sheep moving slowly. Don't rush to enjoy this leisurely time.

Small Train Sightseeing Route: Wooden Ladder - Great Grassland South Station - Bodhisattva Tuo - Longfeng Tiankeng - Great Grassland North Station - Wooden Ladder.

The running time of the small train is from January to April; From October to December, daily from 9:00-17:00

From May to September, the train departs every 30 minutes from 8:00 to 19:00 daily.

Xiannv Mountain can be considered as the backyard of Chongqing, especially in the summer when Chongqing, known as the "furnace", has a rhythm of steaming hot every time you go out. This is a summer resort.

Fairy Mountain Grassland Under the blue sky and white clouds, watching the galloping horses on the beautiful grassland. Cows and horses occasionally look up at you, then continue to lower their heads to eat grass, and there is a spectacular sight of white doves flying together.

Fairy Pool

The first stop after getting off the car is Xiannv Pool. Xiannv Pool is actually a very small lake hidden in the deep mountains, with a peaceful and beautiful environment. It is a place that few tourists set foot in, and it is also a good place for tourists to explore and dream. The pool is surrounded by steep mountains, dense forests, and dense grass, and the water is clear to the bottom, as pure and holy as jade like nectar.

The sky is very blue, the clouds are light, and the sunshine is warm.

Ma Niu Er is grazing and strolling by the pond, the water surface shimmering like a paradise on earth. I envy the residential house by the lake, where dogs bark and chickens play, and the beautiful living conditions.

The Tongtian Tower is actually an observation deck. It used to be an observation deck for monitoring forest fires in the Xiannv Mountain Forest Farm. It can be viewed from a high altitude. If you want to come here, it still requires some effort. There are currently no sightseeing buses in the scenic area that come here, so you can only hike.

Standing here at the observation deck, the view is very broad, allowing you to see the blue sky and white sky in the distance, which looks like cotton candy from afar, overlooking the lush green mountains.

Wulong Tiansheng Sanqiao Scenic Area It is the largest natural bridge group in the world. This is the filming location for the movies "Curse of the Golden Armor" and "Transformers 4".

The scenic area is connected by bridges and caves, and the bridges and caves are interconnected. There are also sinkholes between the caves where light can be seen. Ripples fly under the bridges and caves, and small bridges and flowing water flow in the middle of the river valley. One gorge, two pits, three bridges, four caves, and five springs form the unique characteristics of the scenic area.

Tianlong Bridge It is the bridge with the largest span among the three natural stone bridges, and also the one that looks most like an artificial bridge among the three stone bridges. The bridge holes and walls are square and very smooth, like the divine workmanship of nature. In October 2010, it attracted Hunan TV's "Brave Forward" program to explore here.

Qinglong Bridge It is the second natural bridge on the Yangshui River Canyon, the Dragon Bridge in the Underworld. It is named after the waterfall pouring into mist from the bridge deck after the rain, and the sunshine turning into a rainbow, resembling a green dragon soaring straight up.

Looking up from under the bridge, the arch holes are high and wide, the walls are towering, and the collapse sections of the cave roof are distributed in a parallel arc shape.

Black Dragon Bridge It is named after its deep and dark arch, resembling a black dragon winding through the cave roof.

The stone wall ape man and husband and wife stone here are lifelike.

The side walls and top cavities, dissolved pores, heavenly pots, flow marks, and other erosion of the tunnel are spectacular.

Glass Bridge At the Tiansheng Sanqiao Bridge in Wulong, the glass platform here is particularly suitable for enjoying the scenery. Looking down at your feet, you feel like you are floating in the air. Looking straight ahead at the lush green mountains ahead, the beautiful scenery is all in front of you.

The vertical ladder that goes down is right next to the entrance of Tiansheng Bridge, and it was also a necessary ladder for Tiansheng Bridge in the past.

David Camp Resort Hotel Adjacent to the tourist center of Fairy Mountain.

The public space in the hotel is good, with books to read, TV to watch, soft and comfortable sofas or individual seats.

Sitting down for a cup of coffee, chatting about interesting things, and relaxing when tired from wandering outside.

The outdoor venue is very suitable for sunbathing, and the blue sky and white clouds are very comfortable.

The room is comfortable and spacious, and when you open the window, you can see the Gold Tower Visitor Center and the distant mountains outside.

I love electric blankets so much. Open them in advance and the blanket will be very warm. Even though the temperature on the mountain is low, you will still not lack warmth.

The room is particularly spacious, with soft bedding and two comfortable beds that are mine, haha.

Watching TV in bed at night is very comfortable, feeling like one's own home.

The bathroom space is also very spacious. The hot water here is particularly abundant, and the water flow is very large, making it very comfortable to take a hot shower.

The toiletries are neatly arranged, clean and refreshing.
