The May Day holiday around Chongqing is starting. Where should I go? Are you interested in the Rose Sea, which is a 1-hour driving tour from the main city of Chongqing? Do you yearn for the large tracts of tricolored wall and the romantic scenes of bees flying and butterflies dancing? There is such a place full of roses of all colors. The flower fields and paths under the blue sky and white clouds are as beautiful as the Wizard of Oz in a fairy tale world ~

Thousands of roses bloom with the most beautiful smiles, and the next look at the flower gallery is the dazzling brilliance of Baimeisheng! Perhaps the locals don't know much about this place, so there is no endless flow of people. Although it is beautiful, it is very low-key. You may be able to feel the beauty of contracting a sea of flowers when you come here! Yes, the place I am talking about is Huayu Youyou Valley in the western suburbs of Tongliang, Chongqing. Maybe this is the next place for Internet celebrities to check in!

Xijiao Huayu Youyou Valley includes 24 villages in Tongliang No. 5 Town Street, with a vast area of about 120 square kilometers. By building a 50-kilometer greenway, the Leaf Blossom Research Base, the Xijiao Dongyu Color Nursery Base, and the Xijiao Rose Industry Base, Xijiao Youyou Valley·Rose Date, Chengwang Fruit Industry, Heheyuan Township, Mutang Pure Strawberry Base, Xinlu Organic Vegetable Base, Huangjiaomen Qicai Dream Garden, Bayue Mountain Xuantian Lake, etc. are connected in series. During the May Day holiday, you can't even visit so many places!

It was purely a coincidence that my daughter-in-law liked to take photos, and she happened to hear that the roses in the Rose Valley in the western suburbs of Tongliang were blooming just right, so she asked some friends to drive to Tongliang for a one-day trip. Due to time, we only visited three points in the western suburbs: Rose Island, Xuantian Lake, and Bougainvillea Research Base.

Rose Island is the most popular place on this trip. More than 50 rose treasures such as Oriental Red, Fairy, Pink Swan, Affective Rose, Rose Country Angel, Pink Fan, Wonderland, Golden Phoenix, and Caiyun are planted in it. As soon as they entered the island, the ladies seemed very excited and couldn't wait to take photos. Maybe every girl can't refuse roses! This is a check-in place that makes young girls 'hearts burst. Bring your goddess here and you will definitely make beautiful women laugh.

The roses on the island are colorful, red, yellow, pink and white. It is really a beautiful scenery with hundreds of flowers competing for each other. In addition to the main roses, there are also different varieties of flowers such as hydrangea and rose. It is said that the flowering period here can last from the end of April to October, and it will not let you go to check in.

In addition to the roses planted in pieces, the island has also built an arched garland corridor, which looks very dreamy and is especially suitable for taking photos and checking in. Walking among them, I really feel like I am replaced in a dream sea of flowers! Roses symbolize beauty, romance, and love, so this is also a great place to take parent-child photos and wedding photos.

After taking photos on Rose Island, we drove to the Bougainvillea Research Base. The two places were not too far away and only took about 20 minutes to drive. What is built here is the largest bougainvillea industrial park in the country. Roads and some infrastructure were still under construction when we came, but many tourists still came to visit.

This bougainvillea planting base grows more than 200 high-quality varieties such as Red Heart Cherry Blossom, Wubao, Hot Samba, Snow Purple, Lemon Yellow, Dark Spot Sunset Red, Pink Beauty, Pink Panther, Baolao Orange, Angus, etc. It can be said that the viewing is particularly strong. Compared to visiting Rose Island, we are visiting in a greenhouse and don't worry about tanning ~

At present, four greenhouses of bougainvillea have been displayed here, with a total construction area of 5760 square meters. Other greenhouses are still under construction. In addition to taking photos and checking in here, you can also learn about the planting and cultivation process of bougainvillea and get to know different varieties of bougainvillea. Don't think that bougainvillea only has purplish red color. In fact, there are unbelievable colors!

If you like to be close to mountains and rivers, you may wish to drive to Xuantian Lake. The 3.5-kilometer water surface of Xuantian Lake is like a giant dragon winding at the foot of Bayue Mountain. The water surface is vast and beautiful, with continuous harbors and dotted with small islands, echoing the majestic momentum of Bashan Mountain., especially beautiful.

Xuantian Lake is also the urban water supply source of Tongliang. The water quality here is excellent, and you can see fish playing in the water wherever you look. There are many black swans leisurely looking for food in the center of the lake, and the crisp sound of birds in the forest echoed in my ears. The wind blows through the lake, making it comfortable and cool, like a return to nature, relaxed and harmonious artistic conception. This is a particularly suitable place to calm down and nourish your heart.

If you have enough time and want to go on an in-depth tour, stay at Xijiao Yashe B & B next to Rose Island. This is a boutique B & B with the concept of "slow life" in the suburbs transformed from the original management office space. You can watch the forest, listen to the rain, or walk along the embankment and flower dock to experience the unique taste of life here.

One thing I like very much about this B & B is that the room has a separate courtyard that brings indoor rest to the outdoors. When I push the window in the morning, the sun and the fragrance of flowers rush in, and I feel full of vitality in an instant. The four rooms on the second floor are even better. They are also equipped with an outdoor soaking pool, wooden chairs, and a tea bar. When the temperature is right, you can spend a day in the small courtyard to taste tea and read books for a unique enjoyment.

I especially like the patio design of the atrium of the B & B. The atrium creates a mirror water landscape with water as the main body and corridors and bridges echoing each other. Three arc-shaped green spaces are embedded in the middle of the pool, and three trees serve as the backbone of the landscape. Dense planting green cloud grass is like a carpet, meticulous and refreshing. There are six room entrances around the corridor, and each room is equipped with full-surface floor-to-ceiling glass to make the entire atrium landscape clear.

Find a suitable day to go to Youyou Valley in the western suburbs, stroll in the flower fields, and stay at night in an elegant house. Spend two days in the warm sunshine and live with flowers! This time, the Huayu Valley in the western suburbs of Tongliang can be regarded as another good place to visit around Chongqing. I wonder if you know this place? Next, Chen sir will continue to recommend fun places for everyone.
