Chongqing people's summer-it is the full enjoyment of summer hot pot, the passionate boxing of barbecue stalls, the cool water drops of iced watermelons, and the topic of "summer vacation" that will never escape.

On the first weekend of August, I drove to the Wuling Mountain Rift Valley in Fuling, felt the coolness of 22 ° C in the canyon, and saved me from spending the summer in Chongqing with the sunshine between the slits and the aurora music as night fell.

So if your itinerary is just the Wuling Mountain Rift Valley, there is really no need to get up early and rush. One afternoon is enough to visit the entire Wuling Mountain Rift Valley, so you can wake up in the morning and set out. After lunch near the Wuling Mountain Rift Valley, enter the scenic area to visit the entire afternoon. Come out for dinner in the evening. You can experience the high-level scene of the Aurora Music Festival in the square at the entrance of the Wuling Mountain Rift Valley Ticket Sales Center and then go home.

The Wuling Mountain Grand Canyon is 1300 meters above sea level, so the first feeling when you come here is: coolness.

To enter the scenic spot, you must first walk about 2 kilometers of mountain roads, from top to bottom, and feel the green eyes brought by the forest coverage rate of 95%. Its forests are a combination of sub-primitive coniferous forests and broad-leaved forests, with more than 2000 plant species, among which rare tree species such as Taxus mairei and Metasequoia are distributed everywhere.

Along the way, you will encounter monkeys in the mountains:

Walking to the observation deck where Yunwu Pavilion is located, you can view the entire cliff valley and the mountains.

The scenic spot is really big, covering an area of 30 square kilometers, and the content of negative oxygen ions in the scenic spot is as high as more than 3000 per cubic centimeter. Finally, you can take off your mask and experience the "natural oxygen bar". Moreover, this 2-kilometer mountain road gathers many unique limestone shapes formed due to crustal movement 250 million years ago, such as Jiguanling, to truly experience the magical phenomena from the earth.

This bridge is called the "Tianmen Cave Cable Bridge". The cable bridge passes through a cliff from the "Tianmen Cave". People entering the cable bridge from the "Tianmen Cave" is like "passing through the wall". These cracks on the cliff are caused by violent crustal movement., are the masterpieces of nature.

The most amazing thing here is that there is a moon-shaped doorway born in the middle and lower part of the cliff.

After passing through Tianmen Cave, you have to go downhill and follow the stone steps all the way to the bottom of the Great Rift Valley.

The small snack dining village at the foot of the mountain is backed by green green mountains, terraced fields, and lush bamboo bamboos. I really wish I could live in such a "paradise".

When we arrived at the bottom of the valley, we took a battery sightseeing bus for about 15 minutes, which will take us to the core area of the scenic area.

The "Qingtian Gorge Ground Crack" is the most essential part of the Wuling Mountain Rift Valley. The scenic area is amazing for its oldest "scar" on earth-the cliff crack caused by violent crustal movement. It is known as "China's First Dynamic Canyon".

The total length of the ground seam is 1.5 kilometers, and the beam time period of 12 months is different all year round. This is the narrowest and longest seam in the world-the Qingtian Gorge seam.

The sky is dark, the valley orchids are fragrant, and the stalactite is in a myriad of shapes.

The drop between the valley bottom and the peak reaches more than 700 meters. Only by entering the ground seam area can you deeply feel the smallness of a person in it.

Complete the entire walk in the core joint area and pass through a time tunnel:

What I am most looking forward to is taking the "Wuling Taidou" cableway, which can be called "the steepest in Asia". This is the highest reciprocating cableway in the world. The standard climbing angle is 45 degrees. At present, the slope of the ropeway has reached 42.6 degrees, the vertical drop is about 300 meters, and the slope length is 634 meters. It feels like a vertical "Yangtze River cableway".

Riding to the highest peak and looking down really has a feeling of "panic". It's so high, but it's still vertical. It's quite cool. After taking the cableway, we ended our scenic spot trip.

Eat in the Wuling Mountain Rift Valley

For this one-day trip, we chose to eat at the Zhiren Inn at the gate of the Wuling Mountain Rift Valley. Of course, because it is an "inn", if you want to spend two more days in Fuling, you can also choose to stay here for one night.

The inn is very big, and because it is at the entrance of the Great Rift Valley, it is very cool. The simple Chinese pastoral style enjoys the tranquility away from the city.

Built in accordance with the standards of a four-star hotel, there are a total of seven room types and 161 rooms. It integrates courtyard-style rooms, health catering, sales of special cultural tourism products, special cultural activities, conferences, leisure and other functions.

Here you can eat authentic farmhouse dishes with sufficient portions and delicious taste.

Address: Gate of Wuling Mountain Rift Valley Scenic Area, Fuling District, Chongqing

Price: 200-400 yuan/room

I actually saw the "aurora" in the Wuling Mountain Rift Valley...

I think the best place to visit surrounding scenic spots during the summer vacation is that it is easy to encounter surprises. This time, I came to the Wuling Mountain Rift Valley and met the Rift Valley to hold the first Aurora Music Festival. I told you that there are so many people in the Tourist Center Square of the Wuling Mountain Rift Valley Scenic Area... So there is a music festival at night!

"Summer Wind","Ordinary Road","Youth","Aurora","Mojito"... These popular songs turn the atmosphere of the scene to its highest...

The most shocking thing was that a fantasy aurora night shadow visual feast was performed on the spot, using high-tech means to lay out aurora of different colors above people.

Moreover, the entire music festival will last throughout August. There will be two more festivals at Yunwu Pavilion on August 15 and 22, 2020.

After watching "Aurora", we also ended our 1-day tour of the Wuling Mountain Rift Valley and headed home to experience a cool summer day.
