One-Day Tour Around Chongqing: The Fantastical Journey to Huaying Mountain Tianyi Valley

Last year, I encountered this picturesque place, and was instantly captivated upon first sight. The sun was shining brightly, a gentle breeze was blowing, and there were few visitors, making the whole experience feel like being in a hidden paradise. Since then, I have been longing to step into this secret realm again, to have an impromptu date with the tail end of summer. Driving to Huaying Mountain Tianyi Valley only takes a little over an hour from Yubei. The roads are clear and seem to be laid out especially for explorers. The ticket price is very affordable, at only 80 yuan, you can embark on a fantastical journey. The visitor center has a spacious parking lot, making the trip more convenient and carefree. The scenic area is dotted with waterfalls, each with its own character. Among them, the waterfall in the cave is particularly enchanting, with water curtains as fine as silk and as dreamy as fantasy, as if it's a magical gift from nature. A leisurely walk through it, taking only half a day, will allow you to appreciate the scenery of this fairyland. Although there are a few steep spots along the way, pavilions are set up at intervals for visitors to rest, allowing tired bodies to relax. Most of the route is shaded by green trees, so even in the heat of summer, there's no need to worry about the scorching sun. This place is not only a paradise for hiking enthusiasts but also an excellent destination for family outings. The shallow waters are crystal clear, and both adults and children can enjoy playing in the water, feeling the pleasant sensation of cool splashes on their skin. The water is so pure that it refreshes the mind and spirit. Why not bring some water toys and enjoy both hiking and playing in the water, letting the joyful moments blossom in this area. If you arrive in the morning, consider bringing some food to share with nature. Although dining options within the scenic area are limited, the commercial street outside the visitor center offers a dazzling array of food and accommodation, enriching your journey. This is Huaying Mountain Tianyi Valley, a place that makes you want to return again and again. Come and catch the tail end of summer, and have an impromptu date with this secret realm!
