2026 Linshui Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in July)

The river inside the cave descends from the sky, you’ll need a jacket in summer Ladies, listen up! If your idea of summer is still just air-conditioned rooms and cold watermelon, you’re really missing out! This time I discovered a hidden treasure deep in Huaying Mountain, known by tourists as the “River in the Cave” — Huaying Mountain Tianyi Valley. Here, waterfalls cluster, caves are deep, and the forest coverage exceeds 95%. The average summer temperature is only about 22°C. The best part — just a 1.5-hour drive from Chongqing, tickets cost only a few dozen yuan, you can finish the trip in 3 hours without tiring your legs, and have a “cool lung-refreshing” weekend getaway! 💦 1. Why is Tianyi Valley called the “River in the Cave”? Asia’s No.1 “River in the Cave,” instantly 10°C cooler upon entering The highlight of Tianyi Valley is the “River in the Cave” hidden inside the Three Heavenly Spirits Cave. A hundred-meter-high waterfall thunders down from the cave ceiling, the sound of water like thunder. Standing beneath the waterfall, the mist hits your face, instantly wrapping you in coolness. Geological experts have confirmed that this cave was once an ancient river channel of the Jialing River, shaped by billions of years of water erosion into this geological wonder. Inside the cave stands a 52-meter-tall natural stalactite resembling a giant Buddha chanting sutras, locally called the “Heavenly Buddha.” Many visitors join hands in prayer here. The “Three Wonders” scenery: waterfalls, caves, and springs all in one place Tianyi Valley combines the “Three Wonders”: dozens of waterfalls falling from the sky, dozens of mysterious deep caves, and dozens of springs bursting through the rocks. From the entrance to the end, streams connect waterfalls, and waterfall groups form streams. Almost every few steps you’ll see a cascade of white water pouring down. Waterfall welcome: drenched in refreshing coolness right at the entrance Right at the entrance, you’re greeted by the “Waterfall Welcome” — a waterfall dozens of meters high pouring down, splashing water everywhere. Even from over ten meters away, you can feel the coolness on your face. Visitors with kids excitedly shout, “Mom, it’s raining!” This natural “opening ceremony” immediately takes away the summer heat. Old Dragon Pool + Earth Fissure Gorge: hiding inside the earth’s “crack” The Old Dragon Pool waterfall hangs all year round, the pool beneath the water curtain is unfathomably deep, and the pool walls have dark caves where the water echoes. Some joke that it’s the “Dragon King snoring.” Further inside is the Earth Fissure Gorge, where the canyon suddenly narrows, with cliffs on both sides like they were carved by knives and axes. Looking up, you can only see a sliver of sky, as if walking inside a crack in the earth. 2. How to play? Lazy route to copy directly! Transportation Guide (self-driving fans rejoice) 🚗 Self-drive (highly recommended!): Navigate to “Huaying Mountain Tianyi Valley Scenic Area.” About 1.5 hours from Chongqing, about 3 hours from Chengdu. All highway, good road conditions, last section is winding mountain road, beginners drive slowly. 🚄 High-speed rail version: Chengdu East → Guang’an South Station (about 1.5 hours), then transfer to the scenic area shuttle bus for about 40 minutes. 🎟️ Ticket reference: Adults about 80-85 RMB, seniors/children half price. Open 7:30-17:30 (last entry at 17:30). ⏰ Best time to visit: · Summer June-September: perfect for cooling off, waterfalls are full · 8-10 AM: soft light, fewest visitors · After rain clears: waterfalls most majestic, air fresh and clean One-day highlight route (3-4 hours, follow this to avoid getting lost) Morning: Waterfall Welcome → Old Dragon Pool → Earth Fissure Gorge Arrive before 9 AM to enjoy the best light. Get drenched by the “Waterfall Welcome” at the entrance, then follow the stream upstream, passing the Old Dragon Pool waterfall — the water sound echoes in the canyon, really feels like the “Dragon King snoring.” Walking through the Earth Fissure Gorge, cliffs on both sides squeeze you in, making you feel tiny, with only a sliver of sky above. Noon: River in the Cave (the core highlight) The big moment! Deep inside the scenic area, enter the Three Heavenly Spirits Cave, where a hundred-meter waterfall thunders down from the cave ceiling. Standing under the waterfall looking up, the mist hits your face, the coolness penetrates your heart. Next to it is the 52-meter-tall natural stalactite shaped like a giant Buddha; many close their eyes to pray here. The cave is dimly lit, so wear non-slip shoes and walk carefully. Afternoon: Return the same way / scenic trail back After seeing the River in the Cave, return the same way (about 30 minutes to 1 hour), enjoy the waterfall and stream from another angle, the scenery is still healing. Near the exit are snack stalls to recharge. Photo spots to lock in your album: · In front of Waterfall Welcome: shoot looking up from under the waterfall, splashing water creates a full atmosphere · Earth Fissure Gorge sliver of sky: shoot looking up at the cliff crack, person standing in the middle looks tiny · Under the River in the Cave waterfall: side silhouette, mist acts as natural soft light filter 3. Must-bring list + outfit tips 🎒 Must-bring items · 👟 Non-slip creek shoes/sneakers are a must! Trails in the canyon are slippery, wearing slippers will make you doubt life · 🧥 Light jacket: it’s cooler inside the cave, bring one even in summer · 👕 At least one change of clothes: you’ll get wet playing with water, don’t ask why · ☀️ Sunscreen + hat: some sections have direct sunlight · 🦟 Mosquito repellent: mountain mosquitoes are fierce · 🍱 Bring your own snacks and water: limited supplies inside the scenic area Outfit formula · 👗 Light-colored quick-dry clothes: super photogenic among green mountains and clear water · 🚫 Absolutely no skirts: there are iron ladders inside the River in the Cave, easy to flash · 👒 Hat + sun sleeves: essential for sun protection outdoors 4. Accommodation recommendations + nearby extras 🏡 Shangshan Shang · Mountain Wild Time Retreat (Huaying Mountain private hot spring guesthouse, highly recommended!) A newly opened wild luxury guesthouse at the foot of Huaying Mountain, designed with Chinese natural healing aesthetics, with private hot spring pools and terraces surrounded by endless forest. Soaking in the hot spring while watching mountain views is so healing! The guesthouse has a café, wild mountain restaurant, and a book room. Vegetables and fruits are freshly picked year-round, and in winter they have smoked local cured meats. About a half-hour drive from Tianyi Valley, perfect for sisters wanting to stay overnight for a deep experience. 🏡 Huaying Mountain Grand Hotel (near the scenic area, worry-free choice) Not far from Tianyi Valley, fully equipped with breakfast included, suitable for families with elders and children. Price reference about 300-500 RMB/night. 🌿 Nearby extras (don’t miss if you’re here) · Huaying Mountain Scenic Area: only 18 km from Tianyi Valley, see karst stone forests, the Red relics of the Double Gun Old Lady, and watch pandas “Linxi” and “Family” · Heilong Gorge: summer water rafting, bring water guns for water fights, cool and fun · Hobbit Small Loop Trail: nearby hiking route, great for sisters who love wild fun · Baoding Mountain sunrise / Route 21 sunset: hidden activities around Huaying Mountain Final words Tianyi Valley is not some “internet celebrity check-in spot,” it’s a cool secret where waterfalls have rushed through the canyon for billions of years, a “natural air-conditioned room” hidden deep in Huaying Mountain, a breathtaking river descending from the cave ceiling. Here, you can be wrapped in mist under the Waterfall Welcome, empty your mind in the roar of the River in the Cave, and feel your smallness in the Earth Fissure Gorge’s sliver of sky. Tickets cost only a few dozen yuan, 1.5 hours direct from Chongqing, 3 hours to finish without tiring your legs — this kind of “slowing down” luxury can’t be bought in the city. Before summer officially arrives, while the River in the Cave is still cool, sisters, just go for it! 💦🏔️

Here are the three must-see spots in Wuhua Mountain, Sichuan, with a practical guide you’ll want to save✅ Tired of crowded popular spots during holidays and looking for a quiet, off-the-beaten-path destination to enjoy mountain scenery? A friend recommended Wuhua Mountain in Linshui, Guang’an, Sichuan. After visiting, I found it’s truly a hidden gem at the Sichuan-Chongqing border. It’s not overly commercialized, just fresh forest air and endless mountain views—perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway🌿 [Attraction address] Wuhua Mountain Tourist Area is located in Fenghe Town, Linshui County, Guang’an City, Sichuan Province. It sits right on the border between Linshui, Sichuan, and Changshou, Chongqing, about 110 km from downtown Chongqing. Compared to famous mountains that require long travel and are crowded, here you can enjoy equally stunning mountain scenery without the crowds. It’s definitely an underrated hidden gem✨ 🚗[Getting there] 🚌 Public transport options include a direct shuttle from Linshui Passenger Transport Center to Wuhua Mountain Tourist Area. The schedule is fixed, ideal for those without a car. 🚗 If driving, from Guang’an take the G42 Huyu Expressway to Fenghe Town, then head up the mountain. From Chongqing, take the G50 Yurun Expressway to Yuntai Town in Changshou District, then up the mountain. Both routes are the best options with generally good road conditions. There is an official parking lot at the entrance, making parking convenient. 🍜[Food recommendations] After hiking down, you’ll likely be hungry. The farmhouses at the foot of the mountain offer many local specialties. I highly recommend Linshui’s spicy chicken and cured pork knuckle stewed with radish. The spicy chicken is flavorful and dry, while the cured pork knuckle is homemade by local farmers. The radish soaks up the meat’s aroma, and a big pot warms you up completely. After a satisfying meal, it’s just right to head back. Now, let me share the three core spots in Wuhua Mountain you must visit. 👍[Must-see spots] Summit viewing platform Wuhua Mountain consists of five connected peaks. From the summit viewing platform, you can overlook the entire forested mountain area. On clear days, you can see the distant layered peaks. Early mornings might bring a sea of clouds. When I visited, it was sunny, and the breeze through the forest was especially refreshing. You could sit on a rock all afternoon and never get bored. I recommend going in the morning or evening when the light is soft and perfect for photos. Mountain trail The entire mountain trail follows the mountain’s contour, surrounded by dense forest. The air is full of negative ions. The hike is moderate, so even beginners can easily complete it. Along the trail, you’ll pass the ancient well culture wall, where you can learn about local well culture. When tired, you can rest in the shade anywhere. Take your time walking and exploring—it’s a fully immersive forest therapy experience. Colorful slide If you’re with kids or looking for some excitement, you must try the colorful slide. Slide down from the summit along the colorful track. The wind rushing past is very relieving. You don’t have to climb back up yourself but can still enjoy a different kind of mountain fun. It’s perfect for relaxing after hiking.🌼 🎫[Ticket info] Adult tickets are regularly priced at 60 yuan. Discounted tickets are available for children, seniors, students, people with disabilities, and military personnel at lower prices. Some time periods offer combo ticket discounts. Tickets must be exchanged in advance for entry. Present the supplier order number and electronic voucher to collect tickets. Overall, the value is very good. Please refer to on-site info for details💸🎫 💡[Tips] Accommodation: If you want to take your time, consider staying at a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain or nearby hotels. Prices are reasonable, and you can enjoy more local food. Staying overnight in summer lets you see the starry sky from the summit—a great experience. Food: Avoid looking for food on the mountain since commercial facilities are limited. It’s better to go down to the restaurants at the foot of the mountain, where there are more options and better prices. Photo spots: Besides the summit viewing platform, the ancient trees around the ancient well culture wall are great for photos. For outfits, light colors or sporty styles work best with the forest background. Avoid pitfalls: After 2 PM on weekends, crowds increase noticeably, so try to start early to avoid peak times. After rain, stone steps can be slippery, so wear non-slip sports shoes. There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, so bring insect repellent. The summit can be chilly, so bring a light jacket.🧡 [Closing call] For those wanting to escape city noise and slow down to enjoy mountain scenery, Wuhua Mountain is the perfect choice. You can enjoy high-quality natural views without crowds. It’s close to major cities in Sichuan and Chongqing, making it ideal for a weekend trip. Wuhua Mountain is waiting for you to explore and experience!🏞️🌸

Escape the summer city heat, creek trek and waterfall watch in Tianyi Valley, pack a whole day of coolness 3. A hidden gem in Huaying Mountain with waterfalls, streams, and caves, perfect for a one-day summer escape 💡 Key tips for a one-day trip 1. Parking is tight on weekends and holidays, so arrive early.

Prioritize the canyon and river in the cave core areas. 3. The cave is dimly lit; use flash for better photos. Watch children carefully and keep them away from deep pools. 4.

True freedom means having the courage to hit mute on life, breaking the chains of worldly clamor, escaping the suffocation of the crowds, and venturing alone into nature's embrace to whisper wildly and coexist freely with the universe. All too often, we find ourselves trapped in the deafening chaos of daily life—listening to the judgments of others, following the herd, and living at a mundane pace until our untamed, carefree spirit slowly slips away. But when we actively shut out life's distractions, hit pause on pointless socializing and endless hustling, and step into the vast, open wild, we finally shake off every shackle. Out here, the wind blows without restraint, the clouds drift freely, and the mountains and rivers stretch out endlessly. Everything thrives organically and follows its own heart—unbound and undefined. Take a slow trek through the mountains, whisper your secrets to nature, and shed all your worries and facades. Leave behind the stress and anxiety to fully soak in the unbridled freedom of the earth and sky. Learn to be as carefree and transparent as the wind, clouds, and rivers—untethered by the mundane world, unburdened by the past, living authentically, and walking with absolute peace of mind.

A clear, emerald-green pool, mountain streams gently flowing, the atmosphere instantly soothes all your irritations. Layer upon layer of cool waterfalls, just perfect to wash away a week's worth of fatigue from work. 🌿 Highlight! This is not Libo in Guizhou, it’s right around Chongqing!

🏔️ Huaying Mountain: A Majestic Mountain Hidden Gem, A Poetic Landscape of Red Rocks "The most majestic mountain under heaven"—this is how Mr. Guo Moruo praised this mountain stretching across eastern Sichuan. It is not only a classic national red tourism scenic area, but also a magnificent landscape scroll that seamlessly blends majestic scenery with the spirit of revolutionary heroism. 🌿 Morning Exploration of the Stone Forest Huaying Mountain is awakened by the morning mist. Here lies China's highest mountain-type stone forest. Within its 20-square-kilometer core scenic area, the "Ten Thousand Lions Paying Homage" stands majestically, the "Millennial Kiss" freezes time, and the "Couple Stones" guard an eternal vow—these creations, formed over 240 million years of geological evolution, are transformed by the red rock lichen, resembling a slowly unfolding ink painting. The most captivating feature of Huaying Mountain Stone Forest lies in its unique "forest within a forest" spectacle: trees take root in the rocks, and rocks stand tall amidst the forest, coexisting and thriving together, resembling a giant natural bonsai garden, truly deserving of the title "Kingdom of Stone Forest Bonsai in China." 🍃 Ecological Sanctuary · With a vegetation coverage rate exceeding 95% and an average annual temperature of 17-22℃, it is a veritable "natural oxygen bar" and one of Sichuan's top ten distinctive summer resorts. · Besides the stone forest, it also hides Tianchi Lake, Sichuan's largest natural tectonic lake; the winding 21-bend mountain road; and Baoding, a Buddhist meditation holy site renowned for its connection to Mount Emei in the west and Baoding in the east. 🔥 Afternoon · Red Monument In the afternoon mountains and forests, a memory forged with blood and sweat is hidden. This is the birthplace of the story of *Red Crag*, the battlefield where the "Double-Gun Granny" galloped on horseback. The former campsite and command post of the Huayingshan Guerrilla Force stand silently, while the Uprising Memorial Hall displays that magnificent era. As a classic national red tourism scenic spot, it uses a digital experience hall, wax museum, and immersive performances to bring red memories to life in light and shadow. Strolling along the guerrilla trails, touching the profound "Red Crag Spirit" in the Huayingshan Uprising Memorial Hall, one can almost hear the echoes of history reverberating through the valley. 🐼 Afternoon - Healing Panda Time Following the fragrance of the bamboo forest, head to the Huayingshan Giant Panda Garden. Watch the round and chubby "Linxi" and "One Family" adorably nibble among the green bamboo; their laziness and ease are enough to heal all fatigue. The tranquil environment is a must-visit spot for families and photography enthusiasts. 💧 Evening at Tianyi Valley: Water Activities If you still have energy, consider driving to Tianyi Valley in Huaying Mountain, Linshui County. Here you'll find the spectacular "Heavenly River in a Cave," a waterfall known as the "Cave River," and winding canyoning trails.

Hidden on the eastern foothills of Huaying Mountain, Tianyi Valley is a secret green wilderness near Chongqing, making it an excellent summer escape from the city's heat. This area boasts unique karst landforms, with a magnificent underground river stretching for kilometers, over a hundred waterfalls scattered gracefully, more than sixty diverse caves, and babbling streams flowing through the canyon. The lush greenery fills the eyes, and the year-round constant temperature creates a natural air conditioner. The moment you step into the valley, all your worries are swept away by the fresh mountain breeze and mist. Here is a detailed, easy-to-follow travel guide to help you enjoy Tianyi Valley effortlessly. For transportation, driving is the most convenient option, taking about 1.5 hours from downtown Chongqing, with a dedicated parking lot at the scenic area. For public transport, you can take a high-speed train or bus to Linshui, then transfer to a local shuttle bus directly to the scenic spot. Buying tickets online in advance offers better value, with adult tickets around 75 RMB and half-price discounts for students. The park is open from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with last entry at 4:30 PM. It’s recommended to reserve 3-5 hours for your visit. The hiking difficulty is moderate, suitable for all ages. For attire, light colors like white or bright yellow are ideal, creating a striking contrast with the green mountains and waters, perfect for photos. Be sure to bring non-slip shoes, as the stone paths in the canyon can be slippery, and they also make water activities easier. Here are some top photo spots for stunning travel shots that capture a fairy-tale atmosphere. Take silhouette or side shots behind the waterfall curtain, using the flowing water as a natural foreground to maximize the mood; capture panoramic views from the waterfall viewing platform, where you might catch a rainbow in the sunlight; shoot low-angle photos by the emerald pools to highlight the crystal-clear, glass-like water. Strolling along the canyon, you’ll be accompanied by cascading waterfalls and flowing springs, with uniquely shaped stalactites and shifting light and shadows in the caves. Every step reveals a picturesque landscape, as if you’ve entered a real-life version of the Emerald City, with every frame worth capturing and cherishing. After a day of healing in the mountains, choosing a comfortable and convenient place to rest is essential. We sincerely recommend the Chongqing Kuanrong Daping Times Street All-Suite Hotel. Located in the heart of Daping Longhu Times Street in Yuzhong District, the hotel is right downstairs from a bustling commercial area with a wide variety of dining, shopping, and entertainment options all in one place. The all-suite rooms are well-designed with clear separation between living and sleeping areas, spacious and bright, equipped with smart control systems, Serta comfortable mattresses, high-end bathrooms, and exquisite toiletries, ensuring a top-notch stay experience. Thoughtful butler service is meticulous, the public areas are elegant and clean, and transportation is highly accessible with nearby light rail stations, making further travel very convenient.

The hugely popular "canyoning" project this year lets you truly "fly" between waterfalls and canyons. · Leap down a 10-meter waterfall and feel 3 seconds of weightlessness thrill · Float in crystal-clear pools, as if you were in Jiuzhaigou · Natural canyon slides that send your adrenaline soaring After 2 PM, the canyoning lines get very long, so it’s best to head straight to this activity early in the morning! Showers and lockers are fully available, and you can experience the popular activity for just 168 yuan. 🌈 Must-see wonder: Asia’s largest cave waterfall Enter a hundred-meter-deep cave where a giant waterfall pours down from above, roaring like an army.

My social feed exploded: "Where is this? So beautiful!" 🚗 A spontaneous summer escape Sleep in, leave Chongqing at 9 AM, and be splashing in the water by 10:30! Self-drive navigation to "Huaying Mountain Tianyi Valley," with convenient parking. Tickets bought online one day in advance are only 75 yuan, cheaper than on-site! Be sure to buy the ticket + canyoning combo, 318 yuan for two people is a great deal. 📍 Thoughtful tips Three must-bring items: · ❗Non-slip water shoes (stone steps are very slippery, and the ones sold at the site are expensive and poor quality) · ❗Waterproof phone pouch (to capture every wonderful moment) · ❗Change of clothes (stay dry and comfortable after playing in the water) Outfit tips: Shorts + quick-dry shirt are most practical, providing sun protection and ease for water activities. No umbrellas — the valley is narrow and requires using hands and feet! No worries about snacks: Along the way, you can replenish energy with cold noodles, cured meat, and popsicles. Try the local specialty liangfen (cold jelly noodles), 10 yuan a bowl, refreshingly cooling. 💎 My honest feelings This is the best summer escape I’ve been to this year!

While everyone is busy visiting big cities, small cities are often overlooked. Today, we will share a travel guide to Guang'an, a small city in eastern Sichuan. Remember to save these hidden gems for future reference! Shimenzi Village: A Hidden Paradise in the Mountains Shimenzi Village is hidden deep in the Huaying Mountains. The environment here is comfortable and pleasant. The green lawns, leisurely cattle and sheep, dense pine forests, and gurgling streams make the village seem like a forgotten ancient village full of poetry when the mountains are in full bloom. The outdoor hiking trails here are also well-developed, making it a great place to bring children to get close to nature. Tianyi Valley: A Natural Wonder of Karst Landforms Tianyi Valley is also located in the Huaying Mountains and is a typical karst landform valley. The green pools are connected to waterfalls, and caves are hidden in the mountains and forests. The scenery is breathtaking and makes you reluctant to leave. Especially after the rain, the valley is shrouded in mist, adding a touch of tranquility and serenity, as if you have entered a fairyland. Laolong Cave: A Mysterious Ancient Cave in the Mountains Laolong Cave is located in Linshui County, Sichuan Province, and is hidden in the mountains. The mountain gate of the ancient temple is covered with moss due to the lack of visitors, giving it a mysterious charm similar to Angkor Wat. The cave is bottomless, and various mysterious legends add to its allure, making you want to explore it. Lohas City: Magnificent Scenery by the Qu River Lohas City is located by the Qu River, and the Huanglong Gorge Waterfall here is said to be the widest waterfall in Asia! During the flood season in July and August, the magnificent scene is no less impressive than the Hukou Waterfall. The nearby ancient Wanchun Bridge has withstood a century of wind and rain and remains as strong as ever, witnessing the passage of time. Daliang City: Ancient City Ruins with Historical Significance Daliang City stands on the hills of the Qu River Basin and is a square mountain shaped like a castle. In ancient times, it was a strategic location during the Song and Yuan dynasties and is now considered a classic example of Sichuan's square mountain castle defense system. The ancient city gate is still well-preserved, and standing in front of it, you can almost hear the echoes of history. Huaying Mountain Forest Park: A Natural Paradise for All Seasons Huaying Mountain Forest Park is located in Huaying City, Sichuan Province. The stone forest, caves, sea of clouds, and pine forests create a unique landscape. If it snows before or after the Spring Festival, Huaying Mountain becomes a great place to play in the snow. It is not only a great place to enjoy the snow in winter but also a cool place to escape the heat in summer. The highest point of Huaying Mountain, Baoding Guangming Temple, is an excellent spot for a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery. Travel Tips The valleys and mountain forests are humid, so remember to keep warm and be careful of slipping when walking. Plan your travel route in advance and arrange your time reasonably. These places are generally accessible by public transportation, making travel convenient. Prepare some supplies in advance, but remember that open flames are strictly prohibited in the mountains and forests, so be sure to follow the rules. Let's practice the concept of "Leave No Trace" and protect these beautiful natural landscapes.

When Chongqing city is tightly wrapped by the autumn tiger, the 40℃ high temperature makes people unbearably hot. At this time, a cool place in the distance seems to be calling, that is Tianyi Valley in Huaying Mountain, Guang'an, Sichuan. Driving 90 kilometers from the main city of Chongqing, in less than two hours, it is like escaping from a steamer and breaking free from the shackles of the heat. Upon arriving at Tianyi Valley, the first thing that comes into view is a large parking lot that can accommodate hundreds of cars. For only 10 yuan parking fee, you can start this cool journey with peace of mind. Walking towards the ticket center of the scenic area, on-site tickets are 85 yuan per person, and online pre-purchase can save 5 yuan. Seniors aged 65 and above with ID cards and children under 1.2 meters in height can enter for free. After buying the tickets, on the few hundred meters journey from the ticket center to the ticket checkpoint, there are vendors selling various water play tools, sun protection equipment, snacks, iced watermelon, and drinking water, which can be chosen as needed. Entering the scenic area, after the ticket check, two waterfalls unfold like a picture scroll. The welcoming waterfall, tens of meters high and wide, rushes down, with thousands of water splashes and mist, attracting people to play in the water and take photos, becoming a popular check-in spot. Not far away, the Dusting Waterfall, formed by a huge mountain spring, flows continuously throughout the year, resembling a white duster. Continuing forward, the Old Dragon Pool Waterfall's water curtain hangs down all year round, forming a deep pool when the water meets the deep stream, unfathomable. There is a cave on the pool wall, sometimes making sounds like a dragon's low chant. The Thousand-Foot Waterfall flows straight down from the thousand-foot cliff, falling into the deep pool in the canyon, bringing a thrilling yet refreshing feeling with its high drop. The Ground Fissure Canyon, as the most intact fault fissure preserved in Tianyi Valley, is jagged and strange, with torrents cascading layer by layer in the mountain stream, stretching for hundreds of meters, forming countless flying waterfalls and green pools, a geological wonder. At the end of the scenic area, in the Tianxin Cave, the cave river is even more astonishing. At the entrance of the cave, a natural Buddha statue - a rare stone stalagmite in the world, naturally formed by water droplets calcifying over billions of years. Inside the cave, the dark river surges, and at the end of the cave, a waterfall accompanied by strong light falls from the sky, straight to the bottom of the pool, like thousands of horses galloping, majestic and magnificent, worthy of being the first cave river in Asia. In addition, stream descending is the only recreational activity in the scenic area. At the downstream end, put on the equipment, walk 15 minutes to the upstream starting point, play in the water along the stream, and walk down, with three platforms for diving along the way, the whole experience takes 2-3 hours. Huaying Mountain Tianyi Valley, with its clear mountains and waters, has more than 100 waterfalls and dozens of caves, with countless places to get into the water along the way. When you come here to play, don't forget to bring a pair of sandals or wading shoes, let the children catch shrimps and play with water guns in the stream, and fully enjoy this cool and pleasant time.

In the mountains of Linshui, Sichuan, there is a Chinese temple similar to Angkor Wat. People nearby call it Laolong Cave. Judging from the architectural style, it is at least 181 years old. There is an elephant carved on the right side of the gate, with a ruyi wrapped around its trunk. It means good luck and good fortune, and the carving is quite exquisite. According to the left-right symmetrical style of ancient China, there should be one on the left, but it has been destroyed. There is still a long way to go to protect cultural relics. Entering from the stone archway on the right is a natural karst cave. It is said that you can't reach the bottom even if you walk for several hours. Bats appear on the top of the cave all year round, and there is a dry Yinhe riverbed underground. If you are not a professional, it is not recommended to enter. It is worth mentioning that outside the cave is a clear stream flowing down the ravine from here, forming a group of waterfalls of different sizes along the way. If it is summer, it should be good to play water rafting here. If you are interested in this place, the navigation "Fan Family Ancestral Hall" is located in Linshui County, Guang'an, Sichuan, more than an hour's drive from the main city of Chongqing. Don't navigate directly to Laolong Cave. The place called Laolong Cave in Linshui is very dark.
