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!

The green pools and cascading waterfalls are nestled among the mountains of Tianyi Valley in Guang'an, Sichuan

🏞️ Tianyi Valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a 4000-meter-long karst fracture fissure at its center, which is part of the downstream valley of the Longxu River. At the bottom of the mountain gorge, there is a cave, where a huge cave formation resembles a dragon palace, and within it, a giant stalactite looks strikingly like a Buddha. The main attractions of the Tianyi Valley scenic area are the caves and the various waterfalls, especially the 'Celestial River' waterfall group formed by nearly a kilometer of cascading falls, which is a natural wonder. The Dusting Waterfall, located at the entrance of the scenic area, with its narrow top and wide bottom, resembles a pure white duster, as if to welcome and cleanse visitors. Crossing the stone stair bridge under the Dusting Waterfall to the opposite side of the river and walking less than a hundred meters forward, you will reach the Shimen Pass, a narrow crevice that only allows one person to pass through at a time, truly a strategic point that 'one man can hold against ten thousand'. 📷 Huaying Mountain's Tianyi Valley is a geological wonder formed by the confluence of the waters from thousands of peaks and ravines of Huaying Mountain with the karst fracture fissure. The secluded valleys, deep pools, and cave waterfalls are too numerous to take in at once, and the magnificent waterfalls and 'Celestial River' within the cave, especially during the abundant water period in summer, are unparalleled and also an excellent summer retreat. 📍 Tianyi Valley National Geological Park, Linshui County, Guang'an City, Sichuan Province 🚙 Accessible by self-driving or taking a bus from Linshui Transport Center 🅿️ Parking available at the entrance 🕐 Opening hours: 7:30-17:00 ✨tips: ❗️ The roads are wet, be careful of slipping 🏞 The canyon trail is about 7 kilometers round trip, and it is recommended to allow 3 to 4 hours for the visit 📷 There is a lot of water vapor in the canyon, be mindful of waterproofing 👒 It's advisable to bring some drinking water and snacks to replenish energy 🏕 Leave no trace in the wild, let's protect it together

The most beautiful town near the water: Yulin Town

Yulin Town is located at the southern end of Lingshui County, 53 kilometers away from Lingshui County, east to Wanshun Town and Honghu Town in Changshou District, Chongqing City, south to Dawan Town in Yubei District, Chongqing City and Gaotan Town in Lingshui County, west to Tantong Town, and north to Jiulong Town. Yulin River runs through Lingshui County from north to south, it is the last beach of Yulin River, hence the name Yaotan. It is said that Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty once lived here, and it was renamed Yulin during the Republic of China. The town is located in the hilly area, where Yulin River and Baishui River cross the town, and the river in the territory belongs to the Yangtze River Basin. Yulin Town is a famous 'fruit town' in Lingshui, with a citrus area of more than 9,000 mu. 'Huatang Navel Orange' and 'Yulin Navel Orange' have won national gold awards many times and are sold to the northeast region, enjoying a long-standing reputation. Yulin River Xiaoshan Gorge, located in Yulin Town, Lingshui County, is formed by Yulin River cutting through Tongluo Mountain. The gorge is 6 kilometers long, consisting of Yingzui Gorge, Xian'nv Gorge, Xiluo Gorge and the narrow valleys in between. The narrow valley is 20-50 meters wide, with a height difference of 100-200 meters from the cliffs on both sides. The karst development of Xian'nv Gorge is known to have more than 10 places such as Xian'nv Cave, Bailong Cave, Zhengjia Cave, Hejia Cave, etc. After the rainstorm, Bailong Cave sprays water to form a rare 'Bailong Crossing the River' spectacle; there are 3 hot springs in Xiaonanhai on the south bank, and there are more than 10 legends and cultural relics of Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty taking refuge in Yulin River in Lingshui; Xiaoshan Gorge is mainly based on gorges and water landscapes, integrating caves, hot springs, beaches, legendary relics and other natural and cultural landscapes, which is a good place for leisure tourism. There are many historical sites in Yulin Town. Du Jingxian (1347-1440), the 'Du Tianguan' of the Ming Dynasty, was a native of Yulin Town. He served as the inspector for more than 20 years. He was upright and fair, and was known as the 'loyal minister of the former emperor'. After resigning from office, he returned to his hometown Longmentan (now Songbai Beach in Yulin Town), opened a school, and the poor students came to study one after another. He built a granary to relieve the people, presided over the construction of Guanyin Temple, and preached not to let the people be deeply moved. The remains of the school and the granary are still there. In the fourth year of Ming Zhengtong (1440), Du Jingxian died of illness at home at the age of 94. Yulin Town has the former residence of Du Jingxian with a deep cultural heritage, the sweet and juicy Huatang Navel Orange, and the beautiful Yulin River Xiaosanxia. Traveling here, I believe it will make tourists linger.

Chongqings Tianyi Valley Scenic Spot is only 50 kilometers away from Chongqing Jiangbei Airport, making it an excellent place for health and leisure. The water of Juhua Mountain is plunged into the water, and the mountains are sloping down, the ground is interlaced, and the dark river is horizontal and vertical. The waterfall is earth-shattering, the deep pool is as silky as it is, and there are even more wonderful wonders in the middle of the river and the heavenly Buddha! PS
