#hellohalloween Hongyadong, or Hongya Cave, is a striking complex of 11-story stilted buildings in Chongqing, China, perched on a cliffside along the Jialing River. It is one of the city's most popular attractions, famous for its unique architecture, vibrant nightlife, and resemblance to the bathhouse from the animated film Spirited Away. The complex is built in the traditional Bayu architectural style, a type of stilted house common in the mountainous terrain of southwestern China.

#September Good Places 2025 To be honest, the first time I came to "Taoyuan Hot Pot" on Nanbin Road, I was really shocked - it didn't look like the real world at all, but rather like a scene from an animation! The mountaintop, riverside, hot hot pot, plus a breeze, the atmosphere is directly full, comfortable to not want to leave ~😌 The best part is the blues moment! At about 8 o'clock, the sky turned soft blue, whether the river view or restaurant environment, are beautiful to the absolute, casually shot like a movie screenshot📸 In terms of food, the hot pot tastes great, completely worthy of the name of "Chongqing cuisine", while eating while watching the river view, happiness! Transportation is very convenient: take a taxi to Ma On Shan, along the stairs, there are road signs all the way; take the MTR to Shang Hao Station Exit 2, cross the traffic lights to Ma On Shan 👏

#September2025 #Longshuixia Fissure Longshuixia Fissure, located in Wulong, Chongqing, resembles a gaping hole in the earth. Millions of years ago, the mountain-building movement left its most magnificent mark. 👣 A winding two-kilometer trail descends, with sheer cliffs on either side as sharp as a knife. Just a sliver of sky overhead, a gurgling stream at your feet. A waterfall cascades down the rock face, a breathtaking spectacle. 👍 Walking through the canyon, surrounded by towering cliffs and lush greenery, vines draping, and mist swirling, it feels like straying into a world far from the hustle and bustle of the earth's core. With every step, you can feel the force of the earth's crust and the traces of time. ⏰ The Longshuixia Fissure is not only a natural wonder of karst landforms, but also an adventure in dialogue with the Earth. Spectacular, awe-inspiring, and awe-inspiring. 🌏

#September Good Places 2025 It was my first time to eat at the century-old house of Lu Zu Temple. It was an eye-opener! The environment is beautiful and rhythmic, whether you eat yourself or have a banquet, it is very appropriate. It has been listed in my private treasure shop✨ Their dishes are all handmade, and the ingredients are so thoughtful! The spicy chicken is so fragrant that you can smell it a few meters away. It's crispy and delicious😋 The weather is cold now, hot pot is the best! With chestnuts, mushrooms and chicken, the soup is so fresh that I want to drink three bowls in a row, and I will feel warm after drinking it There is also the must-order mint beef jerky, the beef is chewy, the more chewy the more fragrant; the sauce stir-fried mountain wild mushrooms super rice, eat a Yunnan flavor, so good to stop! Friends who are near Liberation Monument should try this "Old World Sichuan Cuisine"! Next time I meet family or friends for dinner, I will definitely come again ~🙋 ♀️

#hellohalloween The site has over 2,300 years of history, originally serving as a fortress and pier. It later became home to Chongqing's working-class people before being redeveloped into the modern tourist attraction it is today. Multi-level structure: Due to its cliffside location, the complex has multiple entrances. You can enter from the top at Cangbai Road (the 11th floor) and exit from the bottom near the river (the 1st floor).

#SeptemberGoodPlaces2025 Ciqikou Ancient Town is one of Chongqing's famous historical and cultural attractions, boasting over a thousand years of history. Founded in the Song Dynasty, Ciqikou was originally named "Bai Yachang." During the Ming and Qing dynasties, due to the flourishing porcelain manufacturing industry, it earned the name "Ciqikou." Known as "Little Chongqing," it retains many architectural styles from the Ming and Qing dynasties, offering an important window into Chongqing's traditional culture. The ancient streets and alleyways still retain the cobblestone pavements, wooden dwellings, and stilt houses, all typical of Chongqing. There are also many traditional Chongqing teahouses. After a leisurely stroll, enjoy a cup of tea and slowly appreciate this important port, once a distribution center for goods from the lower reaches of the Jialing River during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It now boasts a vibrant cultural atmosphere.
