#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. 🌏

#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).

That unique apartment building where a subway car passes right through. To film a first-person video from inside the car, you need to board the very first one, at least three stops from the exit. There are a lot of people standing below. But it's possible to get in line for a photo. The subway passes every 7-8 minutes.

This trip to Chongqing, mainly to see the red leaves of Wushan and experience the city fireworks, chose FunGee Joyful River View Hotel near Hongya Cave and Liberation Monument Pedestrian Street. As a hotel that really offers river views and convenient travel, it is best for lazy people who want to easily walk around the major attractions in Chongqing! Stayed one night and then set off to Wushan. It really has a good place to stay. The hotel's location and travel facilities are definitely its biggest selling points: the hotel is on the riverside, downstairs directly to Hong Ya Cave, it is not difficult to shoot the night view. Direct access to Kuixing Building is just an elevator, and the Liberation Monument Pedestrian Street is a quick walk.

I chose FunGee Joyful River View Hotel for this trip to Chongqing for a simple reason: the location is super convenient, close to Hongya Cave and Liberation Monument Pedestrian Street. The hotel service is courteous, and if you are breakfast-conscious, want to do laundry and do not want trouble, this is certainly for you! The hotel is located on the 21st floor of Building C of Goldman Sachs Creative Wealth Center on Binjiang Road. A few steps from the hotel to Hong Ya Cave, the 22nd floor leads directly to Kuixing Building. In addition to the Liberation Monument business district, there are many must-see attractions in Chongqing nearby - food streets, cultural and creative shops, pedestrian streets and everything. In terms of transportation, it is very convenient to go to the MTR station and bus station. Breakfast really has to be praised! Chongqing noodles are served every morning, freshly cooked and delivered, with rich dishes to choose from, and breakfast is served until 1pm, sleep until you wake up naturally without fear of hunger. The hotel also offers free laundry and drying services, so you don't have to worry about changing clothes for a long stay or a multi-day trip. There are plenty of smart amenities in the room: voice control, free drinks, a small fridge, and popcorn, ice cream and good night porridge for a comfortable and ceremonial stay. In terms of hygiene and service, the hotel staff has been very enthusiastic and attentive, any need they are quickly resolved. The environment is clean and quiet, especially suitable for families, couples or those who prefer a leisurely life. However, a small number of guests reflect average sound insulation, those who request can check with the hotel in advance. Itinerary tips: If you plan to go from Chongqing to Wushan to see the red leaves, you can arrange this, the following in English convenient for foreign friends or use English information to find the strategy: 重庆到巫山红叶路线攻略： The most recommended way is to take the bullet train (high-speed rail) from Chongqing North Railway Station to Wushan County. The journey takes around 3 to 4 hours. Once you arrive at Wushan, you can take a local taxi or tourist shuttle to reach the scenic spot of Red Leaf Valley (Hongye Gu). The best season is from late October to mid November when the leaves are at their reddest, so plan your trip accordingly高速直达巫山，约4.5小时，路线风景优美，但包含山路，小心开车，尤其旺季周末。 Booking Tip: FunGee Joyful River View Hotel is usually more popular during peak season, and it is recommended to book more than three weeks in advance, especially during the autumn leaf season. When choosing a hotel around the Liberation Monument business district, it is best to choose a room type close to the subway and with a view outside the window. Ask about the room specifications and soundproofing status before booking. There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening in Chongqing. When hiking or seeing red leaves, you should keep warm. Remember to bring a thin jacket. #Chongqing #Hongyadong Hotel Recommendation #Jialing River Night View #Itinerary Guide #Wushan Autumn Leaves #Free Travel Tips
