#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. If you want to shop, find dinner or eat authentic hot pot, they are all within easy reach. Easy to get around, only a few minutes walk to the nearby metro station.

Perfect for families, couples or a group of friends. Tip: Chongqing is a mountain city, rainy, must bring non-slip shoes and umbrella; autumn and winter to Wushan to see the red leaves, the best time is November to December, along the river overlooking the mountains Danxia landscape, red leaves and river water strong layered, especially cloudy rain and fog, more fairy spirit. If you want to take beautiful photos, you can walk to the heights of the riverside and use an overlook to cover the mountains and rivers, maple leaves and clouds, before you can capture the unique flavor of Wushan.

In Chongqing, in addition to taking pictures of Hongya Cave and spicy hot pot, this time I tried a different way - walking into the "Mountain City Lane Historical and Cultural Scenic Area" and "Mountain City Trail", deeply feel the teahouse style of old Chongqing. This line allows you to enjoy the authentic old teahouse, enjoy a bowl of fragrant covered bowl of tea, quietly sit in the corner of the market, away from the crowds of tourists, and feel the slow life and comfort of the old city. The biggest highlight of the trip was sipping tea in a teahouse, looking at the mountain city scenery outside the window, listening to the uncles next to me chatting, as if I was back in the streets of Chongqing in the 1980s and 1990s. Inventory of Chongqing Old Teahouse Slow Life Tour Route [Mountain City Lane Historical and Cultural Area] 📍Address: No. 234, Zhongxing Road, Yuzhong District, Chongqing (about 440 meters walk from Exit 5 of Jiaochangkou Metro Station) ⏰ Open all day year-round As soon as you walk into Shancheng Lane, you can see bluestone slab roads and mottled old houses, full of old Chongqing flavor. There are old teahouses everywhere in the alley, some of which have been converted from old shops, and some of which are original old houses. Enter an old teahouse - push the wooden door, the interior decoration is all "processed" by the years, wooden chairs, red tea tables, old signs, full of nostalgia. The tea here is mainly covered with a bowl of tea, one cup at a time, brewed by yourself, the tea is fragrant. Tip: It is recommended to go in the morning or afternoon, avoid the most crowded time at noon, it is easier to find a seat by the window, while sipping tea, while quietly watching the time slowly flowing in the mountain city alley. 【Mountain City Trail】 📍Address: Next to No. 234 Zhongxing Road, Yuzhong District, Chongqing ⏰ Open all day year-round After tea, stroll along the mountain city trail, which is built along the mountain and retains a large number of old city dwellings and market life. It is the best place to experience the taste of Chongqing's "mountain city". When the weather is nice, the sun shines in the shade of the trees, and there are exhibition halls and small restaurants along the trail. You can rest at any time when you are tired from walking. In some corners, you can also meet locals sunbathing, playing chess, and chatting by the roadside. There is no need to deliberately check in, you might as well spend more time feeling these small temperatures. [Practical Tips] - Don't be impatient when tasting tea at an old teahouse. Unlike modern cafes, teahouses emphasize slowly sipping and talking slowly. You can spend half a day sitting down and really immersing yourself in the old local atmosphere. - There are not many dining options around Mountain City Lane and Mountain City Trail, but there are authentic small noodle shops and old bakeries. - Both are open year-round, comfortable shoes are recommended, there are many stone roads, steps, comfortable walking is most important. - You can easily walk to Shancheng Lane from Exit 5 of Juchangkou Metro Station. 【Transportation Strategy】 From the city's main attractions (such as Liberation Monument), take Metro Line 1 to Juchangkou Station, which takes only a 5-minute walk to Mountain City Lane; [Food Recommendation] Old Chongqing snacks near Shancheng Lane are not to be missed, such as Chongqing noodles, chicken neck, and old yogurt. During this trip to Chongqing, I sat in an old teahouse and sipped tea. Looking at the scenery of the market alleys, I really felt the unique fireworks of Chongqing. When I return, I will miss the aroma of the bowl of tea and the leisurely pace of life in the teahouse. Find a day, stop at the old teahouse in Chongqing and feel the authentic human touch! #Chongqing Old Tea House #Mountain City Trail #Authentic Slow Life #Chongqing Travel #Chongqing Life

Come walk with me through the urban jungle of Chongqing 🏙️ This city carves its own identity with serious river views, mega-tall buildings, and surprise pockets of local flavor. If you love dramatic cityscapes, neon-lit nights, and quirky engineering feats, Chongqing will blow your mind! Top Spots to Visit - Must-See Places 🚶♂️ 1. Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street (Surrounding area of Jiefangbei, Yuzhong District, open all day) This lively commercial hub mixes local boutiques, epic street snacks, and huge shopping malls. Go early evening for the best energy and even better people-watching! My tip: Check out the nearby alleys for authentic noodle shops — pricey restaurants aren’t worth it. 2. Hongya Cave (No. 88, Binjiang Road, Jialing River, Yuzhong District, open all day) Iconic for its multi-level, stilted buildings right on the river. Come at sunset for unbeatable photos with twinkling lights. Warning: gets crowded fast! Head to the highest floor for panoramic city snaps, and don’t miss grilled skewers from street vendors 🎇 3. Liziba Station (Liziba Metro Station, Yuzhong District, 06:30-23:16 weekdays/06:37-23:17 weekends) The viral monorail-through-building spot! It’s easy to get here by Metro Line 2. Time your visit for a passing train to nail the perfect “head through the wall” pic. Getting Around: Metro is king. Super reliable, cheap, and saves you from the city’s traffic. Grab a metro card when you arrive and top up as you go! Food Recs: Try spicy hotpot at spots near Jiefangbei or late-night street food at Hongya Cave. Always ask for “微辣” (less spicy) if you’re not a heat fan! Chongqing Tips: Spring/fall weather is ideal, bring light layers. No visa-on-arrival — sort your Chinese visa in advance. Mobile payments are everywhere, but cash still works for most small eats. #ChongqingWalk #CityViews #HongyaCave #ChinaTravel #tripdotcom #hellohalloween
