Things to do in Dianjiang County

I have always wanted to go to Luoyang to see the peonies. I didn't expect that there is such a beautiful peony world in Chongqing. The peonies are numerous and beautiful, and they are worthy of being the national flower. The scenic area is very large. I suggest that you take a sightseeing bus to enter. If you don't take a sightseeing bus, you have to walk a long way. Hmmmm.

I have been staying at home for more than a month. I can finally go out and relax. The scenery is beautiful and the people are happy. This is a place worth visiting. Seeing these flowers makes me feel super happy. The tulips and cherry blossoms inside are super beautiful.

The Two Rivers Ferry is absolutely fantastic! The 15 yuan ticket is incredibly cost-effective! Here's a great route for families with kids: After visiting Jiefangbei and Kuixinglou, see Hongyadong during the day. If you're traveling with a 6-year-old and don't want to brave the crowds at Hongyadong at night, the stilted buildings during the day are just as beautiful. Afterward, take the Two Rivers Ferry to Danzishi, disembark, and explore Danzishi Old Street, Nanbin Road, and Xiahaoli. Then, take the light rail/bus or taxi back. The whole route is smooth and relaxing. The boat ride is novel and fun, and the kids especially loved it, remaining enthusiastic about exploring the shopping streets afterwards. At the pier, there's a large bowl of freshly cut watermelon for 10 yuan – watch it being cut right in front of you! It's sweet and refreshing. I highly recommend this route for families!

Overall experience was very good, a scenery was jaw dropping but very tiring. For families traveling with younger children, I would suggest not buying a combo ticket, as we were all spent after just seeing the three natural bridges and end up deciding not to go to the fissure gorge, this was due to the electric carts being suspended at the exit of the natural three bridges because the road was being repaired and we had to scale up almost 1 km by foot.

I decided to do this last minute. I had quite low expectations and it honestly blew me away is the most beautiful place I have been in all of my travels during my trip in China. I highly recommend visiting this place if you’re in Chongqing.

Before the various Yangtze River bridges, this was the main way for Chongqing residents to cross the river. Each carriage held about thirty people. When it wasn't crowded, the wait was about twenty minutes, and the crossing itself took about five minutes. A one-way trip cost 30 yuan, and a round trip 50 yuan. The experience was indeed quite unique. The only downside was that the windows were incredibly dirty!

Came for the pandas! We arrived right at opening time to see the pandas get fed breakfast. Their enclosure is right by the main entrance so no need to wander around, just be mindful of the Zoo Photographers and their equipment.

Enshi has been experiencing light rain every day recently, and fog is highly likely on the mountains. While walking along the cliffside plank road, everything was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see anything. Fortunately, the fog cleared when we reached "One Incense Stick," and we could see. This scenic area requires a bit of luck. The entire hike takes about 5 hours (from parking lot to parking lot). The most physically demanding section is from the beginning to the "One Line Sky," while the later sections are less strenuous. I think the Earth Fissure is more unique than Qixingzhai. Enshi Grand Canyon is a karst landscape, and Qixingzhai's appearance is more like a peak forest, lacking a distinctive feature. However, the Earth Fissure is very special: the collapse of the underground cave ceiling formed the Yunlong River Fissure, and the continuous erosion and dissolution of the cliff face by flowing water has created stone curtains, which is quite interesting. The scenic area is over 1000 meters above sea level and has many maple trees. With the recent light rain and large temperature differences between day and night, the maple leaves have turned red, which is also a sight to behold.

Because of the rain that day, the ape trail was closed, so we could only choose the bird trail. It was still a worthwhile trip. If you don't choose one of the trails when you arrive at Jianmen Pass, you won't be able to feel how dangerous it is.

My stay in Chongqing was fantastic! The hotel boasts a superb location, within walking distance of Eling No. 2 Factory and Liziba Viewpoint, making sightseeing incredibly convenient. The rooms were spotless and bright, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the amenities were complete. The free parking was a great convenience for travelers with cars. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, making check-in quick and easy, and patiently answering all my questions. Overall, it offered excellent value for money and is a top choice for any trip. I would definitely choose this hotel again next time.
