How to get to Tongjing Hot Spring? How convenient is it to go there by yourself?

I just came back from Tongjing Hot Spring yesterday, and I will give you a rough outline of the process, for reference only.

First take the bus to Hongqigou (North Bus Station), walk up a short distance in the direction of the bus, pass directly through the underground passage to the opposite side, and arrive at the North Bus Station. It's strange that although I take the bus in the station, I don't buy the ticket at the ticket window. After entering the station, go down the ladder from the small door to the bathroom on the right, then walk to the right to the end, and then you can find Tongjing's bus. There seem to be several ways to get from Chongqing to Tongjing. If we take the old road, which is bad and prone to traffic jams, we encountered traffic jams. Later, each passenger was charged an additional 1 yuan to take the expressway. "It took more than half an hour to go around the winding mountain road. The mountain road was so curved that several passengers couldn't help but feel nauseated. Get off at a place that looks like Zhaozhou Bridge. The water flowing under the bridge may be water discharged from the hot springs, which is white foaming. It should be discharged directly without treatment. You can also see plastic bags, fruit peels and other garbage thrown by tourists under the bridge. After crossing the bridge and walking about 100 meters to the right, you will reach the gate of Tongjing Hot Spring. There is a farmhouse soliciting customers at the gate.

Since I had read some online reviews and thought farmhouses were cheap and reliable, I followed a woman soliciting customers up the mountain from the left gate, walked about two hundred meters, and entered a standard small brick farmhouse. room and go up to the third floor. This is her suite. We stayed in one of the very small bedrooms, except for the bed and TV cabinet. Only the aisle remains. There are only public bathrooms here, no air conditioning, 50 yuan/night. The two of them ordered two dishes in the evening. The portions were small and they cost more than fifty yuan, which was just enough to fill them up. The night passed with no comfort at all.

I had two bowls of "plain noodles" in the morning, which cost 10 yuan. It was still early, so I walked slowly along the road (but not the bridge) for more than 20 minutes, and went to the town to buy some bread and fruit. We previously spent more than 90 yuan on Taobao to buy the "Chongqing Tourism Annual Pass Postcard". One person's ticket was free, and the other person got a 12% discount (the full ticket was 100 yuan). After wandering around for a while, I found two hotels. One is Tongjing Hot Spring Resort, which is diagonally opposite the locker room.

The Conch Hotel is about 500 meters away. The standard room price at Tongjing Hot Spring Resort is 380 yuan, and a single room is about 510 yuan; the standard room price at Conch Hotel is 240 yuan, and the single room seems to be 400 yuan higher because it is a suite. So, we chose a standard room in the Conch Hotel. Although it is the cheapest, it still feels like a vacation. The scenery outside the window is beautiful and the hotel facilities are pretty good. Breakfast for two is included. I put on the hotel bathrobe, went to the locker room to get a bath towel, and soaked in the hot spring.

In the promotion of Tongjing Hot Spring in the "Chongqing Tourism Annual Pass Postcard", it is said that there are more than 100 large and small pools, but in fact there are more than ten. I counted the ones that are still open, and the total is less than ten. , and also very scattered. Entering the locker room, there are two swimming pools, one large and one small. The large pool is suitable for swimming and has a temperature of about 30 degrees. The smaller pool is also a high-temperature pool. The temperature is over 40 degrees and the smell of sulfur is very strong. Follow along and enter the "Valley of Forgetfulness". On the left is a majestic mountain, at the foot of the mountain is a small river, and on the right are several small pools separated by rocks, with Chinese medicine packets in them (unfortunately, the soak has been diluted a long time ago and has not been replaced) . The radiant landscape is very suitable for couples. Go right out of the locker room and there is a surf pool, open from 8:30 to 9:00 every night, and open for half an hour on weekend afternoons. Talking about the feeling of surfing, it is a pity that the water temperature is low, the pool is shallow, the waves are small, and the time is short. Go ahead, take the forked road to the right, cross a bridge and go down. There are several steam rooms. It's very comfortable to go and steam yourself when you feel cold. The steam room is next to the small fish therapy pool. The temperature is about 20 degrees. You can only put your feet in and try it. In this weather, few strong people dare to test the water. Continuing walking for a while, we came to the Japanese hot spring pond, which is shaped into a round wooden basin. It is still very unique. The temperature is about 32 degrees. There are dozens of fish spa fish the size of small crucian carp in it. Being bitten by such a big fish was really uncomfortable at first, but gradually I got used to it and it became a kind of enjoyment. Not far from the Japanese hot spring pool, there is also a high-temperature pool and two soaking pools under the pavilion. This is what Tongjing Hot Spring is all about.

Personal feelings: Advantages: The water quality is good and it is an authentic hot spring. Disadvantages: There are too few swimming pools and they are scattered. People who are afraid of the cold in winter are at a disadvantage; there is a lack of special swimming pools and the playability is low; the quality of the staff in the scenic area needs to be improved. More than once, I heard the waiters talking in obscene words at work. ; Environmental awareness needs to be improved. I saw a male waiter killing birds in front of tourists. Travel tip: Come early on the first day and book a room for one night at the Conch Hotel. Do not stay in a farmhouse. I am not picky about the environment, but staying in a farmhouse that day is not only a waste of time, but also a disappointment. When I went back, I found a private car back to Chongqing in the town. Sharing a car only costs 20 yuan per person. Don't take the bus. It's hard to take the old road or the new road. I won't go into details.
