Introduction to Chongqing tourist attractions
The weather in Chongqing in April has been warm and the flowers are blooming. The temperature is between 15-25℃, which is a suitable season for traveling. Baidu Travel has various recommendations. It is recommended to refer to it. Paste a schedule for reference:
Day1 Geleshan Martyrs Cemetery-Bai Gongguan-Zhazi Cave-Ciqikou
Come to Chongqing and visit Chongqing. You must visit Yan Revolution Memorial Hall, Geleshan Martyrs Cemetery, Bai Gongguan, and Zhazi Cave. These places are all concentrated near the Martyrs Tomb in Shapingba District, only a few kilometers away. In these places, you will find many familiar events and names, such as General Yang Hucheng of the Xi'an Incident, Little Luobotou in the textbook, Jiang Jie Jiang Zhujun, etc. A morning visit is equivalent to a complete patriotic education.
Walk from the Martyrs’ Tomb toward Beibei for about 5 minutes. You can see an archway on the fork in the road with the inscription "Ciqikou" on it, and you will arrive at Ciqikou Ancient Town.
Leave aside the scenery, this place is definitely a world for diners: the most authentic Mao Xuewang, the less famous chicken offal and beancurd, and the Mahua that even the locals like very much. Among them, the most famous one is Chen Mahua, which is freshly fried and sold, sweet and crispy, with hot and cold flavors. It is very different from other places - as can be seen from the queue at the door. When foreign tourists come here, remember to walk more into the ancient town. Cheap and good food is hidden deep in the town.
We settled in a hotel in Shapingba in the evening. The accommodation here is relatively cheap and the transportation is very convenient. In addition, Southwest University of Political Science and Law and Sichuan University of Political Science and Law are nearby. If you have enough time, you can go shopping on campus (Chongqing people have a saying that "girls from outside Sichuan are like men from Xizheng").
Catering:
Try a variety of Chongqing specialty snacks at Ciqikou at noon, and dine at restaurants in Shapingba in the evening.
Accommodation:
It is recommended to stay in a hotel in Shapingba. The accommodation here is relatively cheap and the transportation is very convenient.
Day2 Dazu Rock Carvings
Today, we will spend one day visiting Dazu Rock Carvings. The Dazu Rock Carvings were rated as a "World Cultural Heritage" by the UNESCO. They were first built in the late Tang Dynasty and lasted from the Five Dynasties to the Southern Song Dynasty until the war. The stone carving groups are divided into Beishan, Nanshan and Baodingshan. Among them, Baodingshan stone carvings are the most concentrated, integrating culture, art and religion.
The Dazu Rock Carvings are a cultural landscape with very rich connotations. It is best to listen to the tour guide’s explanations or do your homework before setting off, otherwise the appreciation of the stone carving culture will be greatly reduced. You can hire a tour guide, which costs about 80 yuan/group; or you can wait at the entrance of Baoding and listen to the tour group's explanation.
Catering:
For lunch, you can consider a farmhouse. Youting crucian carp is a specialty here. Don’t forget to taste it when you come to Dazu. In the evening, have dinner at the food street in front of Baoding Mountain.
Accommodation:
When you return to Chongqing in the evening, you can continue to stay in the hotel the day before, or you can stay in a hotel near Chaotianmen to facilitate your trip tomorrow.
Day3 Furong Cave
Today we went to Wulong County next to Chongqing City. There are many scenic spots in Wulong County: Furong River, Tiankeng Third Bridge, Fairy Mountain, Fengdu Ghost Town, etc. However, in one day, you can only choose one or two scenic spots to visit in detail.
You can choose Furong River as your destination. Take a long-distance bus from Chaotianmen Bus Station to Wulong for 3 hours (fare 65 yuan), then take the bus from Wulong to Jiangkou Town, and then transfer to Jiangkou Town; you can also rent a car after arriving in Wulong. Along the way you can see the scenery of Furong River Dam.
Catering:
You can order the special bacon here at the farmhouse in the scenic area. In addition, if you have enough money, you might as well try the Wujiang fish along the Wujiang River. The meat is delicious.
Accommodation:
Stay in Jiangkou Town at night. There are many hotels in the town, and standard rooms only cost a few dozen yuan. In particular, the terraces of some hotels directly face the Wujiang River Roundabout. The scenery is amazing and it is a pleasure to stay here.
Day 4 Gongtan Ancient Town
Get up early in the morning, take a 30-minute ride from Jiangkou Town to Pengshui, then spend 20 yuan to take a motorcycle, 20 minutes to Wanzu, and then take a ride from Wanzu The boat ride takes about five hours (15 yuan, transfer in Hongdu on the way) and arrives at today's destination - Gongtan. (Actually, there is a bus from Pengshui directly to Gongtan, but it only leaves in the morning and the road condition is not very good.)
You can stay in the ancient town at night for 10 to 20 yuan per person. Or return to Chongqing city. There are two options for the return trip: one is to take the bus from Gongtan to Youyang (fare is about 20), and then take the bus from Youyang back to Chongqing Caiyuanba Bus Station or Chaotianmen Long-distance Bus Station (fare is about 20) The price is about 130 yuan); the second is to take a bus from Youyang Gongtan to Xiushan, and then take a train back to Chongqing.
