Wulong Fairy Mountain + Temple Ping
When it comes to cooling down in summer, no Chongqing person will ignore Wulong. It is full of mystery and charm. The summer is cool and the scenery is endless.
It is one of the most famous summer resorts in Chongqing, Fairy Mountain. In summer, the vast forests of Fairy Mountain are cool and pleasant, with gentle breezes blowing. You can camp, barbecue, ride horses, and even ski in the ice and snow world here.
Ping Temple is not as famous as Fairy Mountain, but it has a unique kind of beauty in the world. The poetic sunset, windmills, and bamboo sea are all said to be magical by those who have been there. Trails around the lake, fishing parks, and various residential buildings are looming in the forest.
