Even Chongqing locals don't know go on road trip's recommendation, don't know the good places in go on road trip around Chongqing, and don't know where to play.

Many places in Chongqing are crowded with people. If you don't want to be crowded, today I will take stock of those unpopular attractions in Chongqing that even the locals don't know!

Yintiaoling in Wuxi County 1

There is the only virgin forest in Chongqing, Yintiaoling at an altitude of 2796m, and there is only one way to the top. It's amazing to come here in autumn and see the red maple all over the mountain. When you climb to the top of the mountain in winter, you will walk from the virgin forest into the no-man's land gradually covered with snow and enter the paradise of wild animals.

There are almost no tourists in the natural canyon, but there are often donkey friends traveling by car, so there are some farmhouses to rest on the road. Here, you will surely witness the purest valley scenery!

Address: Management Office of Yintiaoling Nature Reserve, Wuxi County

By car: Huyu Expressway → Fengxi Expressway →S20 1→ Binhe South Road → Yintiaoling Nature Reserve Management Office of Wuxi County.

Tip: I suggest you know more about the specific self-driving trip up the mountain before planning. When you get to the local area, please ask the local people to adjust their plans appropriately!

2. Puhua Underground River

Outside the canyon, no one can imagine that after entering this narrow hole, you will see green mountains and green waters. This place is like a paradise.

This underground river is just under the Tiansheng Third Bridge. Boating on the river, there are not only canyons, but also springs, waterfalls and stalactites.

Address: West of Hanqian Villa, Qiupu Road, Zhuoshui Town 100 m.

By car: Jiangnan overpass → Inner Ring Expressway → Baomao Expressway → Qiupu Road → Puhua Underground River.

Tip: For the sake of safety, the scenic spot may be closed after the rainstorm, so it is safer to call the scenic spot staff before going to the underground river, especially after the rainstorm! Telephone number of scenic spots: 79462112,79462118.

3. Luzu Temple Republican Market

I have been to Jie Fangbei 1000 times, and I may not have been to the Republic of China market once: this two-story building is hidden in the downtown area, and you can eat French ancient hot pot and Pakistani pot upstairs. The first floor is set up to listen to the opera, move the bench to the teahouse of the Republic of China for tea, and then go to Chongqing pub for a few drinks in the evening. There is endless comfort. The decorations here are all in the style of old Chongqing. When you first come here, you will be attracted by its uniqueness.

Address: Luzu Temple on Minsheng Road 14 (former site of Luzu Temple)

Self-driving: Zhongshan No.1 Road → Minsheng Road

4. Jingangbei Ancient Village

What should the old street look like in your eyes? Old trees, bluestone roads, old houses, and most importantly, silence. The ancient town of Jingangbei is such a place.

Unfortunately, since the protective development began last summer, the main entrance has been locked, but there are still paths to find it by asking local people. Once bustling, it was just a passing sight in the long river of history. This old house has been turned into a dangerous building. If you are lucky enough to find a way in, you'd better stay away from the house ~

Address: Xiaxia Jinyun Mountain, BeiWenquan Town, Beibei District

By car: Jianxin North Road → Jinhong Avenue → Lanhai Expressway → BeiWenquan Town.

5. Orioles Grand Canyon

Among the local population, it also has a name, Yuqiangou. This canyon is several thousand meters deep, but its narrowest width is only 5 meters. There are waterfalls hanging on both sides of the canyon. Looking up at the sky here, you can feel the smallness of human beings in an instant, which is shocking. It has not yet been developed into a scenic spot, and the only way to enter is to walk. It is not difficult, but the beauty of the harvest is doubled. If it happens to rain, the whole canyon is surrounded by water vapor and smoke, and so is fairyland.

Address: Huangli Township, Wulong District

Self-driving: Inner Ring Expressway → Baomao Expressway → Wulong Service Area → Baiyang Road → Huangli Township.

Tip: This self-driving route only goes to Huangli Township. The specific route to the canyon needs to be planned by yourself. Of course you can't drive in the canyon!

6. Shengtianhu

This is an artificial mountain lake built by nearly 10,000 migrant workers in the 1970s after nearly 10 years' efforts. The mountains are reflected in the lake, and the flat river bank will definitely be a paradise for camping enthusiasts!

Seeing that the temperature has improved recently, it is just right to drive to escape the heat.

Address: Jindaoxia Town, East of Beibei District

Self-driving: Chongqing-Guangzhou Expressway → Chongqing Ring Expressway → Beijin Road → Pianlian Highway → Chongqing Shengtianhu Tourist Scenic Area.

7. Wenquan Temple

The history of this temple can be traced back to the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Up to now, the building has become the style of Amin and Qing Dynasty, but it has always been exquisite: carved flowers on blue bricks, kisses on cornices, murals and two tall and ancient ginkgo trees guard it, and you can see a golden land in autumn. Walking here is bound to climb mountains. In fact, there are beautiful scenery hidden around the temple, waiting for you to explore with your feet. If you want to relax in a quiet place, traveling to Li Le is the best choice.

Address: North Hot Spring Park, Beibei District

By car: Jinhong Avenue, Tuanshanbao Service Area of Lanhai Expressway to Yunkai Road, Lan Yu Line to Wenquan Temple.

Tip: Because there is a hot spring hotel in the park, you may see security guards. Don't doubt whether you are in the wrong place, just go forward boldly.
