There is a little-known but most beautiful Table Mountain in Chongqing.

There is a little-known but most beautiful Table Mountain in Chongqing. There is a prairie on the mountain. It takes 45 turns to go up the hill.

The mysterious mountains and rivers in Chongqing are shocking in number, volume and spectacular degree. Numerous sinkholes, cracks, canyons and rivers crisscross between cities and villages.

Come to Xiushan Chuanhegai Scenic Area. Xiushan, one of the most remote areas in Chongqing, is adjacent to Xiangxi in Hunan and Songtao in Guizhou. So far, there is no high-speed rail, and even the green leather trains are running. Traffic constraints have also kept Xiushan more primitive and original in this era of rapid development.

It takes about 6 hours to drive from the main city of Chongqing to Gai Scenic Area in Xiushan He Chuan. Of course, you can also stop and go on the way, such as eating chicken offal in Qianjiang, visiting the ancient town of Zhuoshui and the underground river of Puhua, staying for one night, and then going up the mountain leisurely the next day. Then, your trip will be richer and easier.

Chuanhegai Grassland Tourist Area is a 4A national scenic spot, which means a flat dam on a high mountain. Chuanhegai is a mountain with mountains, rivers and grasslands on the top of the mountain. Mountains with steep sides and flat tops like this are called "Table Mountains", and Emei Mountain and Wawu Mountain are both Table Mountains. Xiushan's Chuanhe Gai is located at an altitude of 1.200m, with a total area of 28 square kilometers, a forest coverage rate of 43%, an annual average temperature of 12 degrees, snow-covered grassland in winter and endless grassland in summer, and it is also a well-known member of "Table Mountain Boundary".

There are two ways to climb the river cover of 1200m. One way is to take the cableway 10 minutes. The other is to turn over the 45 turntable mountain highway by car.

If you are a fan of road trip and don't want to miss more beautiful scenery, a 45-turn turn will definitely make you glad you came, and you can feel more carefree and comfortable during your trip than taking a cableway. It takes more than 20 minutes to drive, but the whole journey is uphill, so it is very difficult to test driving skills. The scenery on the way is changeable and beautiful, and two of them can take pictures.

More beautiful scenery is at the top of the mountain. The lush grassland undulates on the hillside like a flowing picture scroll. At the end of the grassland is a dense forest, the edge of the forest is cliffs, and the distance is blue sky and white clouds, even clouds. Beautiful landscape roads divide the grassland into irregular blocks. Seen from high altitude, it is simply a replica of Van Gogh's works.

Open and vast scenic spots, no one crowded, no buzzing noise, everyone can have a big world, some people have a picnic on the grassland, some people pick up pine balls in the Woods, some people play paragliding in the air, and each has its own fun.

The hotel in the scenic spot is called "Chuanhegai Starry Hotel", which is also a beautiful punching point. The rooms are all mahogany villas, and there are grasslands, Woods and lakes in front of and behind the houses.

In the evening, the cover of the Chuanjiang River is shrouded by the sunset, much like the gentle orange sea in the animation. The evening breeze is soft and close to the ear. I feel very comfortable. After dinner, I walked on the path between grasslands, feeling the natural change from sunset to starry sky, surrounded by insects. There is really a state of noise and tranquility in the world.

In the morning, when you walk out of the hotel, you can find several scenic spots along the forest path, such as Jiangjun Cliff, Qiu Feng, Jiguan Mountain and Angel Cliff. Unfortunately, many scenic spots were hidden too deep and missed. Some of them have left regrets because the maintenance can only be seen by drones, and I look forward to making up for it next time.

But spending a day wandering in grasslands, flowers and forests is the most beautiful trip. This Hetao is worth a visit.
