CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- The real beauty of Chongqing is worth discovering. The following scenic spots are worth walking to feel the charm.

Huangjia Lane

In Xuantan Temple, Nan’an District, there is a very simple old lane called Huangjia Lane.

Huangjia Lane is like a zigzag “gut”. From Ciyun Temple by the river, it rises along bluestone road and shuttles through the Shizi Mountain on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

Huangjia Lane was named after the rich businessman Huang Xizi. In 1911, the businessman from Huangpi, Hubei Province, raised money to establish Xisheng and Fuxingyu salt companies, and became one of the four legendary salt companies. After that, his business became better and better, and gradually became one of the few tycoons in Chongqing.

The long stone ladder stretches upward from Ciyun Temple on the Yangtze River, winding and bumpy. During the Anti-Japanese War, some famous actors lived in Huangjia Lane, so it was also known as “China’s Hollywood”.

Address: Xuantan Temple, Nan’an District

Bus: you can take Bus No. 338 / 375 / 373, get off at Zishui Xiaodeng Station and go upward from Shizi Mountain near Ciyun Temple.

Railway in Sichuan International Studies University

The railway is located in the school outside Sichuan International Studies University, with a total length of more than 500 meters. The original transport line of Chongqing Special Steel Factory is an indelible memory of generations of the university, and also a unique scenery of it. Do you remember the little train?

Once closed and then opened, the railway in Sichuan International Studies University can be said to be the favorite of many couples. It’s romantic to take a group of pictures and walk hand in hand！

Route: you can take Line 1, get off at Lieshimu Station and walk to the destination.

White Crane Ridge Underwater Museum

As a subordinate unit of Chongqing China Three Gorges Museum (Chongqing Museum), the inscription of the White Crane Ridge Underwater Museum in Fuling is known as the “World’s First Ancient Water Culture Station” and the world’s rare “Underwater Steles Forest”.

Allusion: There is a natural stone beam 1600 meters long and 15 meters wide in the Yangtze River in the north of Fuling. In the early years, there were often white crane clusters on the ridge, which spread their wings and frolic, leading their necks high, so it is called the White Crane Ridge.

If you want to visit it underwater, you can take a 90-meter-long tunnel escalator with a vertical height of 40 meters from the ground exhibition hall to enter the 147 meter long underwater time tunnel and the 70 meter long visiting corridor. It’s no exaggeration to say that the degree of exposure is more charming than the aquarium and more vivid than a museum.

2.Nan’an Toll Station, Chongqing － expressway along the river － Fuling South Toll Station － Binjiang Road, Fuling

Zhoujiashan Bridge

Zhoujiashan Bridge is beautiful as well as Niubei Mountain. It is only 20 kilometers away from Jiangbei Airport. Starting from main urban areas, the whole expressway can be available. From the lawn of Chongqing adjacent expressway, you can go straight along the secondary highway for 800 meters.

Zhoujiashan Bridge, which is widely recommended by photography enthusiasts, is the best place to photograph sunrise. In the early morning, with a breeze blowing, clouds and mist sometimes drift across the fields, sometimes in the mountains, sometimes through the bridge holes... It’s dreamlike.

If it was rainy the day before, you can enjoy the invincible scenery of the bridge from the clouds the next morning. No matter how powerful it is in the later stage, it can’t compare with the nature’s Photoshop technology! If you want to shoot sunrise, you can go to a nearby farmhouse for a night in advance, and start shooting 10 minutes before sunrise. 

Route: Downtown － Yuling Highway － 800 meters along the secondary highway

No matter these places are popular or small, Chongqing is so beautiful. Are you sure not to see them? (Translated by Luo Juan, Fathom Language Limited)
