Probably the best China could afford in those era to give it's citizens a view of the great places of the world. Now most of them probably afford to see the original ones across the globe. OK for kids, to have a glimpse of the world famous sites and monuments in the same place.

Window of the world was an experience! The theme park itself was quite old and worn, with a lot of the park looking dirty and unclean. But it had a certain charm and I especially enjoyed the lake's water fountain show to some Disney and opera songs. I really did enjoy it and the lack of stars is only a reflection on the tiredness of the park. Sydney Opera House for example looked as though it had been on a three week bender - looked a bit dirty and smelly, but like lots of fun...

Came here for a layover in Changsha. Tickets are expensive (180 RMB) and not worth it. The park was tired and worn out with barely any people during the day. Seemed almost like an abandoned amusement park. Performances were not happening and there were barely any staff in the park. Go to the one in Shenzhen...it's 10x better!

Beautiful theme park with very accurate reproductions of world famous monuments. Very nice cultural show in evening. Don't miss to see the beautiful Chinese girl dressed as Chinese traditional wedding girl. Thanks to Ms Zheng Hao who took me to this beautiful place during my visit to Changsha. Must go during visit to Changsha.

Nice playing ground

(Translated by Google) I was prepared to go after seeing the reviews saying it was old, but it was even more beautiful than I expected. It was nice that there weren't many people. I took my 1-year-old with me, and it was nice to take a walk, and there was also an indoor amusement park for kids. The staff seemed to be taking turns taking a break, so there were some play equipment that I couldn't ride on. Boats and VR require additional fees. When I ordered gyudon at a shop next to the roller coaster that rotates once, it was seasoned like a hot pot. There were also other stinky tofu shops. Although you can't see it on the map, there are many hills, so if you have small children, we recommend renting a stroller. The Ferris wheel had a lot of stairs so it was a little difficult. It was a nice change of pace. I think 20 yuan per person is cheap considering you can play this much. (Original) 古いとのレビューを見て覚悟して行きましたが、想像より綺麗でした。人も少なく良かったです。1歳児を連れて行きましたが散歩するにも良く、子供向けの室内遊園地もあって良かったです。スタッフの方が交代で休憩に行ってるらしく乗れない遊具もありました。 ボートやVRは別料金が必要です。 一回転するジェットコースターの横のお店で牛丼を頼んだら、火鍋の味付けでした。 他にも臭豆腐の店などもありました。 地図では分かりませんが坂道が多く、小さい子供がいる場合はベビーカーを借りることをお勧めします。観覧車は階段がすごくて少し大変でした。良い気分転換になりました。 これだけ遊べて一人20元は安いと思います。

(Translated by Google) Not bad, I went there when I was in junior high school. We played for an entire afternoon and felt exhausted before we finished playing.

One of the 4 oldest schooling institutes in China, and is the one with the best perseverance. Beautiful architecture, landscaping gardens and pools. It is now part of the Hunan University.

A very good place for you to understand ancient China

1000yrs old+ academy! Very historical place, it’s big with nice view. It’s a good place to take pics and you can enjoy coffee and tea inside!

The oldest public higher education institute of China. Well preserved. Set in the deep woods of Yuelu Mountain.

Wonderful ancient seat of learning in the equally impressive Hunan University. Must see.

One of the four ancient academies in China. Plenty of history to explore and enjoy.

Very historical and nice place! A must-go place I Changsha!!

It takes around 45mins of uphill walk to reach the peak from the main gate entrance near 溁湾镇(地铁站). Was a tiring hike up, but there is an option of a tram ride. Hike up and on your way down, you can visit An Wan pavilion, then Yue Lu Academy.

This one was quite overrated for me. Once you get to the entrance you pay for a bus service to go to the top assuming you don’t want to take the long walk. Once you are up there you can see a nice view of the city but that’s about it. The other attractions here are kind of mediocre.

Obnoxious entry process, you have no idea what documentation is needed and the entry area is crowded. Seems worth it if you can clear all the communist control hurdles

so hot

Long walk up the mountain 🏔 but well worth it. Crowded on Sunday’s.

Is a lovely place in Changsha City. The Yuelu mountain is good for a walk from the lowland to the top of the the mountain. Along the way you can see old temple very well maintained. The walk to the top of the mountain take about one hour. The are many place to relax and enjoy with young children. You can take a mini bus or the cable chair to the top too.

Not high altitude… and dont forget to enjoy the chayan yuese

Chairman Mao was giving birth at this small villages in Shaoshan farmer family. This residence where he lived for 17 years with his siblings and parents . The old residence show case of his childhood and the farming works. He loves to study instead of doing the farm work as one of the eldest son, he has high expectation from his dad to inherit the family business. Great to visit if you happen to be here to see his childhood residence ! This is just another 10 mins walk from the bronze statue. You may expect to have Long queue into visiting if his house and you also need to keep your camera and big carrier in the locker!

In all honesty, it's just a house. Not very large, and with a very very long line. But, the environment around it and historical importance make it a very cool spot nonetheless.

Well preserved historic site.

The birthplace of one of the greatest leaders in history, who stood up for and liberated his people.

Visited here decades ago, wish I could visit someday!

This is a historical place where Chairman Mao Zedong was grown up till the age of 17.

Since I didn't book tickets for the 72奇楼 in advance, I only took photos from the outside and across the street before taking a taxi back to the hotel (staying at Hilton Hampton Hotel希爾頓歡朋酒店). It’s right opposite the Tianmen Mountain天門山 ticket station, super convenient. On the third day, since the hotel was right across from the ticket office, we could take our time enjoying breakfast before heading over. We had booked an entry time between 7:30 and 8:00 AM. There weren’t many people, so we quickly made it onto the cable car. And because it wasn’t crowded, we pretended not to understand and waited for the next cabin before getting on 😉. Due to the heavy fog—or perhaps the morning mist hadn’t cleared yet—the mountain views were sometimes clear, sometimes obscured. But I could tell we were really high up, and it was a bit scary... Finally, we reached the mountaintop. I initially thought taking the West Route would be easier, but it wasn’t until we reached Tianmen Mountain Temple that I found out we had to take the mini cable car at the summit to descend—otherwise, we’d have to backtrack along the West Route or take the longer East Route. When I saw the cable car, my legs went weak—it was basically a suspended gondola. That day, it was windy with a light drizzle, so we had no choice but to take the East Route again. When we arrived at Tianmen Cave, the opening wasn’t visible due to the fog. We had no option but to go into a restaurant and have a bowl of noodles (only wonton was available, and thankfully, it wasn’t spicy). After waiting about an hour, the fog finally lifted a little, so I took a quick "I was here" photo just to get the obligatory shot.

Very nice. The price was quite steep but it included the amazing cable car ride that took you directly from the heart of the city to Tianmensan in half and hour, no fuss. The view from the top was beautiful and it was also fun to ride the never-ending escalators.

Amazing mountain. Get there early and go to the West walk first to beat the tours. The glass skywalks are incredible. This is a must see if going to China. The “Avatar” mountains are great to see also. Spend the day and climb the Stairs to Heaven and Fairy peak. Get your cardio peaked because there are loads of stairs and long walks but well worth it

Most incredible park, even better than the National Park. There was so much fog unfortunately but the hike on top of the mountain made it so worth it, despite it. I recommend also for you to take route B, as it allows you to do the 999 Stairs to Heaven first and finish with the hike on top of the mountain. It is also a much less crowded route. You do end up taking the cableway, downward at the end of your visit

Nature is amazing, everything is breathtaking. When I've been to Japan, I've heard that you have to rely on luck to see Mt. Fuji. This place is no different. Of course, I visited on a foggy day, so I didn't get the most beautiful view, but it was still impressive and the weather was beautiful. I recommend buying comfort for your money. It will save you time, reduce fatigue, and eliminate the frustration of waiting in line.

This is mountain is definitely a must visit place in Zhangjiajie. Breathtaking scenery, a challenge to hike up the stairways till the top... it's like a stairways to heaven... lol.. with the sun ray thru the huge gap... and never ending escalators to the very top of the mountain. Finally, the Bailong lifts that brings you back safely to the other side of the mountain.

It is a great scenic spot. You take a cable car, and after that a shuttle bus. The shuttle bus goes through 99 hairpin bends to get you to the Gateway of Heaven. After that, you can also take escalators (12 in total) to the peak. You can also try to walk the 999 steps to the Gateway of Heaven. Toilets are reasonably clean, and there are a lot of food stalls. There is even a Burger King.

This place is actually in Yuanding another district in Zhang Jia Jie. We had to travel about 40 minutes from WulingYuen. So it’s quite an exciting experience. You would take the world longest cable car, ride ~7.5 km right from the middle of the city , slowly climbing across the train stations and various sights , travelling into the rural areas and towards the mountain. It’s about 25 minutes ride. There are various scenic sites around the Tian men park , but we had a cloudy day and couldn’t get a good view of the mountains on the wooden planks gallery walk and glass walkway . Pro Tip you can pay more for express passes for the cable car rides . Totally worth it . And if you don’t want to climb down the 999 steps of Tianmen , you can take the world longest escalator down . N actually it’s pretty interesting seeing Tianmen iconic hole from the posterior view before the climb down .

The place was stunning. I would take route A and go west route. Stay at the Hampton. The cable car was across the streeet. Get there when they open. Lines fill up fast and queue can be up to 40 mins to hours. Got there at 7am and still waited 40mins.

Another wonderful experience on our recent trip. We were lucky enough to have a clear day/evening and a wonderful view of the cave. We climbed down the 999 steps from the cave to the ground. Steps are narrow so take your time coming down. Once dusk is upon you, the lighting just adds to the amazing atmosphere. A must go!

Took the west route. Be prepared to walk long distances. Buy entry tickets in advance as the wait time can be more than 2 hours during peak times.

Even Tho it Rained All-day Long It's Still Worth A Visit, Unfortunately When We Went It Was Forecast Torrential Rain For 3 Days But Still Amazing Place To Visit.

In Zhangjiajie, in the same category of the Avatar's Halleluyah Mountains, this Tuanmen Mountain, aka Heaven's Gate, is a must see and experience while in Zhangjiajie It is awesome and magnificent at the same time. Imagine the effect of awesome and magnificent happening at the same time! This place although is touristy, but nevertheless it is still the place to visit and not to be missed. It is truly acwobder of GOD'S artistry in creating one huge hole into the solid mountain, hence the name Tianmen! It is truly a gateway into heaven! Couple with the 999 step of staircase leafing to this "huge hole", it truly gives you the feel of Stairways to Heaven! Blessed are the people, there are escalators for the less mobile or less physically fit ones to enjoy the scenery from the Heaven Gate.

Really cool experience, worthy to see and visit. It’s very crowded and there is more way hot get up. The most popular is half an hour long cablecar but for example in august you have to buy tickets at least one week in advance. The other way to get up or not bad either 👍

Very beautiful old town with traditional style buildings. Have a slow stroll along river and take in the gorgeous riverside scenery. There are many shops along the main shopping street selling traditional snacks and local food as well as traditional handicrafts.

Fenghuang Bridge is a beautiful experience and a gorgeous place to explore. It is truly one of those places you have to visit at least once.

Very beautiful view, should come at night and stay here for 1 night and get up early in the morning to take pictures.

The ancient city of Phoenix is a place for the avid photographer The view from the river is enchanting and picturesque

One of the many beautiful bridges..

One of the beautiful bridges along Tuojiang river in Fenghuang. The ancient city is lively in the evening and very picturesque

Beautiful

It's a spectacular cave, well worth a visit.

Huge cave with colourful lighting. Took a cable car before reaching the entrance of the cave. Public toilet are available before and after the cable car. No toilet available inside the cave. Comfortable footwear highly recommended. Approximately an hour or more walk in the cave. Prepare raincoat as weather can be unpredictable once come out from the cave. Very good experience indeed. Amazing granite, stone formations.

The cave is incredible, and the lighting and descriptions are well done. It's about a mile long. The cave was pretty warm inside in the winter.

Huge cave. But need a guide to point out what is the rare limestone that made it UNESCO. We couldn’t find them

This is just another similar cave that you may have visited in other province of China. Nothing extra special.

(Translated by Google) Fuyo Cave, a world heritage site. It takes about an hour to see the inside, and you need to use the ropeway or the 3km promenade to get to the entrance. I think the inside is beautifully maintained and the lighting is well done. The view from the top of the mountain was also quite good and worth seeing.

It’s about 2 hrs from Chongqing. Beautiful green trees and waterfalls clear water. Its a long walk tho, if can go during the fall or spring. We arrived around 1030, it got hot 2 hrs into it.

A-must visit! Three Magical Bridges in Wulong is truly magical and calming. Even with a long 4 km-ish trail, I didn’t feel tired because every view was so enjoyable. I visited in autumn, and the chilly temperature made the whole experience even more beautiful. This is the filming site of Transformers 4 by the way.

I visited during the typical foggy season, but the scenery defied expectations. The misty atmosphere amplified the unique charm of China's natural landscape. What struck me most was the harmonious blend of breathtaking natural beauty and modern engineering, exemplified by the vertical lift that transports you down the cliff. The experience was awe-inspiring. Walking through the valley engaged all my senses in a way that photos simply can't capture. Visiting this place was unforgettable.

Used the elevator to go down to the valley. Then wandering through the cave and rocks with fresh air. Not suitable for toddler and elderly due to the long walk.

This is a total scam. I cannot appreciate the so called bridges which is not but just a rock formation. The tiktok influencers craze of a finger cave or a knife cave and even a fish cave is quite difficult to accept. Ticket price is expensive and one has to walk a real distance to look at the so called bridges. Leveraging on transformers is also another thing which I find difficult to accept. Dont waste your time with this in my opinion.

Stunningly gorgeous!! The visit (3 to 4 km walking) took about an afternoon to finish. It covers 3 to 4 scenic spots. All of them were beautiful. We took a lot of pictures from different points of view. Highly recommended.

A breathtaking natural landscape with well-maintained facilities—just be cautious of slippery paths if it rains.

Take a short walk to visit an ancient temple, accessible via a bridge. The temple, once sitting at the peak of a mountain, is now below water level and is wrapped around by a 50m? concrete wall from the flooded river. The temple within a basin (盆中庙) is made of wood with no nails.

Beautiful country, wonderful hospitality, hope to visit again someday.

(Translated by Google) The unique monastery of Shibaozhai is usually only worth a side note in most travel guides. It is not without justification that the Chinese have placed this unique monastery complex on their country's list of historical monuments. Thanks to public funding and the construction of a huge concrete ring/cofferdam, the pagoda and the surrounding temple complex were protected so that they can still be visited after the construction of the Three Gorges Dam. Very few tourists to China will probably see the uniquely beautiful “Red Pagoda” or Shibaozhai or the “Stone Treasure Fortress”. I made sure that we were able to visit this place when structuring the trip, which I will always remember. The "Stone Treasure Fortress", visible from afar and glowing red, is a gigantic pagoda that was built on the rock like a swallow's nest on the southern bank of the Yangzi. The entire complex was built around 1650 in the Qing Dynasty. The temple-monastery complex consists of three parts: the entrance gate, the almost 56 meter high pagoda consisting of 12 floors and the temple on the mountain top. The climb up the very narrow stairs inside the pagoda is strenuous, but the views of the Yangtze and the many small and large Buddha statues are worth it. The fortress-like structure was given the name “Stone Treasure Fortress” based on an old Chinese legend: “Rice, the treasure, is said to have flowed constantly from a crack in the rock, on which the monks and their guests fed. But one day, out of greed, one of the monks carved a bigger hole in the rock to get more rice. That was the end. The spring dried up and the monastery was built in its place.” The entire temple-monastery complex is now fully developed for tourism. From the ship dock in the village, a swaying bridge made of wooden slats leads to the pagoda and temple. You will then be directed to the red pagoda, which you can climb to the 9th floor. Once there, the exit leads directly into the temple complex that was built by Emperor Qianlong. The view from this height of the slowly flowing Yangtze is magnificent. . You have to give it to the Chinese: if they want, they can do something for the culture. It would have been very sad if the construction of the Three Gorges Dam had caused the complex to sink into the water. Even if the huge concrete ring is certainly not the most beautiful sight, this unique facility has been preserved and you hardly notice it inside the facility thanks to the lush vegetation (Original) Das einzigartige Kloster von Shibaozhai ist den meisten Reiseführern meistens nur eine Randnotiz wert. Diese einzigartige Klosteranlage haben die Chinesen nicht unberechtigt auf die Liste der historischen Denkmäler ihres Landes gesetzt. Dank öffentlicher Gelder und dem Bau eines riesigen Betonrings/Kofferdamms wurden die Pagode und die anliegende Tempelanlage geschützt, so dass man sie auch noch nach dem Bau des Drei-Schluchten-Staudamms besichtigen kann. Die einzigartig schöne „Rote Pagode“ auch Shibaozhai bzw. die „Steinschatzfestung“ werden wohl die allerwenigsten China-Touristen sehen, ich habe bei der Zusammensetzung der Reise darauf geachtet dass wir diesen Ort besichtigen konnten was mir immer in Erinnerung bleiben wird. Die von weitem sichtbare und rot leuchtende „Steinschatzfestung“ ist eine gigantische Pagode, die am südlichen Ufer des Yangzi wie ein Schwalbennest an den Fels erbaut wurde. Erbaut wurde die gesamte Anlage um das Jahr 1650 in der Qing Dynastie. Der Tempel-Klosterkomplex besteht aus drei Teilen: Das Eingangstor, die aus 12 Stockwerken bestehende fast 56 Meter hohe Pagode und der Tempel auf dem Berggipfel. Der Aufstieg auf der sehr engen Treppe innerhalb der Pagode ist zwar anstrengend aber die Aussichten auf den Yangtse und die Ansicht der vielen kleinen und großen Buddha-Statuen entlohnt einen dafür. Der Name „Steinschatz-Festung“ bekam die festungsähnliche errichtete Anlage auf Grund einer alten chinesischen Sage: „Einst soll aus einem Spalt im Felsen beständig Reis, der Schatz, geflossen sein, von dem sich die Mönche und ihre Gäste ernährten. Doch eines Tages meißelte einer der Mönche aus Gier ein größeres Loch in den Felsen, um mehr Reis zu bekommen. Das war das Ende. Die Quelle versiegte und das Kloster wurde an ihrer Stelle errichtet.“ Die gesamte Tempel-Kloster Anlage ist mittlerweile voll touristisch erschlossen. Von der Anlegestelle der Schiffe im Dorf führt eine schwankende Brücke, die aus Holzlatten steht, zu der Pagode und dem Tempel. Dann wird man zur roten Pagode geleitet, die man bis zur 9. Etage ersteigen kann. Dort angekommen führt der Ausgang direkt in die Tempelanlage, die von Kaiser Qianlong erbaut wurde. Die Aussicht aus dieser Höhe auf den gemächlich dahinfließenden Yangtse ist grandios. . Eins muss man den Chinesen lassen, wenn sie wollen können sie auch was für die Kultur tun. Es wäre sehr traurig gewesen, wenn mit der Errichtung des Drei-Schluchten-Dammes die Anlage in den Fluten versunken wäre. Auch wenn der gewaltige Betonring sicher nicht der allerschönste Anblick ist, so hat man diese einzigartige Anlage damit erhalten können und innerhalb der Anlage bemerkt man ihn dank üppiger Vegetation kaum

This is a temple that worship the underworld emperor in the Chinese folklore. It has 1900 years of history with a lot of mythical legends associated with it. The structures looked a little worn and not particularly impressive. Like many sights in China, there were many tourists. Unless you know the legends and history behind the gods worshipped, a local guide is absolutely necessary.

amazing so huge and also for children interesting the Temples are on three hills if you wanna visit all start early

A hard walk up to the top if the weather is hot and humid but worth it. Great views and lots of temples to visit.

Prepare to walk a bit even not taking the cable up. For those with strong legs, it is a good scenic walk to go up to the attraction.

This place is a popular destination for lots of people especially if you are on the Yangtze River cruise. I didn't feel like a must do thing. It basically showcase the Taoist believe if he'll. And what to expect there and the deities guarding hell.

Interesting and quite beautiful. Lots of stairs, but we got the chair lift which gave a nice view of the city. Not far off the ground , so not scary at all. You do have to be quick getting on and off as the carriages don’t stop, but there are people helping you and opening and shutting doors. Can be very noisy with tourist groups here as they all use loud speaker earphones and that can be quite deafening. Tourist photo shoot going over the bridge, but you do not have to buy the photo. As usual, souvenir shops and some where to buy a drink and ice cream. Very clean toilets.

It's a neat place to learn a little more about Taoist and Buddhist beliefs. The temple complex is actually a replica of the original, which was sadly razed during the Cultural Revolution. So although most of it dates back to only the last 10-20 years, it does faithfully recreate what was here before. The only original piece is the Lord of the Netherworld, 'cause even when following the Chairman's orders, the locals weren't stupid. The place is made up of a series of different temples, all fulfilling various purposes in Taoism and Buddhism. There are also a few allegorical tests for spirits that you can do, with varying levels of touristy knick-knacks accompanying them. The temple or shrine to the king of the underworld is active though, and you can participate if you want or just observe. But while I was there a fair few faithful came to pay their respects via an interesting tradition-they took bamboo passports with seals made from cinnabar ink, offered them to the lord, then had them ritualistically burned outside. There are limited bathroom opportunities and only snacks and bottled drinks available, so if you're not on a Yangtze River Cruise, make sure you bring supplies.

Lovely view high up here in the mountains. I came up at 10am and there's no one in the cave. It's a surreal experience.

Spectacular high karst table mountain

5A+++ Good experience.

Jinfo Shan (Golden Buddha Mountain, Jinfoshan, Chin Shan, Jinfushan, Chin fu shan, chin fo shan, Chinese: 金佛山), the highest peak of Dalou Mountains, located in the upper reach of the Yangtze River, is situated in Nanchuan District, Chongqing. Jinfo Shan has been listed as a tentative World Heritage site since 2001。

Nice places

I didn’t managed to complete the whole area due to rainfall. Overall, it’s a breathtaking experience to be enclave especially walking along side the cliff toward the swallow cave. I believed spring would be the best season to visit. However, the cable ride could be a challenge when the crowds build up during that period.

Amazing place 😍 I love 🇨🇳 Chongqing

The dome shaped China Three Gorges Museum is free to public, and it displays four main themes for educational, research and preservation purposes. You can learn the ancient Ba-Yu culture and history, early Chongqing and the epic Three Gorges Dam. The museum also has a large collection of relics and artifacts, and all are the original versions. Entrance is free, however you need to pre-register online and generate a QR code for the security guard to scan upon entering. The museum is very popular among domestic tourists too, so be prepared to wait in line for the checking of tickets and also security screening. Suggested time is 1-2 hours depending on how detailed you wanna read the descriptions of the artifacts. Most of it is in Chinese though.

The Three Gorges Museum in Chongqing is definitely one of the must-do itineraries when visiting the city. Located right across from the Great Hall of the People, the museum itself is modern and impressive, both in scale and design. Inside, you’ll find well-curated exhibits that cover a wide range of topics—from the history and culture of Chongqing to the monumental Three Gorges Dam project, ancient artifacts, and even wartime history. The exhibitions are detailed and engaging, offering a good mix of cultural relics, multimedia, and reconstructed scenes that bring history to life. You can easily spend half a day here walking through the different galleries, and there’s a lot to absorb, so pacing yourself is key. It’s not just about the Three Gorges; it’s also a window into the heritage of the entire region. The museum is free to enter, which makes it even more worthwhile. With its thoughtful displays, spacious layout, and comprehensive storytelling, it’s a great place for both history lovers and casual visitors who want to understand Chongqing beyond its food and scenery.

There are several exhibitions showing the history of Chongqing in different time periods. Most of the text descriptions are in Chinese only, so you can use a translator application on your phone. The entrance is free of charge. There are also many different souvenir shops inside

Museum about the geography, culture and history of the three gorges area of China (Yangtze River Civilisation). Wonderful museum, but there is too much to see! There are too many rooms, by the end we were tired and rushing through the rooms in order to finish our visit sooner. Other than that, it's a great visit with a lot of interesting stuff.

Great place to learn about the history of Chongqing! You need to download app from WeChat. There’s a QR code you need to scan and make a reservation.

Nice museum for free. Was not overcrowded during the week.

First, i would like to give a notice in advance for all traveller and especially solo traveller, this place closed on every monday. From Tuesday to Sunday, they open until 16:30. The place is quite huge, its amazing. The place is near Chongqing people square, there is a big park. You can see Chongqing People Auditorium from across the place. Huge and enourmous architecture. Near the place there a few restaurant such as KFC and Burger King, some gift store also there.

Highly recommend using the rentable cars to get around. Too much walking in the blistering heat. The restrooms are disgusting and filthy. Make sure to go before arriving at the zoo. While they have an impressive amount of animals, the fence and cloudy glass ensure that you won’t get a good view.

Chongqing Zoo is certainly a very large facility, offering a wide array of animals. I found myself navigating vast grounds, which can be quite a walk. While the pandas are undoubtedly the stars here, and they enjoy a wonderfully spacious containment area with plenty of room to roam and play, I did observe a noticeable disparity in enclosure sizes. Some of the other animals, unfortunately, seemed to have smaller pens. This contrast can make you feel a bit conflicted about the conditions. Regarding amenities, the bathrooms are standard public restrooms. They are functional and serve their purpose without offering anything particularly noteworthy. During my visit, the heat was quite intense, which impacted my experience of seeing the animals. Many of them were wisely resting in the shade or inside their enclosures, making it challenging to spot them. If you plan to visit, I highly recommend going during cooler weather or earlier in the morning to maximize your chances of seeing the animals active. Despite the heat affecting my viewing, the sheer size of the zoo and the well-cared-for pandas remain a significant draw.

The animal wathcing experience was ok, ample food options in the zoo compound, however the downside, people actually smoke cigarettes in the zoo compound everywhere, not to forget with kids around but their parents seem unfazed by it.

It's a decent zoo. Prices are affordable and a good 1-2 hour walk to see some wild animals. The panda is the main attraction and is there as soon as you walk in. 🐼 They also have red pandas which are also really cute. The bear walking backward fown the stairs is funny. China needs to really clean their public bathroom cause its nasty everywhere 🚻 This zoo is a nice attraction and cheap. Take Line 2 train to "Zoo" literally. I wouldn't come back though. Nice one time experience

DarrenKhoo: Chongqing Zoo surpassed my expectations with its diverse attractions. The hidden amusement park within the zoo was a pleasant ...

First time I got to see a panda! The zoo was big and we went when it was super hot but, even the attractions were cool here! The zoo has a lot of animals that are active and worth checking out.

We got there exactly at opening hour, which is still the time the pandas are out and playful before it gets too hot. With waking up early for that!it's also a very nice zoo with each animal having a lot of space as well as a private area to be to hide from the crowds if they wish to.

(Translated by Google) good. Be careful when driving on a winter morning or if it rains lightly, as the road may be slippery with many twists and turns. (Original) 还行。冬天的早上或者下小雨的话，开车要小心，弯多路滑

Nice area, although most of it is very commercialised these days. Try to go beyond the main street and explore some of the more authentic and less busy streets.

Visited on 11 June. Nothing much here (many shops selling repeated items) but two perfume stores are recommended. “When and Where” and 气味日记。 During midday, this place was like a desert, stay hydrated.

Lots of people walk the small section thinking there's not much here. This place is HUGE! You have to walk to the temple and even more behind it! Lots of food and snacks everywhere and prices are regular price = cheap

Lots of stalls selling Chinese small bites 小吃. Nice traditional architecture with a temple (宝轮寺) However, do not waste your stomach space with the food. Guanyin qiao 观音桥sells similar food with better quality

Ciqikou is an old place turn to touristy spot which has variety of local foods, cafe, coffee shop, souvenirs shop and many more. It is a big place, clean, and easy access. There is no halal food option, but me & my husband grab a delicious Indian Roti for our snacks after going around the area.

Ciqikou Ancient Town is a shopping area consisting of mostly new buildings designed to look like ancient Chinese buildings. It's vibrant and exciting with lots of interesting food and traditional as well as modern Chinese goods. we enjoyed our visit but I would suggest you plan to spend no more than three hours here.

Ancient town with many small shops selling food, souvenirs, accesories. Mostly are fixed price so it's easier no need to haggle, especially with language barrier it can be very stressfull.

If you're in Chongqing, don’t miss the chance to witness this stunning piece of history. Highly recommended! The serene atmosphere adds to the experience, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the beauty and significance of the site. The preservation of these carvings is impressive, and walking among them feels like stepping back in time. We book a tour with klook, but the ride here was about 2-3 hours it's crazy but worth it.

Dazu Rock Carvings, 120km from Chongqing, is a must-see place. This area consists of 2 areas 15km apart: Baoshan and Baodingshan. Baoshan accounts for about 20% of the stone statues, so you should go first. When you come here, you should buy a package ticket to visit the 2 areas and a bus ticket for Baodingshan, which is much cheaper than buying separately. You should be here when the relic site opens at 8:30 to avoid the crowds, it takes about 30 minutes to visit here. The experience of walking in the middle of a quiet green forest, listening to the birds chirping is wonderful. The statues are carved directly into the cliffs and are very beautiful. After viewing, you should leave quickly to go to Baodingshan Rock Carvings, about 15km away.

It's a nice place with an interesting ancient history. It is worth arriving with knowledge in advance or with an English-speaking guide. There are lots of beautiful sculptures carved into the rock. Each statue with a history and story of their own interesting. It's uphill with lots of stairs, so it's not for everyone. You should take this into account. If you come in the middle of the week, the place is not particularly crowded and you can certainly see everything in a relaxed and interesting way.

(Translated by Google) The unforgettable Moya stone carvings are no less impressive than the Yungang stone cellar. Moreover, after a dedicated explanation, I learned that there are no stone carvings from the Five Dynasties period. It is the most complete stone carvings of the Five Dynasties preserved in the whole of China. (Original) 令人難忘的的磨崖石刻，不輸云崗石窖，而且在專人講解下，才知冇五代時期的石刻，在整個中国是保存五代石刻最完整的

(Translated by Google) It is recommended to join a local tour group. Through professional explanations, you can better understand the time and space background and differences of the original creation. Although Beishan is not as magnificent as the stone carvings on Baoding Mountain, the artistic works preserved from the folk crafts of the Tang Dynasty are still worth viewing. (Original) 建議參加當地旅行團，經由專業解說能更了解當初創作的時空背景以及差異，北山雖然沒有寶頂山的石刻來的宏偉華麗，但是在唐朝民間工藝保留下來的藝術作品仍是很值得觀賞

(Translated by Google) The Beishan Cliff Carvings were first carved in the late Tang Dynasty and ended in the Southern Song Dynasty. The stone carvings are located on Beishan Mountain, 2 kilometers north of Dazu District. With Dafowan as the center, there are five places around it, including Guanyinpo, Yingpanpo, Foeryan, and Beita Temple. It is more than 500 meters long. The rock is about 7 meters high, and statues are carved along the cliff. From south to north, the shape is like a crescent moon, and the niches are like beehives. There are more than 5,000 statues. The statues are delicate and exquisite, and the craftsmanship is skillful and ingenious. Except for some inscriptions, towers and shallow niches, the rest are well preserved.

(Translated by Google) The environment is quiet. Compared with Baoding Mountain, the stone carvings are smaller in scale, but they are older. They started in the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Unfortunately, they were severely damaged. (Original) 環境清幽，相比寶頂山，石刻規模較小，但是年代更久遠，起於唐朝，五代十國時期，可惜遭受破壞嚴重。
