Took the kids to Meixin Wine Town, reminiscing about our 'Foreigners' Street' in our hearts

Drove the kids to the wine town on the weekend, it took about 1 hour from the south bank, quite close to the main city. Surprisingly, on the highway, I saw billboards advertising the wine town as a 4A-level scenic spot, which instantly made me feel more affectionate After arriving at the scenic area, there are free parking spaces, but it's better to arrive early, otherwise, there are quite a lot of vehicles. The scenic area is built along the mountain, with 7 cableways forming a cableway park loop. For 18.99 yuan, you can ride any line as many times as you want, valid for 2 days, and it really retains the style of the original 'Foreigners' Street', with a focus on affordability and value for money. We started from Line 2 (enclosed cabin) and transferred to Line 3 (basket cabin) to reach the Paulownia Village Agricultural Tourism Demonstration Area. The transfer station has many free amusement facilities, and the kids had a lot of fun. There are also vineyards planted all over the mountains along the way. After strolling around the check-in spots, we took Line 4 (spaceship cabin) straight to Chongqing's highest Ferris wheel. For 17.99 yuan, you can also ride it as much as you want for 2 days. Surprisingly, the cabins are air-conditioned, and there are special mahjong cabins, karaoke cabins, chess cabins, etc., which are simply amazing. After eating the free-range chicken in the scenic area for lunch, we took the cableway down the mountain and took the kids to play on the amusement rides. Aside from the slightly longer queues, everything else is as people-friendly as the original 'Foreigners' Street', feeling like the price level from over a decade ago. Before heading home in the evening, of course, you have to queue up to buy 1 yuan bread to be fully satisfied, haha. Oh, and the 6 yuan large round box of Telunsu cakes are so delicious, I directly packed 10 to take home.
