Fengjie County Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

Ink and wash Chongqing, observing the beauty of Qutang Gorge is not only from the top of the Three Gorges

🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴 📍Viewing platform: Baiyan Mountain Viewing Platform (Sunrise) 3 viewing platforms 📍Navigation: Baiyan Mountain Photography House 👉Route: Walk in from the parking lot, viewing guide sign. You can walk a loop, after entering from this entrance, walk to the 1.2.3 viewing platforms, each viewing platform needs to be walked back and forth. The 2nd viewing platform is the most beautiful for taking pictures, the 1st viewing platform is closest to Qutang Gorge, and the 3rd viewing platform is the highest. You can overlook Qutang Gorge, and the mountain peak opposite is the top of the Three Gorges. After the 3rd viewing platform is finished, the road to the left can reach City Viewing Platform, which requires going up and down the mountain, and can walk to Baiyan Mountain Photography House, which is a loop, without going back the same way. The whole journey is slowly played and photographed, usually more than 2 hours. ‼️No tickets, please be sure to take away the garbage. Regular Fengjie tour: Baidi City and Qutang Gorge, you can walk from Baidi City to the top of the Three Gorges, 10km estimated 5 hours, the route is clear, just walk along the plank road. But note that the ferry time is every half an hour, 5 minutes can be reached. Deep-sea boat: 10:30, 12:30, 14:30, only three shifts. The ticket price is 50. Baidi City tickets, the off-season starts from 11.1, online purchase 55, on-site 60 (peak season 100), half price for children 30, including ferry costs. To see monkeys is at the Chijia Building Battery and the section that goes into the mountains. If you travel by high-speed rail, pay attention to the high-speed rail station to the top of the Three Gorges, it seems that you should go at 10:00 in the morning and return at 15:00 in the afternoon. Pay attention‼️ 🍂Let's put a 'monkey cries on both banks are endless', a long time ago, both banks were monkey cries, now it is Chijia single bank macaque cries. Maybe 20 years ago, the farmland of Chijia and Baiyan was flooded by river water, and the monkeys ran away without food, and there were no more monkey cries. 16 years ago, the Baidi City Scenic Area was built and Sichuan macaques were introduced for open breeding, artificially fed corn. They multiplied and produced two monkey kings, each occupying the mountain up and down, always living in Chijia. They can't cross the wide Qutang Gorge, so now it's just a single-sided macaque cry. Because of artificial feeding, they don't worry about food and drink, so they are not as fierce as the monkeys on Emei Mountain. High-speed rail🚄+ taxi🚖 is very convenient, do not choose carpooling to be asked to increase the price. Baidi City to Fengjie High-speed Rail Station is about 40. Baiyan Mountain Photography House, it is more convenient to go by self-driving. ‼️Note‼️ The Three Gorges red leaves🍂 will not start to turn red until the end of November 2023, and it will be even better in December! There is a hiking festival, you can pay attention to it.

Century Cruise, New Century Cruise

This time, I took the Century Cruise through the Three Gorges, with the theme of 'Time Travel, Light and Shadow Retrospect', and revisited many classic movies in the cruise's cinema. That day, just after watching 'Thirty Thousand Miles in Chang'an', I arrived at Baidi City the next morning, and 'set off early from Baidi City' with Li Bai. 'In the morning, I bid farewell to Baidi City among the colorful clouds, and I returned to Jiangling a thousand miles away in a day. The ape's cries on both banks could not stop, and the light boat had already passed through thousands of mountains.' These scenes depicted in the movie are being performed in front of my eyes, which is both a pilgrimage to the movie scenes and a tribute to the poet Li Bai. During the 'Anshi Rebellion', Li Bai was sentenced to exile in Yelang (now eastern Guizhou) because of his involvement in the case of Prince Yong Li Lin. When he arrived at Baidi City, he suddenly received the amnesty order from Emperor Suzong. The overjoyed Li Bai suddenly felt like a bird that had broken out of its cage. The suffocating hardships and the unjust accusations that were hard to wash away suddenly disappeared. He immediately got up and took a boat from Baidi City to Jiangling. On the way, he wrote this poem, expressing his joy and exhilaration at the time. After passing Baidi City, the Qutang Gorge is ahead, and the real 'Three Gorges' journey begins here. Baidi City is located in Baidi Town, Fengjie County, Chongqing City, at the northern bank of the Yangtze River at the mouth of the Qutang Gorge, on Baidi Mountain. Baidi City is located at the western entrance of Kui Gate, using the mountainous and watery terrain of Kui Gate to build a city. It is a typical city site of the Gorge River City type. And Kui Gate is the mouth of the Qutang Gorge, the spectacular and dangerous gorge mouth is like a 'thousand men guarding the pass, ten thousand men cannot open' pass. As the boat slowly enters, it's like entering a parallel world. Although the cheers of tourists are all around, I can't hear anything and am immersed in my own world. Ten minutes later, the boat begins to sail out of the gorge, and the open river surface is refreshing and joyful. It's rare to have such a journey that allows me to fully appreciate the danger, strangeness, beauty, and beauty of the Three Gorges. At this moment, I seem to have suddenly increased the heroic ambition of Li Bai when he was inspired by poetry as he traveled down the river from Baidi City. The theme activities of the cruise in the past were also very exciting, such as the 628 Food Cruise, the September Music Season... This is the last theme activity of this year. It lasts for two months, and if you miss it, you will have to wait until next year. I look forward to Century Cruise having more innovation and imagination, attracting more young people to participate, such as Love Season, Wedding Season, and also creating a Parent-Child Season for family travel... Century Cruise, New Century Cruise!

The light boat has passed through countless mountains

Ancient Shu had four wonders, known as 'Kuimen the most majestic, Jianmen the most perilous, Emei the most beautiful, and Qingcheng the most secluded'. 1️⃣ Baidicheng Recommendation rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Suggested visiting time: More than 1 day Ticket: 🎫100 yuan Location: 📌 Baidicheng Scenic Area on the north bank of the Yangtze River at the mouth of Qutang Gorge Baidicheng has thousands of steps, two-thirds of which are submerged underwater, with only three hundred steps remaining. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, this city was built. Because a well in the city often emitted white vapors, resembling a white dragon, it was given its current name. 💥 Baidicheng is well-known for the story of Liu Bei entrusting his son to others, a must-visit for fans of the Three Kingdoms. Baidicheng is well-preserved, and besides the statues of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and others, there are also many precious inscriptions and steles from literati of various dynasties. - 2️⃣ Kuizhou Museum Recommendation rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Visiting time: 2-3 hours A national second-level museum, 4A tourist attraction. In addition to Tang tri-colored ceramic figures and Ming and Qing Buddha statues unearthed locally, the exhibition hall uses a large number of photos to recreate the old Fengjie city (the old city of Fengjie permanently disappeared due to the rising waters of the Three Gorges Dam), covering a time span from the late Qing Dynasty to the beginning of this century. Precious photos of the first person from Chongqing Nankai Wharf, Li Delue, and his wife (who also often traveled to Fengjie by boat on the Yangtze River) are also on display here. - 3⃣️ Kuimen Chijialou (Watching the river and teasing monkeys 🐒) Recommendation rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Visiting time: 1 hour ⚠️Highly recommended⚠️ You'll regret it if you don't go! A ten yuan RMB photo spot, an immersive experience of Li Bai's 'Early Departure from Baidicheng' with 'the endless cries of monkeys on both banks'. Many notes indicate that the best position to view Qutang Gorge is from Baidicheng (which I disagree with ❌, because you can't see the front of Kuimen from the top of Baidicheng and can't feel the majesty of Kuimen). The best angle should be from Chijialou at the mouth of the gorge. Chijialou has a large number of wild macaques 🐒 (there were about 20 when I visited), and most of them are very civilized and friendly. There is also feed for sale at 5 yuan 💰 per pack. You can enjoy teasing the monkeys and admiring the river without delay. - 4⃣️ Summit of the Three Gorges Recommendation rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Visiting time: 4 hours The best position to overlook Qutang Gorge. Friends who do not drive need to take a shuttle bus from Fengjie High-speed Railway Station to get there (9:00-9:30-10:00), and the return trip also requires a shuttle bus. Suitable for friends who like to climb high and look far, ⚠️those with acrophobia⚠️ choose carefully. The Summit of the Three Gorges and Baidicheng are far from the new county city of Fengjie. If you want to return on the same day, the time will be very tight, and you will need to make a choice. - Suggested route: Kuizhou Museum—Qutang Gorge Scenic Area (Baidicheng and Chijialou are part of the same scenic area) Visit Baidicheng—Visit Chijialou—Summit of the Three Gorges

Baidicheng (Part 1)

Baidicheng is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River at the entrance of Qutang Gorge in Fengjie County, Chongqing, and is a famous tourist destination in the Three Gorges. Originally named Ziyang City, it was built by Gongsun Shu, who ruled over the Shu region at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. Baidicheng is backed by mountains on one side and surrounded by water on three sides, with the high gorge behind and the Yangtze River in front, presenting a majestic and spectacular sight. It is a long-standing and renowned attraction on the Three Gorges tourist route. The verse by Li Bai, 'Bidding farewell to the Emperor of Baidi amid colorful clouds, I return to Jiangling from a thousand miles away in just one day. The ceaseless cries of monkeys on both banks, as my light boat has already passed through countless mountains,' is widely known and cherished.

Bamboo Branch Garden

The Bamboo Branch Garden is located on the north side of Baidi City and was newly built in recent years. The garden is filled with lush bamboo trees and contains a statue of Liu Yuxi, commemorating this Middle Tang Dynasty poet who once served as the governor of Kuizhou. Liu Yuxi, having participated in Wang Shuwen's political reform movement, suffered repeated demotions and successively held the positions of governor of Lianzhou, deputy governor of Langzhou, and governor of Kuizhou, being exiled to remote provinces for a long time. He composed the widely acclaimed 'Bamboo Branch Words' during his time in Kuizhou, from which the name of the Bamboo Branch Garden is derived.

To escape the summer heat, one must always make a trip to the Yangtze River Gorges

To escape the summer heat, one must always make a trip to the Yangtze River Gorges, right? The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River span across the provinces and cities of Chongqing and Hubei, starting from Baidicheng in Fengjie County, Chongqing, to Nanjinguan in Yichang, Hubei. From west to east, they are Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge, and Xiling Gorge, with a total length of 193 kilometers. It is one of the natural wonders of China and a treasure of Chinese civilization. The scenery of green mountains and beautiful waters is enchanting and makes one linger. 🚢Transportation: The most common and classic way to tour the Three Gorges is by taking a cruise. You can sail downstream from Chongqing or upstream from Yichang, enjoying the magnificent scenery of the Three Gorges along the way. 👉Itinerary: 4 days and 3 nights 1. Board the cruise in Chongqing and set sail 2. Dock at Fengdu Pier—Visit Fengdu Ghost City/Fengdu Shuanggui Mountain/Fengdu Xueyu Cave 3.

Baidicheng

Baidicheng is actually an island, such a unique location. Bidding farewell to Baidicheng amidst the colorful clouds, one can return to Jiangling from a thousand miles away in just one day. Yes, we have arrived at the Baidicheng mentioned in Li Bai's poem. Gongsun Shu proclaimed himself emperor here, and Liu Bei entrusted his son to others here. Located at the mouth of the Qutang Gorge, it overlooks the mountains and the great river. What I didn't expect was that Baidicheng is actually an island in the middle of the river. The terrain is superior, the scenery is beautiful, strolling through Baidicheng, the dense forests are lush and serene, deeply experiencing what is meant by 'outstanding people and a spirited place'. Not to mention Li Bai, I took a tour and couldn't help but want to write a poem, but unfortunately, I'm not good with words. Baidicheng is a half-hour drive from the center of Fengjie County, with an entrance fee of 60 RMB per person. Flying a drone requires reporting to the police office at the entrance of the scenic area. After crossing the river on a footbridge, you reach the island where Baidicheng is located, and continue walking towards the highest point of the island. You will pass through the Bamboo Garden, which is filled with poems and verses. Poets from different dynasties such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, and Lu You have left their masterpieces in Baidicheng, hence it is also known as 'Poetry City'. The highest point of the island is the Baidi Temple. Upon entering, you can see the scene of Liu Bei entrusting his son depicted with sculptures, and further inside is the core scenic area with buildings in the style of traditional Chinese courtyards. Displayed are cultural relics from various dynasties unearthed at different times, including stone steles, sculptures, pottery, etc. One must-see is the 'Phoenix Stele', the treasure of Baidicheng. The exquisite carving tells the history. After visiting the Baidi Temple, walking down the road, you can reach the 'Ten Yuan Renminbi Viewing Platform', where you can see the Kui Gate, which is the entrance to the Qutang Gorge. Ships carrying goods shuttle back and forth, located on the Yangtze River waterway fortress. The clouds rise along the mountains in various shapes. Compared to the magnificence of the Wushan Mountains, Fengjie has more elegance. Such a place with breathtaking scenery and a profound historical background is really worth a visit!

Baidi City in Fengjie

Just like my hometown Yunyang, the old county town of Fengjie has been destroyed and submerged under the Yangtze River. Yidou Gate and Yong'an Palace have been destroyed, only the higher-lying Baidi City has survived. Baidi City was originally on a peninsula in the river, and one had to climb a mountain road to reach it. Now the land has been submerged by the river water, turning it into an isolated island. The Qing Dynasty's colorful mountain gate is the essence of Baidi City, and it is inscribed by a great calligrapher. Inside there are sculptures commemorating Liu Bei and a stele forest from a more recent era, which can be quickly toured. From the island, one can gaze upon the Kui Gate and the peaks of the Three Gorges; what is majestic is no longer the mountains, but the vast expanse of river water. The water is deep when it's green, and broad when it's blue; this 170-meter-deep stretch of water is the starting point of the Three Gorges. I spent 50 yuan on a taxi back to Kui Gate Square, and ate Gega lamb and fatty chicken intestines there. I saw wine infused with golden cherries, a kind of sweet fruit. The taxi driver said that they all love to swim in the river, even in winter.

Qutang Gorge

Qutang Gorge, also known as Kui Gorge, was historically referred to as Guangxi Gorge, Ba Gorge, Xiling Gorge, among others, and is the first of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Starting from the Baidi City in Fengjie to the east at Daxi Town in Wushan, it boasts the richest array of scenic spots and historical sites. The gorge is steep and narrow, with peaks on both sides almost touching, sheer cliffs and ancient trees draped with old vines, resembling a high-hanging embroidered curtain. In 2008, after the water level of the Three Gorges Dam was raised to an elevation of 175 meters, Qutang Gorge became a high gorge and a flat lake, with the perilous peaks and rugged rocks on both banks remaining unchanged. It presents a splendid and colorful vista with mountains covered in red leaves, as well as the serene and magnificent beauty of the rippling blue water and vast misty waves.

A Tour of Qutang Gorge Scenic Area: A Perfect Fusion of Nature and Culture

Qutang Gorge Scenic Area, located in Fengjie County, Chongqing City, is a tourist attraction that combines natural scenery and cultural landscapes. I was fortunate to visit this time, and I gained a lot and felt deeply. As soon as you enter the scenic area, the first thing that catches your eye is the majestic Qutang Gorge. The cliffs on both sides of the gorge are steep, the river is surging, like a giant dragon rushing past. Standing on the viewing platform, looking at the mountains on both sides of the canyon, the clouds and mist are lingering, mysterious and unpredictable, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland. Walking along the mountain road, we came to the White Emperor City. This ancient city with a long history has witnessed the great changes in the Three Gorges area. Walking in the city, the simple architecture and mottled city walls all reveal a sense of history. Looking far away on the city wall, the magnificent scenery of Qutang Gorge is in sight, which is refreshing. In addition to natural scenery and cultural landscapes, Qutang Gorge Scenic Area also combines poetry and war. Many literati in history have left poems here, praising the magnificent scenery of the Three Gorges. At the same time, it was also an important battlefield in ancient wars, leaving many heroic deeds. During the tour, we seem to be able to feel the thickness of history and the precipitation of culture. This tour of Qutang Gorge Scenic Area made me deeply realize the magic and magnificence of nature. At the same time, it also allowed me to appreciate the long history and cultural spirit of the Chinese nation. In the future, I will cherish nature more, protect the environment, inherit and promote the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation.

The White Emperor Temple (Part 2)

The White Emperor Temple contains Ming and Qing dynasty structures such as the Mingliang Hall, the Wuhou Shrine, and the Guanxing Pavilion. The Mingliang Hall, built in the twelfth year of the Jiajing era (1533), is the main building of the temple, housing statues of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. The Wuhou Shrine enshrines the images of Zhuge Liang and his descendants for three generations. In front of the shrine is the Guanxing Pavilion. On both sides of the Mingliang Hall and the Wuhou Shrine are famous steles from various dynasties. In August of the second year of Zhangwu (222), Liu Bei was defeated by Eastern Wu at the Battle of Yiling and retreated beyond the Kui Gate. From then on, Liu Bei fell ill and never recovered, entrusting his young son to Zhuge Liang at Yong'an Palace in Yong'an City (present-day Kuizhou City in Fengjie County, Chongqing) near Baidi City.

Chongqing Fengjie| Baidi City turns out to be an island in the river

| Baidi City turns out to be an island in the river. 🌱Before I came, I thought Baidi City was a city in the form of a palace. After coming, I found out that it is actually a Baidi Temple on an island, but it has a rich history and cultural relics. 👉🏻In order to better understand these cultural histories, it is recommended to find a tour guide or electronic tour guide, and browsing these points will make it clearer to know the historical meaning behind. ✨Check-in points include these: 1️⃣Check in at the viewing platform to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Kuimen, remember to bring a 10 yuan RMB, otherwise you won't be able to take a photo when the time comes! 2️⃣In the stele forest area, you can enjoy the poems and inscriptions left by literati and poets 3️⃣In the evening, there is a water show 'Return to the Three Gorges', don't miss it if time permits! ·— 📍Address: Kuimen Qutang Gorge Scenic Area, Fengjie County, Chongqing City 🕙Business hours: 08:30-17:30 🎫Ticket: Peak season 100RMB/person   Off-season 60RMB/person 🚕Traffic strategy ①Public transportation: Take the high-speed rail to 'Fengjie Station', and then take the tourist line to get off at Baidi City Scenic Area ②Self-driving directly navigates to the ticket office of Baidi City Scenic Area — 🐯Follow Xiao Ben, a boy running on the road of travel, recording his own story with the camera!

At the foot of the Baidi Temple, it is very far-sighted. The river is stable and the mountain is stable. The winds in the Qutang Gorge are turbulent, and the light and shadow are infinite, and the majestic scene is unobstructed. A few leaf boats, slowly on the river surface, add a modern atmosphere to this millennium relic. The distant scene is connected with the reflection in the water to create a dreamy scene. The night falls, the lights of the hustle ignited in the city, and the humming sounds of the city disappeared one after another, and they returned to calm again. The beautiful lights, extending along the quiet wind and rain corridor, until the Baidi Mountain, the white Emperor City with golden light, shows a noble temperament. In the night, walking along the riverside path, standing on the land and looking at Baidi City, I feel that it is completely different from the feeling of being in it. When the sun rises again, new visitors will be ushered in here, and the old footprints will gradually disappear into the wind passing by. The new sunshine, above the river, is struggling to shine. Throw the golden bustling dreams to the flowing waters of the Yangtze River and light up the Baidi City that has been passed down through the ages.
