Come to Chongqing and don't just visit Hongya Cave; the surrounding small towns are also very beautiful!
I recommend Liangping's Bamboo Sea, Shuanggui Countryside, and the experience of intangible cultural heritage; Fengjie's Baidi City, the Summit of the Three Gorges, and the Kuizhou Museum. The return to the Three Gorges～ From Chongqing's main city to Liangping—Fengjie, you can take the high-speed train directly, which is very convenient for travel. Remember to save this three-day and two-night travel guide～

A village in the mountains is truly my "dream village"
Lieshen Village, located deep within the hundred-mile bamboo sea of Liangping. A small village, yet with honors as tall as its bamboos, "National Model Village for Rural Governance", "National Key Village for Rural Tourism", "Beautiful Leisure Village of China"... It's not an undeserved reputation; this place is genuinely beautiful.
While wandering around the village, we suddenly saw a huge crowd that didn't seem like tourists. There was a leader with a loudspeaker introducing the history and current state of the village. It turned out to be village officials from various places coming here to learn and exchange experiences. The leader was the village party secretary of Lieshen Village, and he was beaming with pride.
This village is one of the most beautiful and cleanest I have ever seen. It has superior natural conditions, surrounded by mountains, with lush bamboo forests all around. The residential houses in the village are pretty and tidy, with a delicate wetland park, smooth roads and pathways, spacious parking lots and clean public toilets, green crops and brightly blooming flowers, coffee shops and tea houses... Oh, and I also found a library. I felt very relaxed and comfortable in this place.
I think I will come back to this place again.

I found the hundred-mile bamboo sea from a landscape painting in Liangping~
Here... streams spread across the land, lakes embrace the sky, and the continuous bamboo forests roll out for miles, mingling with the trees that blanket the hills, forming a vast sea of green.
Walking through the bamboo forest path, surrounded by lush greenery, gentle breezes, and the rustling of bamboo leaves, the dappled sunlight through the bamboo casts a serene light and shadow, making one's mood especially tranquil.
If you want to get closer to nature, you can stay at the hundred-mile bamboo sea starry sky camping van base here, watching the sparse moon and stars, listening to the insects and birds, and enjoying the cool breeze and bright moon in the mountains.
🚗 It's about a 2.5-hour drive from the main city, or you can take a high-speed train to Liangping

Chongqing Liangping: Visit and stay in the bamboo forest
It's been a long time since I last visited Chongqing Liangping, and I suddenly found it to be more beautiful than ever. This time, we toured the Hundred-Mile Bamboo Sea, where the vast bamboo sways with the wind, resembling surging waves, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of bamboo leaves, refreshing to the soul!
Due to the abundance of bamboo, Liangping has a variety of bamboo shoots, which has led to many different ways of cooking them. I'll share some with you next time!
The bamboo sea in summer is cool and comfortable, perfect for escaping the heat. In the bamboo forest, we also found bamboo-made sculptures of longevity immortals, symbolizing long life and robust health.
Walking along the small paths in the bamboo forest, the winding dinner party is full of the joy of exploration.
At night, we stayed at the Starry Sky Camping Base, which consists of container rooms, lawns, flower seas, and tents. It's poetic and full of the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds, looking forward to waking up to a green world tomorrow morning!

The village in the mountains, my 'dream lover's village'
Lieshen Village, located deep within the Liangping Bamboo Sea that spans a hundred miles. A tiny village, yet it holds numerous honors: 'National Model Village for Rural Governance', 'National Key Village for Rural Tourism', 'Beautiful Leisure Village of China'... It's not an undeserved reputation; this place is truly beautiful.
As we were strolling through the village, we suddenly saw a large crowd of people who did not seem like tourists. A leader with a loudspeaker was introducing the history and current state of the village. It turned out that these were village officials from various places, here to learn and exchange experiences. The leader was the village secretary of Lieshen Village, and he was beaming with pride.
This village is one of the most beautiful and cleanest I have ever seen. It has superior natural conditions, surrounded by mountains, with lush bamboo forests all around. The residential houses in the village are pretty and tidy, with a delicate wetland park, smooth roads and walkways, spacious parking lots and clean public toilets, green crops and brightly blooming flowers, coffee shops and milk tea stores... Oh, and I also found a library. In this place, I felt incredibly relaxed and comfortable.
I think I will come back to this place.
