This comprehensive guide will help you unlock the magical experiences of Chongdugou! 🌿 Must-visit Healing Secret Spots 1. Flower Sea Waterfall: A Romantic Encounter of Waterfall and Blossoms ✅ During the high water season, Feihong Waterfall is magnificent, with splashing water creating faint rainbows. Even more surprising, wildflowers bloom beneath and along the waterfall. Standing among the flowers with the waterfall like a white ribbon behind you, every shot is a forest-themed masterpiece! Few people and beautiful scenery make it easy to capture atmospheric photos~ 2. Green Wilderness Hiking Trail: Immersive Forest Therapy ✅ Walk on moist moss-covered stone paths through dense bamboo groves that block out the sky. The only sounds are birdsong and the tinkling stream, and every breath is filled with high levels of negative oxygen ions. It feels like stepping into a fairy tale, instantly healing your body and mind! 3. Water Steps: A Natural Water Playground This is Chongdugou’s unique water play paradise! Steps built along the mountain are covered by flowing creek water. Barefoot in the cool stream, the summer heat vanishes; have water fights with friends, catch small fish (remember to release them), or sit quietly and daydream, enjoying a rare moment of childhood fun. With green mountains, bamboo, and flowing water as the backdrop, every photo is a hit! 🍜 Wild Mountain Flavors on the Tongue 1. Stone-ground Tofu Workshop: Tender Delicacy Made with Mountain Spring Water In an old workshop by the mountain stream, clear spring water powers a stone mill, producing fresh soy milk. You must try the freshly made hot tofu! Drizzled with secret chili sauce or leek flower sauce, it’s rich in bean fragrance and tender in texture, instantly addictive~ 2. Bamboo Fragrance Water Street: A Culinary Scene at Night ✅ When night falls, Bamboo Fragrance Water Street comes alive! A creek runs through the street, bamboo shadows sway on both sides, and red lanterns reflect in the water, creating a full atmosphere. Here you’ll find Western Henan specialties, from fragrant Luanchuan tofu to authentic farmhouse stir-fries, full of local flavor and guaranteed to satisfy your appetite! 📌 Practical Travel Tips 🏠 Accommodation: There are many unique farmhouses and homestays inside and outside the scenic area, with windows opening to bamboo groves and streams. It’s recommended to stay overnight to experience the mountain’s tranquility and morning birdsong. 🚗 Transportation: Driving with navigation to “Chongdugou Scenic Area” is most convenient; direct buses are also available from Luoyang and Zhengzhou. 👗 Dress Suggestions: Wear non-slip hiking shoes or sandals (for water play), and bring a light jacket as temperatures vary greatly in the mountains morning and night. 📍 Itinerary: Hike and breathe fresh air by day, check in at the waterfall flower sea, play in the water; at night, stroll Bamboo Fragrance Water Street, taste local food, and enjoy a leisurely time. ✅ Chongdugou is not a flashy “internet-famous” spot but a place to quietly feel the spirit of its mountains and waters and the warmth of local life.
