When traveling to Chongqing, you must not miss the journey through time to see the red walls and green tiles! In the bustling foggy city, besides the noisy Hongyadong, you might as well look for a piece of pure land and tranquility, that is Hongen Temple in Chongqing. Walking into Hong'en Temple is like embarking on a journey of dialogue with time. The red walls and green tiles are antique, and every brick and tile is full of the weight of history. In the sunlight, the glazed tiles sparkle with golden light, as if telling an ancient story. Slow down here, feel the fusion of history and modernity, and listen quietly to the breathing of time. Walking among the red walls and green tiles, it feels like traveling through time and space and having a conversation with the ancients. 📷 Check-in location: 1️⃣ The lawn behind the underground first floor can take a panoramic view of Hongen Pavilion.

It has 7 floors and is 418 meters above sea level. This makes it the highest viewing point in Chongqing.

We choose to enter on a side gate and walk out way up to the temple on the many stairs on the pathway. It was a nice workout. After we visited the main attraction in the park, we wondered around a bit more and than took the most flat path to the entrance. After we exited the park, there is an old style street, just starting from the park entrance. It is similar to Hongyadong. It has many restaurants and at the end there is a hotel. To get to the park you can get public transport or dido/taxi/shared bikes. Don't forget to bring your passport/ID card with you. #explorechongqing #urbanexplorer

Hong'en Temple sits a top a slow inclining hill, the beautiful example of Chinese architecture looks out over sweeping city scenes, with the river on one side and endless high rises and mountains on the other. The surrounding Hong'ensi Parkland is a quiet get away from the busy city, with very little people wondering through the greenery. There are very few tourist spots in China that allow you to feel completely at one with nature whilst being central. There are small stalls for snacks and drinks, but this isn't the normal Chinese destination, with tourist buses and ticketing booths, which is why I think it's impossibly unique. #unforgettableexperiences#historicculture#bestislandtraveltowns#culturalattractions#nationalpark

Hong'en Temple Forest Park is located in Jiangbei District, Chongqing, with a maximum elevation of 418 meters. From the Hong'en Pavilion observation deck at the summit, you can enjoy stunning views of Jiangbei District, Yubei District, Shapingba District, Yuzhong District, and Beibei District. Hong'en Temple Forest Park boasts a vast collection of osmanthus trees, primarily of the four main types: Jin Gui, Yin Gui, Dan Gui, and Si Ji Gui, encompassing over 60 varieties in total. With such a diverse and comprehensive range of osmanthus species, it stands as one of the largest osmanthus gardens in China.

As someone who's overweight and doesn't like to exercise, Chongqing really isn't the ideal city to visit. The mountainous terrain requires constant uphill and downhill walking, with slopes and stairs everywhere. After two days here, I've walked 25,000 steps each day, leaving my calves aching. Before my trip, I did a lot of research online and planned what I thought was a very reasonable itinerary. I never imagined it would be so hard on my legs and feet. Day 1: Laojun Cave (took a taxi directly to the west gate) - Huangjueya Old Street - Sanmao's Former Residence - Huangge Ancient Road - Dunhoupo Old Street - Shangxin Street - Chongqing Opening Port Site Park - Longmenhao - Xiahaoli - Hong'en Temple Park - Hongyadong night view. This day's 25,000 steps left my calves sore. Actually, some places are just for quick photo ops and don't require much exploration. They're mostly commercial streets selling similar things, with similar architectural styles. There are some popular photo spots in Xiahaoli that require waiting in line for at least half an hour, but since I was already there, I patiently waited for my turn to take pictures.

Looking up in the library, I bumped into clusters of plum blossoms outside the window. It's like I've traveled through time to a Japanese manga scene——✨ ▫️「Scene Loading」 Library blinds + blooming plum petals = automatically generated manga filter Sunlight slants across the bookshelves The moment the light particles dance on the hair tips 📸 the shutter captures spring for me ▫️「JK's Heartthrob Formula」 Knitwear with a school collar + pleated skirt + knee socks = Academy style buff Short, messy bangs Fingertips just touching the pages of a book, and around the corner, a manga scene unfolds🍃 ▫️「Miniature Shooting Theater」 ❶Use plum blossoms as a natural background. Looking at the plum blossoms through your profile is amazing! ❷Pretend to be choosing a book from the bookshelf and capture the moment you look back at the camera. ▫️「Color Adjustment Tips」 Lower the color temperature + slight overexposure = instantly get a clear film feel Adjust the HSL, shifting green towards cyan, and instantly get that Japanese manga vibe! A quiet spring afternoon in the library Even the breath is tinged with the scent of ink and plum blossoms Shh——📖 The Japanese manga schoolgirl experience card is now active (Tip: Please be quiet while shooting)

Where to go bird watching in autumn❓Chongqing Hongen Temple In late autumn, it is the time when migratory birds in the northern hemisphere migrate south. Chongqing Hongen Temple is a stopover for migrating birds. Every autumn, you can see a large number of forest birds here🐦 Hongen Temple is located in Jiangbei District, Chongqing. As the most suitable forest park for bird watching in the city center, it is tailor-made for bird lovers who don’t want to travel far. Tips: 👉🏻 There are many gates in Hongen Temple Forest Park. It is recommended to enter from the East Gate early to avoid climbing many slopes; if you like hiking, you can enter from the West Gate😏 👉🏻Self-driving navigation Hongen Temple East Gate Parking Lot🅿️, take public transportation to Hongen Temple Park Station Tips for bird watching: 👀Pond next to the library: Enter from the East Gate, go up the steps and walk south along the main road. There is a pond on the right. There will be many birds around the pond, and there are also some little grebes in the pond. 👀Devil's Forest: After coming out of the pond, continue to follow the signs towards Hong'en Pavilion on the top of the mountain. There is a small path down on the right, which leads to the Devil's Forest. The name reminds me of the Angel's Forest of Sichuan University. The Devil and Angel echo each other from a distance, but they are both happy resting places for birds during the migratory season. Here I saw the Brown-bellied Flycatcher. There are many trees in the forest🌲🌲🌲, and the sunlight cannot penetrate in, so the light for bird watching is not very good. Of course, this does not prevent the birds and bird lovers from meeting here. 👀The top platform: There are some trees as high as the platform. Many people set up tripods here to take pictures of birds. I stayed there for a while but didn’t see anything. 👀Walking down the mountain along the road, there are several mulberry trees🌳, which attract many red-headed, willow warblers, and minnows to eat their fruits🌾. Many people also wait here for the long-tailed minnows to stop here during the migration season. I saw waves of red and yellow minnows flying over the treetops. 👀Continue walking down the mountain towards the East Second Gate. You can see other birds on the roadside at any time. It all depends on your bird luck.🐥

Hongen Temple, located in Jiangbei District, Chongqing, is a long-established and magnificent Buddhist temple. I was fortunate to visit and had a deep experience. I personally recommend the night view🤩 As soon as I entered Hongen Temple, the first thing that caught my eye was the magnificent mountain gate, and the towering stone lions guarded the gate, giving a solemn and solemn feeling. After passing the mountain gate, it is the main building group in the temple, the most eye-catching of which is the Daxiong Hall. The Daxiong Hall is magnificent, and the solemn and solemn statue of Sakyamuni Buddha is enshrined in the hall, which makes people feel awe. In Hongen Temple, I also visited the Tibetan Scripture Building, Bell Tower, Drum Tower and other buildings, and felt the profound Buddhist culture. The incense in the temple is endless, and the devout worship and blessings make me feel a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.
