Summer Water Play Chongqing Jindaoxia 2024 Stream Descent One-Day Tour Guide
Recommendation Index: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
🌞One-Day Tour Route: Morning/Afternoon Jindaoxia (Stream Descent) —— Evening Pianyan Ancient Town (You can see people playing mahjong in the water under the internet-famous bridge, and stroll around the ancient town for about 1 hour)
💕Essential Items: A set of clean clothes and shoes for changing, non-slip shoes (must have heels, no hole shoes), towel, waterproof phone bag (for taking photos midway), sunscreen
Tips:
1️⃣ Do not wear clothes that get heavy when wet (to avoid being scratched by stones, you can wear long pants and long sleeves)
2️⃣ It is best to call a day in advance to check if a reservation is needed and if it is open on the day (the project may be stopped due to weather conditions)
3️⃣ Jindaoxia Stream Descent is divided into: Stream Descent Parent-Child Line and Stream Descent Adult Line. The stream descent includes tickets, stream descent, and transfer bus.
😁Personal Experience: Exciting! I am a non-swimmer! It was also the third day of my period (it's possible, but not recommended, and there are no tampons sold in the nearby town and scenic area, if you haven't prepared in advance, don't bring sanitary pads, don't ask me why😭, panty liners are fine)!
⚠️ If you can't swim, make sure someone accompanies you! A good experience! Be sure to pay attention to safety, know your limits, touch the stones more, and test the stones under your feet, otherwise, it's easy to fall!
🏠 The scenic area is divided into South Gate and North Gate, both require a walk to the starting point of the stream descent
🌟 Enter from the South Gate, all the way uphill, the distance will be relatively shorter
🌟 Enter from the North Gate, all the way downhill, the scenery along the way is also very beautiful, about 40 minutes
💕 When descending the stream, apart from your phone, it's best not to bring anything else, as it's easy to lose
So, what should you do with your stuff?
1️⃣ Drive to the South Gate Distribution Center, spend 10 yuan (per bag, you will be given a large transparent bag, do not put valuables) and the staff will transfer it to the South Gate. Take the transfer bus (choose which gate's bus) and walk to the starting point;
2️⃣ Drive to the North Gate of the scenic area, bring your stuff to the starting point of the stream descent, and then spend 10 yuan to transfer to the shower point after the stream descent ends. The downside is: you need to carry your luggage all the time, and after the stream descent, take a transfer bus for twenty to thirty minutes to the North Gate!
3️⃣ Bring your luggage and enter from the South Gate, there are storage lockers at the end point (20 yuan per locker) and then walk to the starting point of the stream descent,
⚠️ Note:
1️⃣ Be sure to replenish your energy before the stream descent, as the whole journey including walking takes 4 to 5 hours, which is very exhausting; you can go ashore in the middle of the stream descent, everyone must know their limits, some pools are quite deep, you can go ashore in the middle!
2️⃣ The stream descent departs in batches, there may be congestion on the way (many people are afraid to go down the pools, and many places are quite narrow);
3️⃣ At the starting point, try to stand close to the water entrance to avoid congestion!
4️⃣ At the starting point of the stream descent, staff will distribute knee pads, arm pads, life jackets, gloves, helmets, etc. (gloves and knee pads are free, no need to bring your own, 😭 I bought gloves myself 🧤 no need), be sure to wear them correctly!! Safety is the first priority!
5️⃣ The end of the stream descent is not far from the shower place, about ten minutes' walk, girls may need to queue for the shower!
6️⃣ Finally, queue up to take the transfer bus to the parking lot
