While tourists are checking in at Wangxiangtai Waterfall, seasoned explorers have already turned to another treasure—the Land Rock. This massive Danxia cliff, as if painted with natural pigments, becomes even more vibrant under the autumn sunlight. It is Simian Mountain’s most underrated hidden spot and a secret paradise for photographers. ​​"Theme Route: Geological Art Appreciation Line"​​ ​Theme:​​ Appreciate the naturally formed colors and patterns of the Danxia landform and capture geological art masterpieces. Route:​​ Take the sightseeing bus from the scenic area entrance to the Land Rock stop → Walk slowly along the plank road, admiring the cliff from different angles and distances → Focus on finding natural patterns on the cliff that resemble people or animals → Create your shots at the best photo spots → After the visit, take the bus to the next attraction. ​​"Highlight Recommendation: Value Proposition Style"​​ ​​“Very few people! This cliff, comparable to Zhangye Danxia’s colorful cliffs, can be seen right here in Chongqing!” “Worth the ticket price! Just the details of Land Rock are enough to shoot all afternoon, the light and shadow changes are stunning!”​​ There are no crowded tourists here, so you can quietly search, discover, compose, and enjoy the joy of creation. ​​"📸 Camera Position List: Shoot National Geographic-Level Masterpieces"​​ ✅ ​Panoramic Position:​​ Use a wide-angle lens at the viewing platform to capture the full view of Land Rock, showcasing its grandeur as a “natural mural.” ✅ ​Detail Close-up Position:​​ Use a telephoto lens to zoom in on the most colorful and uniquely textured parts of the cliff; the abstract images are highly artistic. ✅ ​Human Element Position:​​ Have a companion stand at an appropriate spot on the plank road with the cliff as the background, using human scale to highlight the magnificence of nature. ✅ ​Light and Shadow Waiting Position:​​ In the afternoon, when sunlight slants on the cliff, colors and three-dimensionality are strongest—this is the golden time for shooting. ​​"In-Depth Experience: Searching for 'Abstract Paintings' on the Cliff"​​ I spent a long time quietly standing on the plank road, gazing at this huge red cliff. At first, it was just a spectacular red, but when you calm down, you’ll find countless flowing color bands, like the spontaneous brushstrokes of an abstract master. I tried to identify those patterns: there’s a galloping horse here, and there’s a pensive old man there... The joy of discovery is far more interesting than simply taking a check-in photo. ​​"Practical Information: ✍🏻 Useful TIPS"​​ ✍🏻 ​Best Time:​​ After rain when the sky clears, the cliff colors are most saturated and bright. The angle of autumn afternoon sunlight is ideal for shooting. ✍🏻 ​Equipment:​​ Both wide-angle and telephoto lenses are essential. A polarizing filter (CPL) can eliminate reflections and make colors stand out more. ✍🏻 ​Safety:​​ The plank road is wide and safe, but do not climb over the guardrails or get close to the cliff edge. ✍🏻 ​Combined Visit:​​ Land Rock is not far from Wangxiangtai Waterfall and can be arranged for a joint visit. ​​"Food and Accommodation: Scene-Based Recommendations"​​ When visiting Simian Mountain, it is recommended to stay in hotels or lodges within the scenic area for convenient early morning and evening light shooting. The mountain’s cured bacon, spring water tofu pudding, and various bamboo shoots are all delicious and must-try. This hidden geological art gallery awaits your lens to interpret it.

While Chongqing's main city still carries the lingering heat of late summer, Simian Mountain, just a 1.5-hour drive from downtown, is already showing the deep autumn scenery of colorful forests. Compared to the well-known Wulong, I prefer the original and tranquil nature of this low-key peak. Reverse travel is truly awesome! ​​"Itinerary plan: 2 days 1 night leisure oxygen-absorbing route"​​ Day 1: Depart from Chongqing in the morning, arrive at Simian Mountain Town by noon; in the afternoon, visit the core attractions "Wangxiangtai Waterfall" and "Tudi Rock Paintings" to experience the grandeur of Asia’s top waterfall and the beauty of Danxia landforms. Day 2: Hike around Honghai Lake in the morning to enjoy the peaceful lake and mountain scenery; in the afternoon, explore lesser-known spots like Pearl Lake before returning. The itinerary is relaxed and suitable for family trips. ​​"Highlights: Value proposition style"​​ "Very few people! This forest oxygen bar just 1.5 hours from Chongqing rivals the autumn colors of Western Sichuan!" "Great value! The ticket is valid for two days, so you can fully enjoy waterfalls, lakes, and colorful forests all at once!" Here, there are no crowded lines, only fresh air, stunning waterfalls, and peaceful autumn mountain forests. ​​"Check-in guide: Timeline style photo tips"​​ 9:00-11:00 AM: Visit Wangxiangtai Waterfall, when sunlight illuminates the entire waterfall and you might see a rainbow. 11:00 AM-2:00 PM: Explore the Tudi Rock Paintings area, where the rock colors are most vivid under direct sunlight. 3:00-5:00 PM: Row a boat or hike around Honghai Lake, where the lake surface sparkles under the sunset and the autumn colors are gentle. ​​"In-depth experience: The shock beneath the waterfall"​​ Standing at the base of Wangxiangtai Waterfall, the 158-meter drop roars as water plunges into the pool, sending mist that cools your face. Surrounded by colorful autumn forests, at that moment, your sight, hearing, and touch are deeply moved by nature’s power, instantly washing away the city’s noise. ​​"Practical information: ✍🏻 Handy tips"​​ ✍🏻 Transportation: Self-driving is recommended; navigate to "Simian Mountain Scenic Area." Sightseeing buses are required inside the park. ✍🏻 Tickets: Peak season tickets are valid for two consecutive days; please keep them safe. ✍🏻 Accommodation: There are many hotels and guesthouses inside and outside the scenic area; staying inside is recommended for convenience. ✍🏻 Food: Be sure to try the local spring water tofu pudding, cured bacon, and bamboo shoots—delicious and fresh. ⚠️ Avoid pitfalls: The scenic area is large and attractions are scattered, so wear comfortable walking shoes; autumn is rainy, remember to bring an umbrella. This weekend, escape the city’s hustle and bustle and come to Simian Mountain to enjoy a holiday surrounded by negative oxygen ions and rich autumn colors!

Transportation: ✨ Self-driving 🚗 is recommended, as you can drive into the scenic area. Simianshan Scenic Area is very large, with considerable distances between attractions - ranging from 2-3 kilometers to 7-8 kilometers. Self-driving is more convenient. If you don't drive, you can also choose the shuttle bus between attractions, but you might wait a long time because there aren't enough passengers, as most visitors drive themselves. Travel time from downtown Chongqing to Simianshan Scenic Area is about 1h50min. Admission: ✨ 90 yuan/person, which I think is excellent value. It includes more than a dozen attractions, each with its own unique features, completely worth the price. We did a day trip and visited four attractions. If you have time, you can stay overnight ✨ Must-Visit Areas ✨ 🌟Must-See Attractions: ✨ 👉Qingxigou Reservoir: A national water conservancy scenic area with amazing natural ecology, beautiful mountains and clear waters, and pleasant scenery 🌳 Here you can experience the tranquility and beauty of nature, as if stepping into a landscape painting. 👉Workers' Memorial Pavilion: Inside the pavilion stands a memorial monument to the workers, recording the arduous history of building the Qingxigou Reservoir, allowing visitors to feel the fighting spirit of Chinese people in building a beautiful homeland 💪 👉Yinyang Cave: A place full of mystery.

🌟Highlights: The first snow falls across the sky and earth, and the mountains and rivers are transformed into a new look. As the New Year approaches, Simian Mountain also welcomes its first snow. The scenic area is covered in silver. It’s time for friends who want to enjoy the snow to set off~ The first snow falls lightly and purely, contrasting with the splashing water droplets of Wangxiangtai Waterfall, making it look particularly cool and fresh, yet full of vitality and vigor. The snowflakes lightly perched on the corners of the eaves, covering the black tiles of Huilongzhuang with a layer of white gauze. On the white walls, the snowflakes piled up layer by layer, gently wrapping the wall. If the pine and cypress ask each other in the cold winter, a red flower will bloom in the snow. The bright red rose blooms proudly in this world clad in silver. Walk closer to it, bend down and sniff it. The faint floral fragrance mixed with the freshness of snowflakes will make your heart feel refreshed. 📝Note tips: While enjoying the snow scenery, you must also pay attention to safety when traveling on snowy days. 1. Anti-slip: Wear anti-slip shoes with deep texture on the soles and avoid wearing flat shoes without patterns. 2. Prevent falls: lift your feet high when walking and step slowly to reduce the forward friction between the soles of your shoes and the ground, thereby reducing the possibility of falling. 3. Keep warm: Wear thick and warm clothes. Hats, gloves, scarves, etc. are also essential. These clothes not only help keep out the cold, but also provide a certain cushion when you fall, reducing the risk of injury. 4. Keep a safe distance between vehicles: If you are driving, be sure to keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front to prevent the braking distance from being prolonged due to slippery road conditions. At the same time, reduce the speed of the vehicle, avoid sudden acceleration or braking, and ensure driving safety. 5. Use lights correctly: When visibility is low on snowy days, the front and rear fog lights should be turned on in time (and turned off in time when visibility is good) so that surrounding vehicles can detect and avoid you in time.
