In the scorching main city of Chongqing, air conditioner units spew out blazing heat. Drive west for three hours, and the thermometer’s red line suddenly drops—21℃ breezes pass through the cedar forest, carrying a rush of negative oxygen ions. This is Huangshui in Shizhu, a “natural air-conditioned city” at an altitude of 1,500 meters, where forests cover 85% of the land, and midsummer here softens its sharpness. The Tujia brother’s horn sounds melodiously in the wind, and a bowl of refreshing smashed bowl wine is handed over. The 2025 Tujia Culture Summer Tourism Season is in full swing, offering a summer escape from July to September that will redefine your imagination of summer with mountains, forests, song, dance, and long feasts. Tujia Secret Realm: The 21℃ Cool Revolution While Chongqing’s urban area steams at 40℃, the morning mist still clings to the branches of the primeval forest in Huangshui National Tourism Resort. Located at the mysterious 30° north latitude, this land averaging 1,500 meters in elevation boasts an ecological miracle with 85% forest coverage. Sun Lake and Moon Lake, like two pieces of jade embedded in the mountains, offer air rich in negative oxygen ions, making every breath healing. Huangshui, which just earned the “National Tourism Resort” gold title last year, has transformed through five major upgrade projects: from the thrilling cliff swing at Dafengbao, to the light and shadow journey in Secret Realm Huangshui Fantasy Park; from the shimmering paddleboarding on Sun Lake to stargazing at the vast Milky Way from tents in the Forest Kingdom. Tang Hongfang, Deputy Secretary of the Shizhu County Party Committee, poetically describes: “Eat in Huangshui, live in the mountains, enjoy the Tujia culture—this is our vibrant human world.” Thousands of Events: Igniting Folk Carnival As night falls, the lights of the Tujia Grand Stage instantly ignite. At 7:40 PM sharp, the ten-thousand-people Baishou dance erupts, with visitors stepping to the beat of gongs and drums, dancing the farming rhythms of “Baibai,” “Plowing,” and “Harvesting” with Tujia sons and daughters. This year’s dance lineup adds the Liangyu parade and fire pot performances, turning spectators into protagonists of the Tusi golden age. At the Intangible Cultural Heritage Square, the “Tujia Style Village” never rests: by day, try on colorful Tujia costumes and shoot a series of Tusi micro-landscape photos; by night, gather around the bonfire chewing flowing tofu and watch the heritage theater perform century-old legends. Three major themed events sweep through the entire summer: - Travel with the performances: Qianye Grassland has become a carnival paradise. Zhuang Xinyan’s “Goodbye is Just a Stranger” echoes across the starry meadow, top DJs ignite bonfires with electronic music; the grand fireworks show and mass sing-along at Cloud Flower City paint the mountain breeze with romance. - Travel with the competitions: On Sun Lake, open water swimming race athletes break the waves; at Tengzigou Lake, paddleboard enthusiasts race across the water; the “Village BA” basketball tournament in Fengmu Town ignites passion in the wild mountains. - Shared cultural gatherings: 31 international performance teams take turns on the Tujia Grand Stage, and in 230 cultural interactions, Tujia mountain songs blend wonderfully with African drumbeats. Mountain and Water Tours: Three Summer Escape Routes Shizhu has carefully laid out three summer escape routes, each a key to unlocking the secret realm: - Ecological exploration tour straight to the heart of nature: The firethorn forest at Qianye Grassland glows like fireworks, and the Dafengbao glass suspension bridge soars over a 300-meter-deep valley—this “Asia’s longest cantilever” bridge, 10 meters longer than the Colorado Canyon bridge, tests the courage of every adventurer. - Cultural tour through time and space: At Xituo Ancient Town by the Yangtze River, the bluestone slabs of the Bayan Ancient Road record the prosperous past of “water and land trade and bustling life”; on Wanshou Mountain, the Qin Liangyu military camp ruins tell the legend of a heroic woman, and the “male and female stone pillars” on the 1,490-meter peak are the origin of this land’s name. - Summer leisure tour to enjoy comfort: Moon Lake’s flatboats glide over emerald waters, Youcao River rafting thrills with adrenaline over 30 rapids, and outside the tents of Cloud Flower City, the Milky Way dips low to the edge of the flower sea. Culinary Feast: The Wild Flavors of Tujia’s Nine Bowls A 68-yuan long table banquet ticket is your pass to Tujia delicacies. Shizhu’s water shield fish, selected among “Chongqing’s 360 Flavors,” features tender water shield wrapped around sweet fish slices; the secret Huanglian flower is slightly bitter then sweet, like the resilience of mountain folk; Tusi sour cured meat ferments in clay jars, rich with the flavor of time. Chopsticks never stop, as Tujia girls sing toasts, and the crisp sound of smashed bowl wine and laughter rises and falls among the thousand-person feast. Homestays are the key to local immersion: Huaxi Bieyuan’s carved window frames let in the pine waves, and the terrace of Jiuju Homestay faces the sea of clouds. Awakened by birdsong in the morning, open the window to see squirrels clutching pine cones leaping over treetops—this is what “poetic dwelling” truly means. At dusk, Qianye Grassland’s camping tents bloom like flowers across the vast meadow. Young people dance to electronic beats, elders softly sing along at folk song gatherings. Look up to see the Milky Way pouring down, look down to smell the roasted corn’s aroma on the grill. The Chongqing main city, 130 kilometers away, is still wrapped in heat waves, while here the evening breeze carries the scent of autumn. Shizhu’s summer is the breath of yoga in the Biczka Green Palace Forest, the cool water droplets splashing on your face during Youcao River rafting, the swirling colorful skirts of the Baishou dance. When the tourism season ends, what you take away is not just a Tujia sachet or a few starry photos, but the 21℃ your body remembers—a cool memory strong enough to withstand the entire winter.

Chongqing Shizhu | Farewell to Cambridge No.2 Courtyard 🤠Have you decided where to go for the May Day holiday? Let me introduce you to my little courtyard! 🎈Farewell to Cambridge No.2 Courtyard is named "Me" in Tujia language, meaning "one day." It represents the light and warmth brought by the sun during the day, as well as the tranquility and poetry symbolized by the moon and stars. It tells us that only with a mindful heart can we discover the richness of life. ☀The sun, moon, and stars together witness the flow of time. When the warm sun gradually sets and the moon and stars begin to appear in the night sky, you'll discover they are the poets of the night, telling us one beautiful story after another. 🧐Special Exhibition: Modern Chinese Painting Gallery - Walking Towards Each Other Two artists from the China Artists Association, whose multiple paintings have won awards in national exhibitions and been collected by museums and collectors both domestically and internationally. Our courtyard is fortunate to house and display some of their works, which mainly feature flowers and clothing. These works are filled with a sense of fusion between modern and historical elements, creating breathtaking beauty!!! Welcome to visit/check in and experience. 🥰Here's a beautiful secret to share with you: these two artists are a married couple who have created many excellent works together.

Farewell Cambridge, as a clustered village formed by the overlapping courtyards of homestays, is not only a tribute to the culture of ancient villages, but also a bold exploration of the rural homestay complex. As I wished, I moved into my "home" in the countryside - the courtyard of the Farewell Kangqiao B&B Art Exhibition Hall. Farewell to Cambridge, in Wawu Village, Qiaotou Town, Shizhu County, Chongqing City, about 900 meters above sea level. The summer temperature is 19-25°C, and the climate is cool and pleasant.

Put on your headphones, listen to music, and take a stroll by the lake, it's really nice. The weather isn't great, the sky looks a bit dark in the photos. Mountain and Lake • Lakeside Camp is located in Changsha Village, Qiaotou Town, Shizhu County, about a 20-minute drive from Shizhu County town.

｜I would like to live in a village like this forever! There actually is a rural courtyard that does just that - closes the door to avoid the world, and opens the door to "make noise" in the world. Like my grandmother’s house in my memory. 【Farewell to Cambridge B&B Courtyard】 Last weekend, I packed my bags and left the reinforced concrete behemoth of the modern city. Went to the "village" and stayed there for two days. I never expected that today's [rural courtyard life] is so chill! Lotus pond, moonlight, infinity pool, birds singing, cicadas chirping, sunrise, sea of ​​clouds, Gorgeous sunset, romantic fireworks, gurgling stream, It’s been such a long time since I last saw it, I can’t help but sigh: nature is the ultimate luxury. The eastern Sichuan-style rural courtyard has a different scene at every step. The courtyard is scattered among lotus ponds, swimming pools, and rice fields. The 34 persimmon trees symbolize good luck in everything. There are wind chimes ringing in the wind, gurgling water, and wooden mortise and tenon structures matched with authentic loess walls. It is no exaggeration to say that during the 2 days I stayed here, Close the door and return to your own heart, peace and tranquility; open the door and step into the creek and hear the hustle and bustle of life. It's worth staying here! ! About accommodation: There are 7 independent courtyards in East Sichuan, with a variety of room types to choose from. The daily necessities in the room are carefully considered: I, a mysophobe, never use towels, bath towels or cups in hotels. In addition to the regular supplies, disposable items are provided here. The smell of the toiletries in the bathroom is also very special, with the scent of bergamot, which is not too sweet or pleasing, but a mixture of grassy fragrance, simple and leisurely, just like the courtyard of this homestay standing quietly in the fields. The induction light under the bed is also very friendly. About food: The overall style is new fusion cuisine: courtyard farm dishes, well water hot pot, wild luxury BBQ, and courtyard hot pot. What impressed me most were the "Magic Soup", "Flame Fish", "Golden Soup with Black Truffle and Shrimp" and "Jiangnan Braised Pork with Caviar". Drink half a cup of magical soup before meals, it warms your whole body from mouth, and the braised pork melts in your mouth. I, who am not afraid of getting fat, really like it. We had a BBQ in the yard at night, and there was a mobile KTV and fireworks. Everyone sang together and waved the star lights in their hands. The atmosphere was romantic and happy! ! Baby, come to me if you love to eat! About Play: Can you imagine? One courtyard actually brings together a series of elements including a book bar, baking, coffee, wine, ethnic costumes, travel photography, games and entertainment, outdoor adventures (flying over the canyon, cliff rappelling, paddle boarding... to be updated soon), etc. What I find special are the book bar, primitive earth kiln baking and outdoor activities for the brave - Find Wild Outdoor. I got up in the afternoon and read "Nietzsche's Essays" in the sunshine: Don't stop on the plains, don't climb the mountains, the world looks more beautiful when viewed from halfway up the mountain... ■ Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. While the body is on the road, the brain must also be on the road. This is my understanding of the homestay integrated book bar. You can experience baking in the original earthen kiln. The unique "leopard print skirt" of European bread baked in the earthen kiln is more rugged and wild than the European bread with precise temperature control in the oven. "Miye Outdoor" is an outdoor studio with a full experience, and it is worth a separate article, which will be put in the next issue.

The old and new cities are intertwined, the streets and cities are built on the mountains, the unavoidable hundred steps, the enthusiasm of the residents is very similar to Chongqing, the second largest city in Chongqing is really not a cover! It only takes an hour to take the high-speed rail from Badong to Wanzhou. Last Friday afternoon, I was still eating barbecue on the streets of Badong, and suddenly I wanted to be a special soldier and rushed to Wanzhou overnight. The actual playing time is two days, the specific travel guide is as follows Accommodation: If you need to stay in a hotel with few people, you can choose to stay near Wanda Plaza, which is convenient to go anywhere.

I can only eat after five o'clock (I personally feel that it is average, not as good as the online hype, and the environment is also very messy, and the service attitude is also average) ② Wanxian Noodle Restaurant: There is no double-match option on the menu, it should be a hidden menu, you must eat double-match, I chose pea and miscellaneous noodles + bun noodles, the bun noodles are really delicious, I have eaten better pea and miscellaneous noodles, so I personally feel that it is okay ③ Lao Street Fish Citizen Folk Custom Grilled Fish City: This place is really good-looking for taking pictures and punching in, the old city of Wanzhou feels very good, we went to eat at more than three o'clock, all the snacks were gone, I personally feel that the grilled fish tastes average, the environment is OK, it is a net red shop suitable for taking pictures and punching in. ④ Rice Cool Shrimp: I have also drunk cool shrimp in Yichang before, I feel that the taste is almost the same, I feel that it is almost the same to find any one on the road

In this autumn season, I embarked on a journey to find the beauty of nature - Huangshui National Forest Park. Located in Shizhu Tujia Autonomous County, Chongqing, Huangshui National Forest Park is a great place to escape the summer heat and enjoy the autumn leaves. With its beautiful mountains and clear waters, the park is like a gift from nature, allowing every visitor to find inner peace and harmony. 👣【Must-visit attractions】👣 - Longhe Canyon: The clear streams flow through the canyon, with lush trees on both sides. Walking through it, you can feel the breath of nature, as if you are in a paradise. - Dafeng Fort: Climb up Dafeng Fort, and you can overlook the beauty of the entire park. The mountains are endless, especially at sunrise and sunset, the view is breathtaking. - Qianye Grassland: Not only does it have vast grassland scenery, but it also offers a variety of outdoor activities, such as horseback riding and camping. It is a great place to experience Tujia customs. 🚕【Transportation guide】🚕 From Chongqing, it takes about 3-4 hours by car. You can take the G50 Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway to Shizhu Interchange, then turn to S105 Provincial Road to Huangshui Town. If you don't drive, you can also take a long-distance bus to Shizhu County, then transfer to a local bus or taxi to the park. It is recommended to plan your trip in advance to avoid the crowds during peak holidays. 🏡【Accommodation recommendation】🏡 There are many different styles of accommodation in Huangshui Town, ranging from budget hotels to characteristic homestays. I recommend "Huangshui Renjia", a characteristic homestay. It not only provides a comfortable living environment, but also allows you to experience the local Tujia culture and taste authentic Tujia cuisine. 🍱【Surrounding food】🍱 When you come here, you must try the delicious food in the Tujia stilted houses. I recommend trying "Tujia bacon", "sour soup fish", and various wild vegetables made with local fresh ingredients. Each bite is an ultimate temptation for your taste buds. 🌺【Nearby attractions recommendation】🌺 After visiting Huangshui National Forest Park, you can also visit the nearby Lengshui Wind Valley Scenic Area or other attractions in Shizhu County. Lengshui Wind Valley Scenic Area is known for its unique karst landforms and cool climate, making it a great place to escape the summer heat.
