[Meet Rhino Ancient Village] A Utopia Deep in the Mountains (Two Days, One Night)

Day 1 Chongqing → Tudi Township → Rhino Ancient Village → Yancang River Grand Canyon → Rhino Ancient Village

·morning

Meet and sign in at Exit 3B of Jiazhou Road Light Rail Station on Line 3 between 7:30 and 8:00 in the morning (look for staff holding yellow China-TravelNote flags);

Of course, self-introduction is indispensable on the bus. We refuse to let the boring and unfamiliar travel happen. The China-TravelNote staff will lead everyone to play games on the bus as part of the journey so that you can fully integrate into the whole activity itinerary.

Passing Wulong District along the way, have lunch in time

·afternoon

The roadside atmosphere gradually changes, and the fragrance of earth wafts into your nose. You will arrive at Tudi Township at around 12:30. The road from Tudi Township to Rhino Ancient Village is narrow, so you will transfer to a local car to enter the ancient village. The China-TravelNote tour leader will arrange rooms for you. You will take a short rest and explore the rural scenery. After lunch, you will head to the Yancang River Grand Canyon. The water in the canyon is clear, and there is a mysterious cold cave under the 100-meter waterfall. Enter one of them to explore the icy cold water and experience a different kind of Chongqing summer. Return to the ancient village at an appropriate time to take pictures of the beautiful scenery and appreciate the culture.

·night

In the evening, we will savor authentic farm food together to whet our appetites. After the meal, we will sit on the farmyard and our China-TravelNote tour guide will organize everyone to play together, enjoying the cool breeze and stargazing at the sky, or singing and playing games together. It is so pleasant!

Ps: There are no restaurants near the ancient village, and the food is mainly farm-style dishes.

Driving distance: 220 km

Notes: 1. The water of the Yancang River is said to come from the underground caves of the ancient village. It is icy and refreshing, so bring river trekking shoes or sandals.
2. The water is clear and shallow, so people of all ages can enjoy the water.

Day 2: Rhino Ancient Village → Village Cave → Bottomless Cave → Chongqing

·morning

A forest of thousands of trees nestles in the mist. Birds chirp in the morning, springs flow through the woods, and paths through the mountains are hidden. The ancient village is shrouded in mist at dawn, and the crowing of roosters and the chirping of birds are a soothing and relaxing experience. The quiet village is surrounded by mountains, shrouded in layers of mist, like a flower in the fog. The ancient stilt houses appear and disappear, and the lush countryside is shrouded in mist. It's as if the entire village hasn't woken up yet, dreaming a beautiful dream. This is a fairyland, distant and peaceful, where chickens and ducks roam freely, pigs and geese are kept docilely, and the farmhouse dishes are fragrant and delicious. In this place, far from the hustle and bustle of life, I only wish to clear my mind, let go of desire, and rest...

After breakfast, we leisurely took a look at the farmhouse scenery. At around 9:00, we went to the back mountain cave to explore the secrets. The cold air hit us at the entrance. The cave, which had been dark for a hundred years, showed the magic of nature everywhere. We went hand in hand to find the beautiful stalactites that had evolved. When we walked to the depths, the branch caves extending on all sides seemed to have secrets hidden in them. The cool temperature was suitable for having fun together. After the adventure, we returned to the village and prepared to return. We said goodbye to the people in the deep mountains and looked forward to meeting them again.

·afternoon

We arrived in Chongqing and disbanded at around 17:00 in the afternoon. Everyone was reluctant to leave and kissed goodbye with tears in their eyes.

Driving distance: 220 km

Notes: 1. Remember to bring sunscreen with you in Chongqing in the summer (remember! remember! remember!)
2. The cold caves in the canyon are freezing, and the temperature difference between morning and evening in the ancient village is large, so you can bring a light long-sleeved jacket.
