Day 1 Chongqing → Changshou → Sandaoguai → Changshou Lake → Metasequoia Forest → Chongqing
All day
Meet and sign in at Exit 3B of Hongqihegou Station on Metro Line 3 between 9:00 and 9:30 in the morning (look for staff holding yellow China-TravelNote flags);
Along the way, the tour leader interacted with everyone and we headed to our destination with laughter and joy.
Arrive in Changshou around 11:00 AM and join your group for a vintage cable car ride, traversing the dreamlike tracks and experiencing the charm of old Chongqing. (The cable car ride is free; if the cable car is closed, there's no refund.)
Then, walk to Sandaoguai, Changshou Old Street. Like the Eighteen Ladders, it connects the old and new city districts. Below it lies He Street, the heart of old Changshou, while above lies New Century Plaza, Changshou's current bustling district. The weathered, unchanging bluestone slabs bear witness to past prosperity, seemingly glimpsing the bustling streets.
At lunchtime, we'll explore delicious dishes like Changshou rice noodles and pig intestine rice.
Afterward, walk across Changshou Bridge, across Taohua Creek, and explore Dinghui Temple (the temple is occasionally open).
Around 2:30-3:30 PM, we will take a bus to Changshou Lake and walk around and check in at the Metasequoia Forest. Enjoy the weekend.
Around 5:00 PM, we will pack up and prepare to return.
The event ended around 19:30, and everyone said goodbye with tears in their eyes...
