Compared to Hongya Cave, I highly recommend you visit this lesser-known ancient village in Chongqing

If you only know Hongya Cave, Baixiangju, and Longmenhao when coming to Chongqing,

then I strongly suggest you take Metro Line 6 to Beibei.

Escape the crowded city center

and head to the hot spring old village at the foot of Jinyun Mountain by the Jialing River.

Towering ancient trees + green wilderness + small bridges and flowing water + quaint alleys and homes

Experience the slow life of an old village unique to Chongqing 🌿

📍 Location: Jingangbei Hot Spring Old Village, Chongqing

🚗 Transportation: Take Metro Line 6 to [Beibei], then bus or taxi directly to the village

🏨 Accommodation: Recommended to stay overnight! Many hotels with diverse styles, soaking in the hot springs is super comfortable

📸 Nearby: Jinyun Mountain, Zhang Fei Ancient Trail, Golden Valley, Shengtian Lake

The entire old village has been beautifully renovated while preserving its original appearance.

Strolling through the ancient village feels like returning to your childhood home.

Bluestone paths + towering ancient trees + dense forest vines

Like a time tunnel leading back to the past,

instantly bringing you back to carefree childhood days 🎈

Here are some must-visit spots:

✅ Ancient Tree Corner – In the afternoon, sunlight filtering through the leaves creates a stunning Tyndall effect

✅ Piaoling Alley – Bluestone paths + sloped alleys, recreating childhood neighborhood life

✅ Fairy Tale Swing – Hidden in the riverside forest, ethereal and super dreamy!

♨️ The hot springs come from Beibei Wentang Gorge, perfect for soaking even in summer.

Moderate temperature, even more enjoyable at night.

Cliff hot springs + stream hot springs + forest hot springs + riverside hot springs

One ticket grants access to all pools!

Night tours with lighting create an amazing atmosphere; after exploring, soaking in the hot springs is pure bliss!
