Regret coming now! The severely underestimated Three Gorges town

Sisters! I dragged my 6-year-old "money-gobbling monster" to explore Chongqing's hidden gem—the cliffside homestay was absolutely stunning, but the challenges were truly explosive! My kid turned into a "gecko spirit" from fear on the winding mountain roads, while this mom got sprayed awake by a smart toilet... Wiping tears with sunscreen sleeves stained with grilled fish oil, I wrote this guide to save your kid at least eight fingers‼️
♦️Immortal Adventure Itinerary (For Brave Parents Only)
Day1⃣️: Drive from Chongqing to Liuping👉Terrifying hairpin turns👉Stargazing at Muyan Homestay at night
Day2⃣️: Playing wildlings at the Wilderness Theater👉Chasing fog at Cloud Viewing Platform👉"Fishing for jade" in Dicui Gorge
Day3⃣️: Doodling at Wuyuan Art Gallery👉Packing three jars of Wushan crispy plums with tears
✅Muyan Wushan Homestay: Cliffside Thrills
Heart-pounding at 900m altitude! When we opened the cliff-view room window, my kid suddenly screamed: "Mom, the clouds are touching my face!" ☁️ The smart curtains suddenly closed, scaring them into hiding under the blankets yelling "monster!"—only to cry over their own shadow...
✅Wushan Little Three Gorges: Misty Drift
A real-life "Wizard of Oz"! As the boat passed through Dicui Gorge, my kid waved a fish net shouting: "I'll catch a jade for Dad!" 💎 When the mist flooded the cabin, my limited-edition sun jacket turned into a "rag"...
✅Wilderness Theater: Land Art
Family edition "Survivor"! While posing my kid for artsy photos, they suddenly belly-crawled like a worm: "I'm whispering to the earth!" 🐛 Dad's drone crashed into a tree, its propeller shredding five leaves...
💣Bloody Pitfalls:
1⃣️Avoid breakfast on winding roads! 360° turns made us nauseous—kid's AD calcium milk sprayed like a rainbow
2⃣️Beware villa bathtubs! The water heater fluctuated wildly—we jumped out screaming and hit the toilet
3⃣️No white shoes at the art gallery! Kid knocked over paint—limited sneakers became "abstract art"
4⃣️Skip snacks at Cloud Viewing Platform! Mist turned chips soggy—wails echoed through the gorge
🍜Foodie Battleground:
✔️Wushan grilled fish🐟 So spicy the kid chugged three sour plum drinks, then had a "life-or-death" fishbone scare
✔️Mountain chicken soup🍲 So delicious we downed five bowls—oil splatters looked like nebula art
✔️Crispy plum honey drink🍹 Sweet enough for cavity warnings—straw punctured the cup, flooding the table
✖️Avoid "ethereal" wild veggies! So bitter the kid's face contorted—fed them to squirrels instead
📸Iconic Photo Spots:
1️⃣Cliff-view floor window (robe-clad breakfast in the clouds)
2️⃣Wilderness Theater stump (windmill forest photoshoot)
3️⃣Dicui Gorge boat bow (straw hat fishergirl cosplay)
4️⃣Cloud Viewing Platform mist (scarf-twirling fairy descent)
🏡Accommodation Hits & Misses:
✔️Muyan private villa: Comes with camellia specimens, bathtub fits three
✔️Cliff-view loft: Stargazing skylight, includes plum wine
✖️Certain mountain-view room: Gecko rave on the windowsill, AC louder than a tractor
⚠️Survival Kit:
✔️Military-grade anti-slip shoes (stone paths slicker than Dove chocolate)
✔️Kid leash (become a "human kite" by cliffs)
✔️Airtight snack jars (so hungry on curves we'd gnaw the steering wheel)
✔️Foldable dryer (washing three "battle-damaged" outfits daily)
On the train home, my kid suddenly asked: "Mom, are clouds the mountain's blanket?" Though we handled ten "surprises" daily, finding their jar of "glowing rocks" made it all worth it!
(💡Critical warning: Pack TEN outfits! Mountain mist is sauna-level humid—we looked freshly drowned daily😭)
