I regret not discovering it earlier, Heishangu is so beautiful!!
🌿【Attraction Introduction: A verdant natural canvas】🌿
Heishangu, a place with a mysterious name, is famous for its primitive forests, cascading waterfalls, and deep canyons. Walking on the winding plank roads, you are flanked by ancient trees that blot out the sky, with the babbling streams beneath your feet, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of soil and leaves. Must-visit spots include "Heilongtan", a tranquil pool of clear water reflecting the surrounding lush greenery; and "Feilong Waterfall", where the water tumbles down from a hundred meters high, an impressive display of nature's artistry.

Every breath in Heishangu is a purification of the soul. This place is not only a visual feast but also a deep appreciation of the beauty of nature. Bring your camera, pack a simple bag, and let's find that long-lost peace and freedom in this green ocean. Travel is not just a physical migration, but also a homecoming for the soul. Looking forward to meeting a better self in Heishangu.
From the south entrance onwards you will walk down the valley path through an array of beautiful waterfalls where you can do your legs in and maybe even swim if you're brave. Towards the north entrance the scenery is a little less spectacular but some shallow streams you can chill by or catch crabs.
Overall, it’s okay, that is, it took more than 200 to go back and forth by car. We brought the elderly together. It’s still not suitable for bringing the elderly to play. It’s a bit cold when I go, and I didn’t play in the water. The overall feeling is average.
The weather is still quite cool, and it is very good to escape the summer heat in summer. The traffic is average. There are buses from the visitor center to Wansheng Bus Station, which means that there are fewer shifts. I hope to increase the through trains in the scenic spot to make it more convenient for tourists.
This scenic spot is located outside of Chongqing megacity a far away from urbanized area of Chongqing agglomeration. It's beautiful at any season and demonstrates typical karst formation of the region.
We went from the north gate to the south gate. The cableway was also considered a painting dragon on the whole way. We accompanied two 80-year-old parents. With this cableway, we can easily overlook the canyon. We can rest and become the highlight of the itinerary.
Very beautiful, fairy mist, between the mountains and rivers, family travel together, in the canyon of negative ion, the mountain waterfall creek, in the forest of geological living fossils, occasionally the monkeys playing on the rockside, really happy!
