Can't keep it hidden anymore! A "Little Iceland Waterfall Secret Spot" has appeared deep in the mountains of Hechuan

🌿【Step into the real-life Wizard of Oz: Complete guide to Tianxing Waterfall】 📍 Location: Tianxing Village, Sanmiao Town, Hechuan District, Chongqing (Navigate directly to "Tianxing Waterfall," the last 500 meters is a country road, no problem for sedans~) 🚗 Transportation hit: Self-driving fans rejoice! From the main city, take Yuwu Expressway → Third Ring Expressway, 1.5 hours to arrive precisely, free parking available 🅿️; For public transport users, car rental is recommended, about 40 minutes from Hechuan urban area (don’t trust the navigation saying 2 hours! Carpooling tested and more reliable). 🎫 Ticket bonus: 0 yuan! 0 yuan! 0 yuan! (Important things with flame effect 🔥) Happiness cheaper than bubble tea, a must-go for working people on weekends! 💦【Three eye-catching iconic photo spots】 ❶ 30-meter cliff waterfall: The Milky Way crashing into the green forest 🌪️ As soon as you approach, the roaring sound stuns you—the waterfall crashes down from the dark green cliff, water splashing on black rocks creating mist half a person’s height. When the sun is out, you can see a rainbow embedded in the water curtain 🌈! Standing on the viewing platform (simple but great for photos), the mist cools your face, instantly dispelling the heat~ Secret tip: wear light-colored clothes and stand slightly behind the waterfall, turn on portrait mode on your phone, and you’ll capture a “fairy undergoing tribulation” vibe in no time 📸! ❷ Black volcanic rock beach: Pretend you’re filming in Iceland 🌋 The riverbed downstream of the waterfall is covered with black volcanic rocks formed billions of years ago, layered like a giant’s chopped chocolate cake! Pick a flat rock to sit on, with the white waterfall behind you, every snap looks like a scene from Interstellar with a desolate feel 🌑. Recommended to wear black or white clothes for a striking contrast! (⚠️ Rocks are slippery when wet, be sure to step carefully!) ❸ Shallow water play: The source of ice-cold summer joy 💦 Below the waterfall is a natural shallow pool, water reaching calf height, with smooth pebbles at the bottom. Take off your shoes and step in—oh my! The icy creek water feels like pouring mint candy into your veins, instantly cooling you down 🧊~ Parents can bring water guns for kids, but watch them closely as the water flow near the waterfall is a bit strong! 📸 Photography master’s secret spots (with pitfall warnings) ➊ God’s eye view panorama Fly a drone 100 meters in front of the waterfall, tilt the lens down 45°, and capture the stunning scene of a “silver chain falling in a green valley” (avoid strong midday light, 10 AM or 4 PM light is softest). ➋ Frame composition through rock crevices Squat among the volcanic rocks and shoot the waterfall through the gap between two rocks. With the foreground blurred, the waterfall looks like it’s framed by a natural picture frame, full of artistic vibe ✨. ➌ The ultimate atmosphere on rainy misty days Went to shoot after last week’s heavy rain, the waterfall’s volume surged, the whole canyon was shrouded in white mist, standing on the viewing platform you could only hear water sounds, unable to see the opposite bank—this is exactly like the bronze door scene in The Lost Tomb! (Remember to bring a waterproof phone case, the lens fogs easily) 🌫️ ❌ Pitfall warning: Don’t be like some bloggers standing on the rocks directly under the waterfall! The stones carried by the water flow are extremely dangerous, safety first, folks! 😭 🍱 Survival rules for wild spots (must-read!) ✅ Food & drink: Bringing your own snacks is king • No shops within 5 km of the scenic area! Recommend bringing sandwiches + cold cola, find a big rock as your table, picnic while listening to the waterfall, full of ceremony 🥪~ • Must-have for pros: thermos with cold brew tea (green tea is best), take a sip when tired, refreshes you to the top of your head! ✅ Gear: Details determine experience • Non-slip shoes! Non-slip shoes! (Important, said twice) Volcanic rocks are slipperier than an ice rink when wet, sneakers are 100 times more reliable than sandals 👟; • Portable mini fan + mosquito repellent (few mosquitoes in mist area, but “buzz monsters” in surrounding grass); • Spare clothes (you’ll get wet playing in water, especially parents with kids). ✅ Timing: Off-peak travel is the winner • Arrive before 9 AM on weekends to enjoy the waterfall alone; after 11 AM tour groups may come (don’t ask how we know, we’ve been dominated by scarves of elderly tourists 😅); • Water volume is highest 1-2 days after rain, but mountain roads are muddy, rain boots are safer. 💬 Local secret tips (not for everyone) 1️⃣ Immortal tofu in the neighboring village: 10 minutes by car to Sanmiao Town, there’s a place called "Li Ji Pea Jelly," the pea jelly is freshly shaved, topped with spicy sauce and secret vinegar, so sour and spicy you’ll stomp your feet! 5 yuan a bowl, and you can pack raw jelly to go 💥; 2️⃣ Stop by Jiufeng Temple: 20 minutes by car from the waterfall, a thousand-year-old temple hidden in the forest, with two 600-year-old ginkgo trees inside that are stunning (golden in autumn, like a filter), vegetarian meal 15 yuan and very filling, the vegetarian roast pork is so fragrant you’ll want to pack some 🍚; 3️⃣ Evening fish catching by the river: There are wild grouper fish in the small river downstream of the waterfall, bring a small net, if lucky you can catch palm-sized ones (remember to release the small fishlings~) 🐟. 🌌 Final ramble “When the city is filled with steel and concrete, Tianxing Waterfall is like a love letter hidden deep in the mountains.” Standing on the black rocks listening to the roar of the water, watching the mist weave a net in the sunlight, suddenly all the fatigue of life is healed by this “natural oxygen bar” 🌿. PS: Remember to take all your trash with you! Such a beautiful place, don’t let plastic bags spoil the scenery~
