Shanwangping as the ceiling of Chongqing in autumn It's finally open! Weekend, take your baby to breathe No more hiking in Shanwangping Forest Park I also spent a happy day at the camping base next to it. Here you can go boating, stay overnight, have a barbecue, and watch the Milky Way with your naked eye. I think I found a treasure~ The autumn weather is refreshing at an altitude of 1,345 meters The tent room is beautiful and well-equipped, standing by the lake, under the ginkgo tree. When night falls, in addition to watching the sunset, we also watched an open-air movie, had a barbecue around the fire, and chatted with friends under the starry sky. How comfortable it was to see the Milky Way with the naked eye and the sky full of stars! The inflatable mattress we brought with us also played a big role this time. We dragged it to the lawn and the three of us lay side by side to watch the stars. The romantic and relaxing time was at our fingertips.

🌿🍁Recently, Ajie embarked on a journey to explore the Chungking Express, a forest that is beautifully symbolized by autumn. The scene here is intoxicating: half of the forest has turned golden, while the other half is still lush and green, as if you have walked into a fairy tale world. 🌿🍁Destination: Shanwangping Karst Forest Park, located in Nanchuan District, Chongqing. It takes about 2 hours to drive from Chongqing’s main city, and the ticket price is 20 yuan. Vehicles cannot enter directly, but the park provides tourist bus service, with a one-way ticket of 15 yuan. 🍁🌿This forest is really charming, but it takes more than an hour to walk from the entrance to the Stone Forest Scenic Area, so it is recommended to take the shuttle bus provided by the park. The scenery along the way is dreamy. You can get off the car to take pictures of the beautiful scenery while traveling through the forest. 🌿🍁November to December is the best time to photograph the autumn scenery here. At that time, the leaves are a charming mix of yellow and green. To avoid the crowds, I suggest going there in the morning, which allows you to enjoy the scenery for 5-6 hours.

Shanwangping makes people linger. When I went there, it was cloudy, at least 5 degrees lower than the foot of the mountain, half red leaves and half green, evenly dividing the autumn beauty. I went to the Stone Forest, marveling at the wonders of nature, and the fairies each have their own shapes. At present, there is no excessive development, most of them are relatively primitive. It's a great place to relax and oxygenate on weekends!

This is another forest park in Nanchuan except Jinfo Mountain. Shanwangping is a scenic spot that has been relatively hot in the past two years, and it is best known for its red and green cedar forests in autumn. Almost every visitor to Shanwangping will have a two-color forest photo from a classic perspective. But in the spring, this effect is not the best. In the autumn, you can see the obvious yellow and green colors. In the spring, we can only see the green color, but the good news is that even the green color has obvious bright and dark gaps. . You can also feel the magic of nature. Spring Mountain Peak is off-season, the fare is 40 people, and after 5.1 days, it will increase to 80 per person, officially entering the peak season. In addition to the above mentioned photos in the net red angle, you can also camp. The camping at Shanwangping is to let you enjoy the oxygen of nature. The price of camping is also relatively close to the people. In addition to the tickets, each tent costs only 30 yuan per night. Regardless of the size of the tent, even a large tent that can accommodate 10 people is still charged. Therefore, camping in Shanwangping is also a good way for citizens to go down the mountain. If you are just coming for a red spot. Then I will give you a little trick here, because this cedar forest is not far from the gate, it can be easily reached by drone, and there is not much interference in this piece, the aircraft can be safely operated. So if you just need to check out this red spot, then you can shoot without a ticket. But then again, experience is experience, after all, it is speculation, if you want to experience the Xiawangping Scenic Area, then spend money to go in and have a good time. In the scenic area, we played in Shilin District. There are many strange stones in the shape. And the road is not flat, and some roads require you to be careful to go up. But once you can climb to the top, you can see the mountains, the pleasure is hard to say. After a rain, the clouds became thicker and the photos taken were even more sultry. There is also a tip. In the vicinity of the gate of the scenic spot, there is a forest that is very artistic. Here you can shoot objects or portraits with a large aperture lens. The blurring behind will make you feel like a fairy. So, the beautiful scenery is always on the road, it is true. As long as there is a beautiful eye that can be found at any time, such a surprise will happen unexpectedly. Notes
