Tianyi Valley of Huaying Mountain

Water-friendly tour around Chongqing - Tianyi Valley of Huaying Mountain After coming out of Huaying Mountain and driving along the winding mountain road for about 30 minutes, you can reach another scenic area at the foot of the mountain - Tianyi Valley of Huaying Mountain, which was once called Dongzhong Tianhe. In the scorching summer, this place allows for free water play and has become increasingly popular due to the stream descending activity. Tianyi Valley is located in Linshui County, Guang'an, about an hour and a half's drive from Chongqing. The entrance fee here is 80 yuan, and stream descending is 198 yuan. I once saw someone say that dogs could be brought here, but now the scenic area is not very welcoming to pets. If you bring a dog, you need to write a guarantee letter, and the stream descending starts halfway through the scenic area. The main attraction of Tianyi Valley is to walk up along a river valley. The natural scenery here is very impressive, with many waterfalls along the way, some of which are majestic, resembling Huangguoshu Waterfall, while others are like the Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. In addition, there are various strangely shaped rocks. Every so often along the tour route, there are spots where you can go down to play in the water freely. The water is shallow and very clear, so there's no need to worry about safety. Along the way, you can see tourists participating in the stream descending activity, some climbing on rock walls, some struggling forward in the water, and some leaping from cliffs, inspiring onlookers to want to experience it for themselves. It takes about 2 hours to walk up along the stream in Tianyi Valley. Although the path is narrow, it is not very difficult to walk. Along the way, the scenery of birdsong, fragrant flowers, and flying springs and waterfalls is breathtaking. However, there are few vendors along the way, and the prices are much higher than outside. At the end of the stream is a huge cave, estimated to be about thirty or forty meters high, with the stream coming from there. Tourists can walk up the stairs next to the cave to enter the interior, where there are colorful lights and several strange rocks. At the end of the cave is the most central scenery - Dongzhong Tianhe. In the dim cave, a white ribbon tens of meters long, like a dragon, plunges into the green pool below, the sound like thunder stirring up thousands of layers of water, just like the Milky Way hanging upside down in the cave, a spectacular scene that leaves the visitors holding their breath in awe of this magnificent moment of nature. Coming out from Dongzhong Tianhe, the return journey begins. It's actually the same route as the way there, but the scenic area has opened up a separate return path, which just avoids the incoming scenery, so many tourists choose to exit along the incoming road. The return journey is a bit faster than the way there, taking about an hour to reach the visitor center. There are many small fish, shrimps, and crabs in the water of Tianyi Valley, and there are nets for sale. Many people with children are catching them, which is also a significant disruption to the local ecological environment.
