The Cool Realm - Huaying Mountain Tianyi Valley

When Chongqing city is tightly wrapped by the autumn tiger, the 40℃ high temperature makes people unbearably hot. At this time, a cool place in the distance seems to be calling, that is Tianyi Valley in Huaying Mountain, Guang'an, Sichuan. Driving 90 kilometers from the main city of Chongqing, in less than two hours, it is like escaping from a steamer and breaking free from the shackles of the heat. Upon arriving at Tianyi Valley, the first thing that comes into view is a large parking lot that can accommodate hundreds of cars. For only 10 yuan parking fee, you can start this cool journey with peace of mind. Walking towards the ticket center of the scenic area, on-site tickets are 85 yuan per person, and online pre-purchase can save 5 yuan. Seniors aged 65 and above with ID cards and children under 1.2 meters in height can enter for free. After buying the tickets, on the few hundred meters journey from the ticket center to the ticket checkpoint, there are vendors selling various water play tools, sun protection equipment, snacks, iced watermelon, and drinking water, which can be chosen as needed. Entering the scenic area, after the ticket check, two waterfalls unfold like a picture scroll. The welcoming waterfall, tens of meters high and wide, rushes down, with thousands of water splashes and mist, attracting people to play in the water and take photos, becoming a popular check-in spot. Not far away, the Dusting Waterfall, formed by a huge mountain spring, flows continuously throughout the year, resembling a white duster. Continuing forward, the Old Dragon Pool Waterfall's water curtain hangs down all year round, forming a deep pool when the water meets the deep stream, unfathomable. There is a cave on the pool wall, sometimes making sounds like a dragon's low chant. The Thousand-Foot Waterfall flows straight down from the thousand-foot cliff, falling into the deep pool in the canyon, bringing a thrilling yet refreshing feeling with its high drop. The Ground Fissure Canyon, as the most intact fault fissure preserved in Tianyi Valley, is jagged and strange, with torrents cascading layer by layer in the mountain stream, stretching for hundreds of meters, forming countless flying waterfalls and green pools, a geological wonder. At the end of the scenic area, in the Tianxin Cave, the cave river is even more astonishing. At the entrance of the cave, a natural Buddha statue - a rare stone stalagmite in the world, naturally formed by water droplets calcifying over billions of years. Inside the cave, the dark river surges, and at the end of the cave, a waterfall accompanied by strong light falls from the sky, straight to the bottom of the pool, like thousands of horses galloping, majestic and magnificent, worthy of being the first cave river in Asia. In addition, stream descending is the only recreational activity in the scenic area. At the downstream end, put on the equipment, walk 15 minutes to the upstream starting point, play in the water along the stream, and walk down, with three platforms for diving along the way, the whole experience takes 2-3 hours. Huaying Mountain Tianyi Valley, with its clear mountains and waters, has more than 100 waterfalls and dozens of caves, with countless places to get into the water along the way. When you come here to play, don't forget to bring a pair of sandals or wading shoes, let the children catch shrimps and play with water guns in the stream, and fully enjoy this cool and pleasant time.
