Baidi City Scenic Area

Chongqing Baidicheng Travel Guide - Bidding farewell to Baidi amid colorful clouds, a thousand miles to Jiangling return in a single day. ‼️ Baidicheng was originally named Ziyang City. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the throne, and his general, Gongsun Shu, carved out a fiefdom in Sichuan, where he stationed troops and stockpiled grain, proclaiming himself the King of Shu. As his power grew, he harbored ambitions to become emperor, and thus proclaimed himself the White Emperor at the mouth of the Qutang Gorge, and the city was henceforth known as Baidicheng. ‼️ Later, during the Ming Dynasty, the Sichuan governor destroyed the statue of Gongsun Shu and, based on the famous story of the White Emperor entrusting his heirs during the Three Kingdoms period, enshrined statues of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and other Shu Han heroes in the Baidi Temple. Therefore, to this day, the cultural history of Baidicheng is dominated by the culture of the White Emperor entrusting his heirs. ✅ Address: Baidicheng Scenic Area, North Bank of the Yangtze River at the mouth of Qutang Gorge, Fengjie County, Chongqing ⏰ Business Hours: 8:30-19:00 (Ticket sales stop at 17:00, entry stops at 17:30) 🎫 Ticket Price: Off-season 60 RMB/person (November 1st to the end of February next year), peak season 100 RMB/person (March 1st to October 31st) ❤️ Recommended Duration of Visit: About 2.5 hours 🚄 Transportation: 🚗 Self-driving: Navigate directly to the ticket office of Baidicheng Scenic Area 🚌 Bus: Take the tourist line from Fengjie High-speed Train Station to Baidicheng Scenic Area 🅿️ Parking: 10 RMB/time ❤️ Tips: 1⃣️ The Baidicheng Scenic Area and the Qutang Gorge Scenic Area are integrated, and you can buy an additional ticket to take a boat tour of Kuimen 2⃣️ It is best to learn about the history of the Three Kingdoms and the poetry about this place before going, to get a better experience 3⃣️ There is a section of climbing in the scenic area, about 300 steps, and if you have limited physical strength, you can choose to take a sedan chair 4⃣️ In the evening, there is a 'Return to the Three Gorges' water performance in the scenic area, don't miss it if time allows 5⃣️ Remember to bring 10 RMB, and check in at the viewing platform to see the magnificent view of Kuimen

Ancient Shu had four wonders, known as 'Kuimen the most majestic, Jianmen the most perilous, Emei the most beautiful, and Qingcheng the most secluded'. 1️⃣ Baidicheng Recommendation rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Suggested visiting time: More than 1 day Ticket: 🎫100 yuan Location: 📌 Baidicheng Scenic Area on the north bank of the Yangtze River at the mouth of Qutang Gorge Baidicheng has thousands of steps, two-thirds of which are submerged underwater, with only three hundred steps remaining. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, this city was built. Because a well in the city often emitted white vapors, resembling a white dragon, it was given its current name. 💥 Baidicheng is well-known for the story of Liu Bei entrusting his son to others, a must-visit for fans of the Three Kingdoms. Baidicheng is well-preserved, and besides the statues of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and others, there are also many precious inscriptions and steles from literati of various dynasties. - 2️⃣ Kuizhou Museum Recommendation rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Visiting time: 2-3 hours A national second-level museum, 4A tourist attraction. In addition to Tang tri-colored ceramic figures and Ming and Qing Buddha statues unearthed locally, the exhibition hall uses a large number of photos to recreate the old Fengjie city (the old city of Fengjie permanently disappeared due to the rising waters of the Three Gorges Dam), covering a time span from the late Qing Dynasty to the beginning of this century. Precious photos of the first person from Chongqing Nankai Wharf, Li Delue, and his wife (who also often traveled to Fengjie by boat on the Yangtze River) are also on display here. - 3⃣️ Kuimen Chijialou (Watching the river and teasing monkeys 🐒) Recommendation rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Visiting time: 1 hour ⚠️Highly recommended⚠️ You'll regret it if you don't go! A ten yuan RMB photo spot, an immersive experience of Li Bai's 'Early Departure from Baidicheng' with 'the endless cries of monkeys on both banks'. Many notes indicate that the best position to view Qutang Gorge is from Baidicheng (which I disagree with ❌, because you can't see the front of Kuimen from the top of Baidicheng and can't feel the majesty of Kuimen). The best angle should be from Chijialou at the mouth of the gorge. Chijialou has a large number of wild macaques 🐒 (there were about 20 when I visited), and most of them are very civilized and friendly. There is also feed for sale at 5 yuan 💰 per pack. You can enjoy teasing the monkeys and admiring the river without delay. - 4⃣️ Summit of the Three Gorges Recommendation rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Visiting time: 4 hours The best position to overlook Qutang Gorge. Friends who do not drive need to take a shuttle bus from Fengjie High-speed Railway Station to get there (9:00-9:30-10:00), and the return trip also requires a shuttle bus. Suitable for friends who like to climb high and look far, ⚠️those with acrophobia⚠️ choose carefully. The Summit of the Three Gorges and Baidicheng are far from the new county city of Fengjie. If you want to return on the same day, the time will be very tight, and you will need to make a choice. - Suggested route: Kuizhou Museum—Qutang Gorge Scenic Area (Baidicheng and Chijialou are part of the same scenic area) Visit Baidicheng—Visit Chijialou—Summit of the Three Gorges

Baidi City is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River at the entrance of Qutang Gorge, which is also the western entrance of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. If you look with a drone, you will find that Baidi City is now an island, which is actually due to the rise of the water level caused by the Three Gorges Dam, and the Baidi City stele erected in the 1990s has been submerged underwater. However, Baidi City is indeed easy to defend and hard to attack because of the dangerous entrance of the Yangtze River Gorge, so it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. The story of Baidi City entrusting orphans, that is, when Liu Bei retreated to this place and fell ill, he entrusted Liu Shan to Zhuge Liang, is said to have occurred in Yong'an City near Baidi City, and some say it was in Baidi Temple on Baidi Mountain. Baidi City is known as the City of Poetry, and many literati have left poems here. The one we are most familiar with should be Li Bai's "Early Departure from Baidi City". When Li Bai was exiled and passed by Baidi City, he happened to learn of the news of his pardon and left this poem that exists not only in textbooks. 🚢Highlights of Baidi City There are two attractions on Baidi Mountain, Baidi Temple and Kuimen Viewing Platform, which are not far apart, go to the one with fewer people first. The gate of Baidi Temple, the pattern is very beautiful, because most of them are visited by tour groups, so you can still wait for a time when no one is taking pictures. The white dragon sculpture after entering the door has a lot to say. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Gongsun Shu named himself the White Emperor because of the white gas like a dragon that emerged from the well in the city, and Baidi Temple was also built by the locals for Gongsun Shu. Baidi Temple is not small in scale, with Mingliang Hall, Wuhou Shrine, Guanxing Pavilion and other Ming and Qing buildings. Mingliang Hall was built during the Jiaqing period and is the main building of Baidi Temple. There are many steles in the halls on both sides and in the courtyard, the oldest of which can be traced back to the Sui Dynasty. Among them is a "Bamboo Leaf Stele", which combines poetry and painting, and is said to be the most valuable. The Kuimen viewing point on the mountain feels not as good as on the cruise ship, but if you can't take good photos yourself, the scenic spot has official photos taken at this position. There are several viewing platforms along the trail down the mountain, but the entrance of Qutang Gorge is deep and tall, and the angle of viewing Kuimen has not changed much because of this little height difference. Perhaps the angle of view from a drone overhead is better. Both up and down the mountain will pass through two antique commercial blocks, but we are always at the end of the team when we come and go, so we don't have time to stroll. 🚢Baidi City·Qutang Gorge Scenic Area Address: Baidi City Scenic Area, North Bank of the Yangtze River at the Entrance of Qutang Gorge, Fengjie County, Chongqing Opening hours: 8:30-19:00, stop admission at 17:30 Ticket: 100 yuan/adult (peak season 3.1-10.31) 60 yuan/adult (off season 11.1-next February) Slide: 200 yuan/one way

You must visit Fengjie! Witness the cloud-shrouded mountains and seas, admire the magnificent beauty of the Qutang Gorge, the first of the Three Gorges, and seek the ancient Baidi City described by Li Bai in 'Departing at dawn from Baidi amid colorful clouds, I return to Jiangling within a single day.' History intertwines with modernity; from ancient times to the present, this place has been the crown jewel in the hearts of literati and poets. They have always depicted the Three Gorges with intense emotion and vivid colors, so it is recommended to travel to the peak of the Three Gorges, Baidi City, and the Kuizhou Museum. At the peak of the Three Gorges, you can overlook the entire Yangtze River and the majestic landscape of Qutang Gorge. It is suggested to visit the viewing platform after reaching the summit. Kuizhou Museum: A treasure trove of a museum with three exhibition halls, introducing the millennia-old cultural history of Fengjie's Three Gorges from the perspectives of warfare, poetry, and scenery. Baidi City: The Baidi City written about by Li Bai, the western gateway of the Yangtze River's Three Gorges, the scenic background on the 10 RMB note, where Liu Bei once entrusted his legacy. Its historical significance is extraordinary and it is well worth a visit. 📍 About Transportation: To get to Baidi City and the peak of the Three Gorges, you can take a shuttle bus travel line or drive yourself, both are very convenient.

After taking a cruise to the Three Gorges, I just want to say that the life of lying flat, eating, drinking, and enjoying the scenery is too wonderful. Five days passed in a flash, and life really needs such a true vacation time, to eat well and sleep well, instead of a special forces-style trip. Some people say that the cruise is too luxurious, let's do the math, a cruise ticket includes five days of travel expenses, accommodation, meals, all-day drinks, entertainment facilities... Very good, I will go again next time. Getting to know the Century Paragon The one we took is a Century Cruise, which is simply too luxurious, making everyone who doubts domestic cruises slap themselves in the face.

Baidi City is located in Chongqing, on the north bank of the Yangtze River at the mouth of Qutang Gorge in Fengjie County, and the ticket is only 10 yuan. There is a very famous attraction called Kui Gate, which has become a place where many people check in. Let me recommend it to you: You can take a high-speed train from Chongqing to Fengjie. After arriving at Fengjie High-speed Railway Station, there is a tourist bus that can directly reach Baidi City. However, pay attention to the time, usually there is only one bus a day, which departs at 10 o'clock in the morning. Baidi City and Qutang Gorge are famous tourist attractions in the Three Gorges, must-visit spots. Kind reminder: The ticket price is 100 yuan, the cruise fee is 50 yuan, and the cruise departs from the Zhongyi Ferry Terminal in Baidi City Scenic Area. The cruise takes about an hour, during which you will pass the Jiangxia Cultural Museum, you can get off the boat to visit. The Jiangxia Cultural Museum not only has cultural exhibitions, but also forts to watch, and you can also feed monkeys. If you want to start climbing from the Jiangxia Cultural Museum, you can go to the top of the Three Gorges, but it takes about 10 hours to go back and forth. Be sure to pay special attention to the time, because the last cruise departs at 17:30, if you miss it, you can't come back. Baidi City is the best place to watch the 'Kui Gate is the world's hero'. It has welcomed famous poets from all dynasties such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Liu Yuxi, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Fan Chengda, Lu You, etc. They have left a large number of poems here, so Baidi City is also known as the 'City of Poetry'.

⛩️ Baidi City, originally named Ziyang City, got its name during the late Western Han dynasty when Wang Mang usurped the throne. His general, Gongsun Shu, took control of Sichuan, stationed troops, and stockpiled grain here, proclaiming himself the King of Shu.

Hence, the cultural history of Baidi City has been dominated by the 'White Emperor Entrusting His Son' culture to this day. ✅ Address: Baidi City Scenic Area, north bank of the Yangtze River at the mouth of Qutang Gorge, Fengjie County, Chongqing ⏰ Business Hours: 8:30-19:00 (Ticket sales stop at 17:00, and entry stops at 17:30) 🎫 Ticket Price: Off-season 60 RMB/person (November 1st to the end of February next year), peak season 100 RMB/person (March 1st to October 31st) ❤️ Recommended Duration of Visit: About 2.5 hours 🚄 Transportation: 🚗 Self-driving: Navigate directly to the ticket office of Baidi City Scenic Area 🚌 Bus: Take the tourist line from Fengjie High-speed Train Station to Baidi City Scenic Area 🅿️ Parking: 10 RMB/time ❤️ Tips: 1⃣️ The Baidi City Scenic Area and Qutang Gorge Scenic Area are integrated; you can buy an additional ticket to take a boat tour of the Kui Gate 2⃣️ It's best to learn about the history of the Three Kingdoms and the poetry about this place before going, to have a better experience 3⃣️ There is a climb within the scenic area, about 300 steps, and if you're not physically up to it, you can choose to take a sedan chair 4⃣️ In the evening, there is a 'Return to the Three Gorges' water performance in the scenic area; don't miss it if time permits

This time, I took the Century Cruise through the Three Gorges, with the theme of 'Time Travel, Light and Shadow Retrospect', and revisited many classic movies in the cruise's cinema. That day, just after watching 'Thirty Thousand Miles in Chang'an', I arrived at Baidi City the next morning, and 'set off early from Baidi City' with Li Bai. 'In the morning, I bid farewell to Baidi City among the colorful clouds, and I returned to Jiangling a thousand miles away in a day. The ape's cries on both banks could not stop, and the light boat had already passed through thousands of mountains.' These scenes depicted in the movie are being performed in front of my eyes, which is both a pilgrimage to the movie scenes and a tribute to the poet Li Bai. During the 'Anshi Rebellion', Li Bai was sentenced to exile in Yelang (now eastern Guizhou) because of his involvement in the case of Prince Yong Li Lin. When he arrived at Baidi City, he suddenly received the amnesty order from Emperor Suzong. The overjoyed Li Bai suddenly felt like a bird that had broken out of its cage. The suffocating hardships and the unjust accusations that were hard to wash away suddenly disappeared. He immediately got up and took a boat from Baidi City to Jiangling. On the way, he wrote this poem, expressing his joy and exhilaration at the time. After passing Baidi City, the Qutang Gorge is ahead, and the real 'Three Gorges' journey begins here. Baidi City is located in Baidi Town, Fengjie County, Chongqing City, at the northern bank of the Yangtze River at the mouth of the Qutang Gorge, on Baidi Mountain. Baidi City is located at the western entrance of Kui Gate, using the mountainous and watery terrain of Kui Gate to build a city. It is a typical city site of the Gorge River City type. And Kui Gate is the mouth of the Qutang Gorge, the spectacular and dangerous gorge mouth is like a 'thousand men guarding the pass, ten thousand men cannot open' pass. As the boat slowly enters, it's like entering a parallel world. Although the cheers of tourists are all around, I can't hear anything and am immersed in my own world. Ten minutes later, the boat begins to sail out of the gorge, and the open river surface is refreshing and joyful. It's rare to have such a journey that allows me to fully appreciate the danger, strangeness, beauty, and beauty of the Three Gorges. At this moment, I seem to have suddenly increased the heroic ambition of Li Bai when he was inspired by poetry as he traveled down the river from Baidi City. The theme activities of the cruise in the past were also very exciting, such as the 628 Food Cruise, the September Music Season... This is the last theme activity of this year. It lasts for two months, and if you miss it, you will have to wait until next year. I look forward to Century Cruise having more innovation and imagination, attracting more young people to participate, such as Love Season, Wedding Season, and also creating a Parent-Child Season for family travel... Century Cruise, New Century Cruise!

If you travel by high-speed rail, pay attention to the high-speed rail station to the top of the Three Gorges, it seems that you should go at 10:00 in the morning and return at 15:00 in the afternoon. Pay attention‼️ 🍂Let's put a 'monkey cries on both banks are endless', a long time ago, both banks were monkey cries, now it is Chijia single bank macaque cries. Maybe 20 years ago, the farmland of Chijia and Baiyan was flooded by river water, and the monkeys ran away without food, and there were no more monkey cries. 16 years ago, the Baidi City Scenic Area was built and Sichuan macaques were introduced for open breeding, artificially fed corn. They multiplied and produced two monkey kings, each occupying the mountain up and down, always living in Chijia. They can't cross the wide Qutang Gorge, so now it's just a single-sided macaque cry. Because of artificial feeding, they don't worry about food and drink, so they are not as fierce as the monkeys on Emei Mountain. High-speed rail🚄+ taxi🚖 is very convenient, do not choose carpooling to be asked to increase the price. Baidi City to Fengjie High-speed Rail Station is about 40. Baiyan Mountain Photography House, it is more convenient to go by self-driving. ‼️Note‼️ The Three Gorges red leaves🍂 will not start to turn red until the end of November 2023, and it will be even better in December!
