Sofia's Travel Story



Spring walk in Chongqing continues | Yuelai Jiangwan Qingshui Trail, a pleasant walk along Jialing River!

The New Year is over and spring is coming on schedule.

Recently, due to rising temperatures, Chongqing has been shrouded in warm sunshine.

The Jialing River is quiet and beautiful at this time of year, which intoxicates people.

Take advantage of good weather and get out of house!

Today, I recommend a treasured scenic spot in northern Chongqing that brings together parents and children, fishing, barbecue, water games, fitness, and sunbathing in a daze: Jialing River's Yuelai River Waterway!

You can get there by walking through "Yuelai Binjiang Park", which can be seen walking through park and going down to river.

As one of most distinctive water trails in Chongqing, 6.2-kilometre water trail in Yuelai section of Jialing River has attracted many citizens and friends here.

Three or five friends, walk among them, look at clear water of river and feel silence by river~

Here, mountains, rivers, tidal flats, trees, grasses, etc., all kinds of natural forms are mixed together. With green water, green mountains and murmuring water, a beautiful picture of harmonious coexistence of man and nature opens before you!

After river receded, tidal flats gradually appeared, providing good habitat for birds. From time to time I saw a few egrets playing and foraging on river, and sometimes circling and flying, which gave the local ecological background poetry and romance.
