This Binjiang Small Town in Chongqing, with its Natural Forest Oxygen Park and Delicious Local Cuisine
I've been in Chongqing for a long time, and it seems like I don't appreciate the beauty of Chongqing very much. Just when others complain, I silently say in my heart: 'You don't understand.'
In Yu Jiang downstream in, there's a place called 'Little Chongqing'. The whole town seems to be green, and it looks particularly tranquil in the embrace of the mountains.
Leisurely Little Chongqing
After living in the main city for a long time, I'm used to the hustle and bustle. Suddenly, days with a slower pace seem to have longer time each day.
The busy days during the day don't disturb the happy nights. Walking along Binjiang Road, climbing up the bridge from the side alley, and overlooking, you can see the dazzling buildings, and instantly feel that it's no different from watching the night view in the main city. The traffic on the bridge rushes by, causing the bridge to resonate, the car lights are dazzling, suitable for shooting a set of large-scale photos, putting yourself in this colorful natural background, time seems to stop.
After strolling, go to the roadside to choose a barbecue stall with plenty of fireworks, randomly select a few skewers, eat and walk, quite unrestrained.
Walking along the River of Beauty
When people mention Pengshui, the River of Beauty is almost always mentioned. Between the majestic mountains and ridges, the River of Beauty is sometimes turbulent and sometimes calm, sometimes cheerful and sometimes quiet. Along the winding mountain, we went forward, and we were carried forward by the water flow without thinking, it was a great thrill, and at the same time, forget the fatigue.
Forest Oxygen Park
Besides the River of Beauty, Pengshui also has a place to 'take a deep breath' called Moweishan. In 2016, Moweishan was awarded the title of 'China's Forest Oxygen Park' for the second batch. Here, the peaks and ridges are stacked, cliffs and stone forests, caves and pits, you can watch the sunrise and sunset, and ancient trees in the mountains grow tall, when you go deep, there is mist, and you can take a deep breath of the mountain air, which adds a lot of vitality.
Majestic Nine Tribes Town
Legend has it that the source of the Miao people can be traced back to 'Nine Tribes' and 'Three Miao'.--' Nine Tribes' is the earliest ancestor of the Miao people. is the leader of the Nine Tribes alliance.
The Nine Tribes Town has continued the Miao culture, restored the historical appearance of 'Nine Tribes Town', and built a Miao village in the mountains, full of Miao culture, along the mountain, overlooking the entire Nine Tribes Town, you can imagine the past glory. The large Miao villages have lived here for generations, they sing and dance, they have their own skills and abilities, and they have passed down the Miao culture for generations.
Today, when you walk into this village, you can't help but admire it. Inside, there are exhibits of Miao costumes and utensils, and around the village, there are many small objects reflecting Miao culture. If you're lucky, you might also encounter some Miao cultural activities. Listening to the laughter and joy in the village, the vibrant Miao culture is clearly in front of you.
Authentic Local Cuisine
When you go to a place, the scenery is not to be missed. There's also time to explore, which is also to understand a place in depth. But to really understand the local culture, you have to taste the authentic local cuisine. If you don't have a local person to guide you, many people probably wouldn't be able to find the local specialties.
In this small town of Pengshui, almost every household makes a dish, just like we always make sausage, it's a tradition. 90% of Chongqing people don't know it, that is – Yushan Three Sausage.
Yushan Three Sausage – Named after Yushan Town. Made with half-lean pork, eggs, red potato starch, and seasonings such as salt, pepper, garlic, and ginger. Occasionally finding it is because relatives brought it back from Pengshui. When opened, the fragrance is overflowing.
The meat is cut into pieces, added with starch, eggs, appropriate salt, pepper, garlic, ginger, and mixed well, then pinched into strips, steamed in a cage, and ready to eat. The Three Sausage is golden yellow and shiny, with diced meat visible, the aroma is strong, and it's soft and slippery, very tender.
Beautiful scenery and delicious food can best reflect the culture of a place. Walking on the street, breathing deeply in the scenic area, escaping the hustle and bustle of big cities, and feeling the most real smoke flavor in a hot and delicious meal.
