There are many tourist attractions in Chongqing. Don't miss Jinfo Mountain when you travel in winter, because Jinfo Mountain is a national key scenic spot, where there are spectacular cliff paths and waterfalls, beautiful scenery and fresh air, or maybe there will be a spectacle of clouds and waterfalls when you go to Jinfo Mountain in early winter. I went to Chongqing once two years ago, and spent a day visiting Jinfo Mountain, which gave me the greatest feeling: the natural landscape is strange and the natural environment is beautiful. Next, let's take a look with me ~

Whenever the sun sets, the afterglow of the slanting sun shines on the long cliff, and it flashes golden light, so it is called the golden turtle Chaoyang.

Aibnong is less than ten minutes' drive from the west slope of Jinfo Mountain, which is also a relatively close hotel. The hotel is at the foot of Jinfo Mountain. It is convenient to take children to stay: the hotel has indoor amusement parks, outdoor amusement parks and small zoos, all of which are free! The hotel is very new, but the price is relatively expensive, so you can spend a day in Light Hotel, which is suitable for living before going up the mountain ~

This hotel is very valuable. If you find that all the hotels around Jinfo Mountain are booked, you can consider it here. It is a 2-minute drive from the scenic spot East Street, a famous scenic spot in Nanchang.
