A Day Trip to Chongqing! Who Knew Yubei Had So Much to Do

Recently, the 'Maldives of Chongqing' has become a hit, and Danmei also found a fantastic place to visit! It's Chongqing's version of 'Jiuzhaigou,' also compared to the 'Maldives of Chongqing.' This is the Mining Park in Yubei.

And Yubei has much more than just the Mining Park—tons of fun activities! A while ago, Danmei and some friends did a day trip to Yubei, and it was so eventful! Let me share it with everyone!

After waiting so long, the Mining Park is finally reopening to the public! It's called Chongqing's 'Little Jiuzhaigou' and can also be said to be Yubei's 'Maldives.' Danmei has been there many times before, and the reopened park is still as beautiful as ever.

The Mining Park is still free to visit after reopening! The emerald-colored water looks like a green gem at first glance—so beautiful! It feels like every photo you take is a masterpiece, like you're pretending to travel abroad!

Now the park has built observation decks, so you can appreciate the beauty of the Mining Park from a higher vantage point! The 41 mining pools are as green as jade, pure and beautiful. Danmei feels like it's 'a piece of jade fallen from the heavens, turning into a clear pool in the land of Chongqing.'

Danmei mainly visited Pit No. 11, which is very large. Whether viewed from afar or up close, the scenery is stunning. There are also stalls selling cold noodles and jelly desserts nearby where you can rest.

Apparently, this area will be developed into three themed parks in the future: Mining Wonders Expo Park, Mining Joyful Park, and Mining Peach Blossom Paradise. We're really looking forward to it!

Surrounded by sheer cliffs and deep emerald waters, there's a sense of lonely beauty here. The bizarre peaks and steep cliffs, carved into various shapes by natural forces, stand silently. I found a kind of majestic beauty reminiscent of the mountains and valleys of the Western Sichuan Plateau.

This house on Yufeng Mountain—called 'Starry Night Chat Rural Tavern B&B'—looks just like a fairy-tale forest town from Hayao Miyazaki's movies! It's absolutely stunning for photos.

The owner, who has traveled to many countries around the world, has filled this house with treasures collected from all over the globe. It's a small establishment combining a B&B, a tavern, and a restaurant. Standing on the second-floor balcony, you see endless clear skies—so healing!

Other small corners of the B&B are also great for photos. It's perfect for having coffee or a meal. Several of us spent a long time taking pictures here. The house is really beautiful, and we were reluctant to leave. We didn't stay overnight, but next time we'll definitely book a room.

When you're on Yufeng Mountain, you must try the Sichuan pepper chicken. Not far from the B&B, there's a very authentic Chongqing-style pepper chicken place called Guixiangyuan Pepper Chicken. It's incredibly popular. When we arrived, it was just meal time, and there were many people waiting in line.

But their food is really good. The chicken is tender, numb and spicy, perfectly seasoned, not dry at all—absolutely satisfying to eat.

What's it like to play golf in a forest? This golf base on Yufeng Mountain, called 'Camping Golf,' is something I've always wanted to try. The venue is unique, surrounded by lush forests, giving it a great atmosphere.

There are several golfing areas of different sizes. When we went, there were plenty of empty spaces, so we could start playing freely! I wasn't very good at it, but the coach patiently guided me. However, the ground isn't very flat, making it more challenging and difficult than regular golf.

When playing, the sunlight filters through the gaps in the branches, and it never feels too hot. Sometimes a breeze blows, making it even more pleasant.

I really love this place. After golfing, you can rest in a hammock. Whether you come with friends or family, it's an excellent choice.

There's also an RV campground here. After playing golf, our group took a tour, and it's really beautiful! The RVs are comfortable too!

The facilities are complete, and both adults and kids had a blast. I really like this forest, and it's also great for photos!

After an hour of camping golf, we went to the last stop of the day—the Jungle Crossing Outdoor Adventure Park. This is an outdoor sports project combining adventure, sports, entertainment, and challenges.

It's divided into Blue Line, Red Line, and Black Line, each with different difficulty levels. You can choose according to your ability. I played the Blue Line, which is probably the easiest.

High-altitude adventures, crossing swinging wooden stakes, climbing vertical rocks, and traveling through the trees—truly experiencing the fun of jungle traversal!

Even though the Blue Line is the least difficult, I was still a bit nervous after finishing one round. The whole experience was thrilling and exciting. Enjoying the forest scenery while doing it was so satisfying.

This place isn't just for adults; it's also suitable for families with children. There are obstacle courses designed for parents and kids to complete together. During the process, parents and children overcome difficulties together, which not only exercises the kids but also strengthens the parent-child bond.

After finishing the jungle crossing, we headed back home! This one-day trip to Yubei was packed with activities, but we all had a great time. It gave me a new understanding of Yubei—I never expected there to be so many places to play!

For a weekend getaway not too far away, I hope this Yubei itinerary can serve as a reference for everyone.
