◎Tongluo Mountain Mine Park
This place was also accidentally discovered. We took the light rail line 4 to 'Shichuan', and then took a taxi. to the destination. If you take a taxi, it is particularly inconvenient to come back, there are few cars; if you take a bus, it will take at least an hour. So it is best to drive by yourself, it will be much more convenient.
The smoke on the mountain is lingering, like a fairyland on earth. The water in the mine is deep green, especially clear! The photos are super good!
Recommended route: Enter from the west gate, first look at the 7th and 8th mines, the 8th mine is very beautiful for taking pictures, there are several positions! It will be a bit far inside, it takes about 25 minutes to walk to the east gate, mines 10 to 13. You can also take a small train 30/person (round-trip ticket), here recommends the 13th mine! You can go directly to the lake to take pictures, close to nature!

One of the most worth-seeing sceneries in Chongqing city: Chongqing Little Jiuzhai.
"When you return from Jiuzhaigou, don't bother looking at any other waterfalls, for God has left a green gem on earth." Speaking of Jiuzhaigou, I believe friends who have been there have countless topics to share. But for friends who don't have time to travel, don't be disappointed. Here, we introduce a scenery that can be seen right at your doorstep, the Tongluo Mountain Mining Park, also known as the "Little Jiuzhaigou of Chongqing".
Located in Shichuan Town, Yubei District, Chongqing, Tongluoshan Mining Park was once the largest limestone mining area in Yubei. After years of mining, more than 40 huge mining pits were left behind. After years of accumulation of water, these pits gradually formed colorful "lakes". It is about 40 kilometers away from the main city and only takes an hour's drive to see the charming scenery surrounded by green grass and steep cliffs.
7-8 Pit: Near West Gate, there is a lawn for picnics.
11 12 13 pits: Near the east gate, with pit 13 closer to the water and receiving more good reviews.

Discovery! A fairy tale castle built with 'junk'
Hidden in the mountains
Various little houses made of metal
The houses are sized more for children to crawl in and out
Adults can enter too, but it will seem a bit cramped
It seems like a camping site
But
No one
The surroundings are paved with pebbles
No street lights
It looks like a castle out of a fairy tale!

⚠️Take National Highway 319 to the West Gate parking lot, definitely avoid the narrow road on Tongluo Avenue. If there are many cars, it's impossible for vehicles going up and down the mountain to pass each other. We took this narrow road and luckily went early without other cars
❤️Perfect for beginners, couples, and local trips around Chongqing. Suitable for those who like hiking
picnics, and weekend trips. Recommended to save this!
⭐Tips:
1⃣️The park has clear signs and well-maintained facilities, with many restrooms
2⃣️There are 5 open pits in the mine park, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, but only pit 13 allows access to the water's edge. The water is very deep, so safety is paramount (you can also navigate directly to pit 13, there's roadside parking)
3⃣️You can have a picnic on the lawn~
4⃣️There is a mini train operating in the park, and the trails are well maintained, suitable for children and the elderly
5⃣️There are small shops at several points in the park, so you can bring a small amount of water and snacks

7⃣️The park is mostly flat, very beginner-friendly
8⃣️Passing by pits 8, 9, 10, you'll come across a grass sea suitable for leisure and play
9⃣️It's recommended to go to pit 13 first~ Enjoy the view on the way back when the weather is good~ The water color is very beautiful

I didn't go to Western Sichuan! I'm in Chongqing!
The water here is as beautiful as a "gem"!
This is Pit No. 13 in Tongluo Mountain Mine Park.
You can go directly to the side of the water pit to take close-up photos of this "emerald" water pit. When the weather is good, the color is really too beautiful!
The whole trip is free of charge (no admission fee, no parking fee), and there are several other pits to explore. Pits No. 5 and No. 8 open earlier, and the park is already quite well-established.
Please pay attention to safety when checking in. There are no restaurants around here, so you can bring your own water and food. Please take your trash with you and check in civilly.

Not the great Northwest, but the fairyland-like Tongluo Mountain in Chongqing
Once an open-pit mining site,
it has now become a 'string of pearls' set in the Tongluo Mountains.
The various lakes of different shapes
form a beautiful glassy landscape painting,
suitable for family, couples, and trips around Chongqing.
Recommended for those who like hiking, camping, and weekend trips.
【Tongluo Mountain Mining Park】Hiking and touring guide
Located in Shichuan Town and Yufengshan Town of Yubei District, the 'colored pearls' are suitable for beginners, with basically no climbing.
You can directly reach the filming locations of pit No. 13 and No. 12 by taking the branch road at the Daoban bus station,
but parking is limited. Along the 'Moshi Highway', you will pass pits No. 8, 9, 10, and come across a grass sea, suitable for camping; you can return the same way after reaching the West Gate parking lot.
Currently, only pit No. 13 can be photographed up close📸
Travel preparations
On sunny days, pay attention to sun protection, and be careful of slippery rock roads on rainy days
Pay attention to the weather, as it can be foggy on rainy days
There are shops on the way up the mountain, so you can bring a small amount of water and snacks
Today's outfit is a color-blocked lightweight jacket
Windproof and breathable, with two layers of clothing for a comfortable and lightweight hiking experience, the design of cold grey and moss green patchwork is full of style
tips
❌No fishing, ❌No barbecuing, ❌No swimming, ❌No tents

The mountain is shrouded in mist, like a fairyland on earth. The water in the mine pits is deep green, incredibly clear! It's super photogenic!
Recommended route: Enter from the west gate, first visit pits 7 and 8. Pit 8 is very beautiful for taking photos, with several good spots! It's quite a walk inside, about 25 minutes to the east gate, pits 10 to 13. You can also take a mini train for 30 yuan per person (round-trip ticket), and here pit 13 is recommended! You can walk directly to the lakeside to take photos, and get up close with nature!

Yubei Mine Park, you can go with the navigation, no car is not recommended to travel, about an hour away from the main city! The roads are all country roads, you can feel the Chongqing outside the metropolis!
I went there last weekend. At present, the mine park is being closed. It seems that there are many people who go swimming in the summer and are afraid of danger! So now Im surrounded everywhere, I cant go down to the reservoir! Adhering to the point of coming, we climbed a small hill and took a photo!
The water is really blue, the photo is still good, I also took the drone into it and took a few shots! It is recommended that friends who want to take photos come back in the summer. If you can take pictures to the reservoir, you should look better!
But this attraction has no surrounding facilities, the road is not so good, can only take pictures!
