Wushan, favored by Li Bai, I went there for you
"Last night under Mount Wu, the sound of apes echoed in my dreams." With just a few words, Li Bai outlined the mystery and poetry of Wushan. Taking advantage of the holiday, I set foot on this land and stayed at the Yebai Wushan Homestay hidden in Ningjiangdu Park, spending a pleasant time. Now I will share the guide with you👇
🚗Transportation Guide
1. High-speed train: Departing from Chongqing North Station, there are nearly 20 high-speed trains every day, and you can reach Wushan Station in about 2 hours. It is recommended to take the earliest train on Saturday, so you can play longer and there may be discounts. If you don't want to get up early, you can also arrive the night before.
2. Airplane: Wushan Airport is a bit far from the city center, but there is an airport bus, which is still convenient.
3. Self-driving: The scenery along the way is beautiful, but there are many curves on the mountain road, so be careful when driving.
🏨Accommodation Recommendation - Yebai Wushan
📍Location: Located in Ningjiangdu Park, at the foot of Goddess Peak and on the bank of the Yangtze River, the location is excellent.
🏠Architecture and environment: Traditional courtyard-style folk house style, with black tiles and wooden eaves, and bluestone brick walls. The courtyard has winding paths and green grass. At night, cicadas and insects sing, which is very poetic.
🛏Rooms: There are 11 rooms in total, and the names are very artistic, like Chaoyun and Songlian. The rooms are all pure wooden furniture, with exquisite floral art, pottery and ink paintings, full of cultural atmosphere. The key is that you can see the magnificent river view and mountain city scenery when you open the window, which is great.
🍱Dining: The homestay brings Wushan local delicacies to the table, including bacon dumplings, konjac dried braised chicken, and chili dregs fried large intestine. Each dish is very distinctive, and the dishes can be adjusted according to personal taste.
