When Chongqing city is tightly wrapped by the autumn tiger, the 40℃ high temperature makes people unbearably hot. At this time, a cool place in the distance seems to be calling, that is Tianyi Valley in Huaying Mountain, Guang'an, Sichuan. Driving 90 kilometers from the main city of Chongqing, in less than two hours, it is like escaping from a steamer and breaking free from the shackles of the heat. Upon arriving at Tianyi Valley, the first thing that comes into view is a large parking lot that can accommodate hundreds of cars. For only 10 yuan parking fee, you can start this cool journey with peace of mind. Walking towards the ticket center of the scenic area, on-site tickets are 85 yuan per person, and online pre-purchase can save 5 yuan. Seniors aged 65 and above with ID cards and children under 1.2 meters in height can enter for free. After buying the tickets, on the few hundred meters journey from the ticket center to the ticket checkpoint, there are vendors selling various water play tools, sun protection equipment, snacks, iced watermelon, and drinking water, which can be chosen as needed. Entering the scenic area, after the ticket check, two waterfalls unfold like a picture scroll. The welcoming waterfall, tens of meters high and wide, rushes down, with thousands of water splashes and mist, attracting people to play in the water and take photos, becoming a popular check-in spot. Not far away, the Dusting Waterfall, formed by a huge mountain spring, flows continuously throughout the year, resembling a white duster. Continuing forward, the Old Dragon Pool Waterfall's water curtain hangs down all year round, forming a deep pool when the water meets the deep stream, unfathomable. There is a cave on the pool wall, sometimes making sounds like a dragon's low chant. The Thousand-Foot Waterfall flows straight down from the thousand-foot cliff, falling into the deep pool in the canyon, bringing a thrilling yet refreshing feeling with its high drop. The Ground Fissure Canyon, as the most intact fault fissure preserved in Tianyi Valley, is jagged and strange, with torrents cascading layer by layer in the mountain stream, stretching for hundreds of meters, forming countless flying waterfalls and green pools, a geological wonder. At the end of the scenic area, in the Tianxin Cave, the cave river is even more astonishing. At the entrance of the cave, a natural Buddha statue - a rare stone stalagmite in the world, naturally formed by water droplets calcifying over billions of years. Inside the cave, the dark river surges, and at the end of the cave, a waterfall accompanied by strong light falls from the sky, straight to the bottom of the pool, like thousands of horses galloping, majestic and magnificent, worthy of being the first cave river in Asia. In addition, stream descending is the only recreational activity in the scenic area. At the downstream end, put on the equipment, walk 15 minutes to the upstream starting point, play in the water along the stream, and walk down, with three platforms for diving along the way, the whole experience takes 2-3 hours. Huaying Mountain Tianyi Valley, with its clear mountains and waters, has more than 100 waterfalls and dozens of caves, with countless places to get into the water along the way. When you come here to play, don't forget to bring a pair of sandals or wading shoes, let the children catch shrimps and play with water guns in the stream, and fully enjoy this cool and pleasant time.

Tianyi Valley, formerly known as Longxu Gully, also called Huaying Mountain Grand Canyon, is located at Ganba Township, Linshui County, Guang'an, on the southern foothills of the main peak of Huaying Mountain. It is a 4A scenic area, 85km away from Chongqing city area. The altitude of the scenic area ranges from 400m to 1000m. Within the 3km long canyon, more than 60 karst springs and caves have been discovered, as well as over 40 large waterfalls, among which ten are as high as a hundred meters. The waterfalls, karst caves, and springs are the three wonders of Tianyi Valley, which is known as 'Asia's number one cave river in the sky'. Tianyi Valley gathers the waters of thousands of peaks and gorges of Huaying Mountain into one stream, which, after meeting the fracture layer of the karst topography, forms a geological spectacle. The canyon is crisscrossed with ravines, fissures, caves, and hidden rivers leading to deep pools, adding endless mystery and charm to the gorge. A waterfall welcomes guests at the entrance to the scenic area; a natural waterfall directly opposite the main gate, tens of meters high, cascades down, stirring up thousands of snowflakes, as if greeting visitors; next to the waterfall stands a stele inscribed with 'Huaying Mountain Tianyi Valley'.

Huaying Mountain, the summit of the Sichuan Basin, stands between heaven and earth, with an altitude of 1704 meters. The natural scenery here is like a delicate landscape painting, with verdant peaks and misty clouds, as if it were a fairyland on earth. Dense green vegetation covers every inch of the mountain rock, making the entire mountain area a vibrant 'natural oxygen bar'. Here, you can take a deep breath, feel the freshness in the air and the rhythm of nature, and experience the tranquility far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

🏞️ Tianyi Valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a 4000-meter-long karst fracture fissure at its center, which is part of the downstream valley of the Longxu River. At the bottom of the mountain gorge, there is a cave, where a huge cave formation resembles a dragon palace, and within it, a giant stalactite looks strikingly like a Buddha. The main attractions of the Tianyi Valley scenic area are the caves and the various waterfalls, especially the 'Celestial River' waterfall group formed by nearly a kilometer of cascading falls, which is a natural wonder. The Dusting Waterfall, located at the entrance of the scenic area, with its narrow top and wide bottom, resembles a pure white duster, as if to welcome and cleanse visitors. Crossing the stone stair bridge under the Dusting Waterfall to the opposite side of the river and walking less than a hundred meters forward, you will reach the Shimen Pass, a narrow crevice that only allows one person to pass through at a time, truly a strategic point that 'one man can hold against ten thousand'. 📷 Huaying Mountain's Tianyi Valley is a geological wonder formed by the confluence of the waters from thousands of peaks and ravines of Huaying Mountain with the karst fracture fissure.
