Chongqing: Tiankeng Village and Wu River Tour

Chongqing's Tiankeng Village, located in Xingxing Village, Xiannvshan Town, Wulong District, is a unique scenic area that combines natural beauty with cultural charm. It is home to two unparalleled sister sinkholes—the Middle and Lower Shiyuan Sinkholes—where the Tujia and Miao ethnic minorities live. These indigenous people have been farming the land for generations, leading a self-sufficient lifestyle. Tiankeng Village is not only breathtakingly beautiful with its misty clouds, birdsong, and fragrant flowers, but it is also a hub for intangible cultural heritage, showcasing the rich folk customs and traditional culture of the Tujia and Miao people. As the location for the second season of Hunan Satellite TV's 'Where Are We Going, Dad?', Tiankeng Village has attracted countless tourists to explore and experience the pastoral farming life and the strong ethnic culture. Chongqing's Wu River, the largest tributary on the southern bank of the upper Yangtze River, runs through the central and northeastern parts of Guizhou and joins the Yangtze River at Hongdu in Chongqing. Originating from the eastern foothills of the Wumeng Mountains in Weining County, Guizhou, it traverses the regions of Guizhou and Chongqing. The river not only has abundant water volume and a stable flow but is also an important waterway in Guizhou, known as the 'Golden Waterway'. The Wu River basin is rich in resources, with numerous ancient towns and temples along its banks, and a profound cultural heritage. Along the Wu River, tourists can enjoy the magnificent canyon scenery, experience the unique culture of ethnic groups such as the Tujia and Miao, and feel the charm of nature and the warmth of humanity.
