About this place
A rugged, atmospheric ancient tea-horse road paved with stones worn smooth by centuries of foot traffic, entirely canopied by the massive intertwining roots and branches of 800-year-old banyan trees.
Drifter says
"This is where locals come on weekends to escape the city's intensity. The best time to arrive is early morning when mountain mist still hangs in the canopy. Halfway up, sit down on a plastic stool at a roadside vendor and order a bowl of chilled red sugar bingfen — that combination of shade, cool air and cold jelly is Chongqing summer distilled into a single moment."
