After rainy days, Chongqing has ushered in hotter days with a continuous sense of summer, but not hot enough to drip with sweat. It’s about 20°C these days with a pleasant climate, how could we refuse such good weather? It’s so romantic to breathe the fresh air at the top of the mountain and have a nap on a hammock in the forest when tired, what a comfortable and enjoyable life it will be!
Yunzhuan Mountain is an excellent choice to hang a hammock and put up a tent among the tall and dense woods, although it’s located in the urban area. Vast fields of farmland and blooming lotus flowers are a feast for the visitors to the mountain, who can also go to Yunzhuan Temple on the way to burn incense.
