Chongqing has many popular camping spots, but there are also many places with stunning scenery that are less crowded. So, where are some of these off-the-beaten-path camping spots? Here are a few recommendations for you to explore in Chongqing!
1、Wansheng · Lion’s Slot Grassland
Wansheng Lion’s Slot is a breathtakingly beautiful off-the-beaten-path destination. From the mountaintop, you can not only admire Swiss-like scenery but also enjoy free views of the Black Mountain Valley. However, this route is slightly self-abusive and the conditions are harsh.
The Lion’s Slot Grassland is surrounded by five or six small mountain peaks, enclosing a vast expanse of green grassland. On the opposite mountain, there is also a spring with clear and sweet water. Here, you can use the earth as your bed and the moon as your companion, forgetting your worries and sorrows in the natural oxygen bar of nature.
