Chongqing to Border Town, 2-day weekend trip

Chongqing to Border Town, 2-day weekend trip|||[Itinerary] 1. Buy a round-trip train ticket in advance to Xiushan Station. Take the train at 4 am, and start your trip after arriving in Xiushan. The main activity is to eat. The beef mung bean noodles and stone buns are near the train station. The fried buns are really delicious! I didn't get to try the beef buns or Jia Hua buns because I went too late and they were sold out. 2. Take a slow walk around the main city and then take a bus from the main bus station to Hong'an Ancient Town, which takes about 50 minutes. After arriving, I first visited Hong'an Ancient Town. It is relatively small and there are not many people in the off-season. I prefer Chadong Ancient Town. 3. Chadong Ancient Town is really beautiful! The weather was great, and the ancient town at sunset was stunning. 4. In the evening, I was tired from walking, so I found a small bar to drink, listen to music, and enjoy the scenery. It was very relaxing. 5. The ferry is no longer available. Hong'an Ancient Town and Chadong are separated by a bridge. You can also choose to take a cruise for CNY 25 or CNY 5. 6. The homestay I chose was also good. I went to Chadong again at around 8 am to experience the morning there, which was very charming. 7. I was lucky to catch the market, which is held six times a month. It was very lively! 8. For those who like a slow-paced life, it is really an enjoyable experience. [Food] 1. The beef mung bean noodles are very cost-effective and unique. 2. The fried buns (the meat is fried), rice cakes (the filling is fried tofu and minced meat, which is very fragrant), crispy rice (with various seasonings, the crispy rice is very crispy, but it is a bit hard to chew), and glutinous rice (the difference from Guizhou glutinous rice is that there is no crispy pork, and the rice is also white) are also delicious. 3. The pickles are average, only the radish is delicious, and the other dishes are just cold dishes.
