If you like history and local customs, this is one of those places to visit to explore something off the tourist route. We were in the Xiushan area for an extra day so our guide brought us here. We weren't sure if our kids would like it, but they enjoyed it (9 year old and 12 year old). It was December so it was a little drizzly, but nothing an umbrella couldn't fix. Be warned this is not Shanghai or Beijing, but that's not what we wanted. We didn't know anything about this area of China, but everyone was very friendly. Since it was winter (and not tourist season), it was very quiet, which we appreciated. At one point, we noticed a group playing some kind of card game in the streets but not using any cards we recognized. And they were kind enough to explain to us what they were playing. We liked watching some of the locals fish, cross the stone bridge (which I wouldn't let my daughter do), and cook outside. The wooden architecture was very impressive. And we enjoyed riding the ferry (and realizing the ferryman was pulling the boat by a line, not a paddle). There wasn't a lot of stores, but we ended up buying most of our Chinese souvenirs here because they were very unique to the area and not things we saw in Shanghai or Chongqing. The lunch we had was good. Since it was on the river, the fish was extremely fresh. I was worried about the public restrooms, but they were very clean and modern. There was a lot of construction still going on when we went, so I'm not sure what development is in the works. Our guide told us that during "market days" or "festival days" it's much more crowded. So, we're actually glad we came when it wasn't a popular time since we could explore the whole area. If you're looking for modern excitement or fast paced adventure, this probably isn't going to be that exciting. But if you like soaking up local culture off the beaten path, then this is a good side trip.See more..

3.5Chongqing Bizika Green Palace(2 reviews) - 避暑 Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Amusement & Theme Parks 家里在黄水镇有避暑房,小区就挨着毕兹卡绿宫。因为是业主可以免费进去。里面大树参天,非常凉爽。里面不大,适合在林子里的吊床小睡。但景区到处都有广播放着低俗的土家风情音乐,吵的人不得安宁!根本睡不安稳嘛!See more..

3.0Tongliang Museum(1 review) - Not a lot to see but... Speciality Museums
This museum was built to display artifacts unearthed locally, principally when they created a new reservoir in 1976. They rescued Tongliang's very own terracotta soldiers! Found in a Ming dynasty tomb of a local person of some eminence. Nothing so grand or impressive as those in the emperors tomb in Xi an as these are only 9" high, but nevertheless a good example of burial practises in feudal times. The museum advertises the "world famous Tongliang dragon lantern" but that display was not ready for the public yet! All the exhibits are labelled bilingually so if you have nothing to do for an hour or so why not give the museum a try?See more..
