Location & Transportation

Jiufeng Mountain Scenic Area sits in Jinfeng Town, Jiulongpo District, Chongqing—a 1.5-hour drive from downtown Chongqing. The address is Baihe Village, Jinfeng Town, so you can easily search for it on maps. To get there, you can take the metro to Xipengyou Station, then transfer to a local bus (Bus 486 or 493) toward Jinfeng Town. If driving, follow the signs to “Jinfeng Agricultural Park” and park near the entrance.

Natural Highlights: Spring Blossoms & Magic Pools

Jiufeng Mountain is famous for its springtime pear blossoms, with over 1,000 acres of white flowers covering the hills like snow. Every March, the Jinfeng Pear Blossom Festival draws crowds to admire the stunning landscape. The century-old pear orchards are a highlight—these ancient trees produce sweet, yellow pears that visitors can taste. Beyond flowers, the area has nine colorful “Yao Pools” (fairy pools) hidden in the forest. Their waters change hues by the season, shifting from turquoise to emerald, creating a mystical vibe.

Cultural Treasures: History Meets Nature

After enjoying nature, explore the Huilong Bay Buddhist Carvings, ancient stone statues carved into a cliff. Nearby, the Zhaizi Slope Earthen Wall offers a glimpse of old military defenses. History lovers can also visit the Qing Dynasty Tombs at Fujia Slope or the poet Bai Hua’s former home, a humble cottage frozen in time. These spots let you connect Chongqing’s rural past with its natural beauty.

Practical Tips: What to Bring

The area is pedestrian-friendly but hilly, so wear comfy shoes! Spring (March–April) is prime time, but summer brings lush greenery. Bring sunscreen, water, and a camera—the pear gardens and pools are Instagram gold. For food, try local farm-to-table dishes at village eateries; fresh pears, dried fruits, and hotpot are must-tries.

Stay & Facilities

Day trips work best, but budget travelers can stay at nearby homestays (like Jingfeng Farmhouse) or drive 30 minutes to Chongqing’s suburbs for more hotels. The scenic area has clean restrooms, picnic areas, and signposted trails. English guides aren’t common, but basic map signs are available.

Why Visit Jiufeng Mountain?

It’s the perfect mix of flowers, forests, and history—without the crowds of Chongqing’s core attractions. Whether you’re a nature lover, a culture buff, or someone who wants to escape the city, Jiufeng Mountain offers a calm, colorful escape. Just remember: come early to avoid weekend rushes, and don’t miss the sunset views over the pear valley!
