Sanna Town sits in Yubei District, a 30-minute drive north of central Chongqing. Wrapped by hills and next to a winding river, this hidden gem feels worlds away from the city buzz. To get here, you can:

  • By bus: Line 617 or 634 drops you a 5-minute walk from the main entrance.
  • By car: Punch “Sanna Town” into your GPS—the roads are narrow but scenic. Parking is free near the visitor center.
  • By bike: Rent one in Chongqing proper and pedal along the riverside path (flat and shaded!).

Natural Scenery: Hills, Water, and Sky

Sanna Town’s charm starts with its landscapes. Imagine rolling green hills dotted with wildflowers in spring, a river so clear you can spot fish swimming, and skies that turn pink at sunset. A wooden bridge arches over the water, perfect for photos. Walk up the hillside trails, and you’ll find secret spots where you can hear birds singing and feel the cool breeze. The best view? A lookout point where the river curves like a silk ribbon through the valley.

This isn’t just about nature—Sanna Town has soul! The town blends old-school Chinese farmhouses with colorful European-style cottages. You’ll see:

  • Stone walls covered in moss, telling stories of generations past.
  • Art studios where locals paint Chongqing’s mist-covered mountains.
  • A tiny church with stained-glass windows, popular for wedding photos. During festivals, Sanna Town comes alive with dragon dances, handcraft stalls, and food markets. Even on regular days, the laid-back vibe makes you slow down.
