Location & How to Get There
White Fish Stone sits on the Jialing River in Beibei District, Chongqing, right below the slope of Wenxing Bay Tunnel. To reach this hidden gem, take Metro Line 3 to Beibei Station, then a short taxi or bike ride (around 10 minutes) to the riverside. If you’re driving, park near the tunnel entrance—just follow the signs for “Wenxing Bay” and look for the stone fish sculpture by the river!
Natural Beauty: A Riverside Gem
White Fish Stone isn’t a huge attraction, but its charm lies in simplicity. The highlight is a huge white rock shaped like a fish, sticking out from the river at low tide. During sunset, the golden light reflects on the Jialing River, making the stone glow like silver. Walk along the grassy bank to see it—there’s also a row of willow trees that looks stunning in photos, especially when the wind blows!
Culture & History: Legends of the Stone
Locals say the stone got its name because it resembles a fish leaping out of the water. Some even joke it’s a “guardian of the river”! While there’s no grand temple or ancient story, the spot feels peaceful, perfect for escaping busy city life. You’ll see families picnicking, couples taking selfies, and photographers waiting for the right light.
Practical Tips: What to Bring
There’s no ticket fee or fancy facilities, but bring comfortable shoes for walking on uneven riverbanks. Weekends get crowded, so mornings or weekdays are better. For snacks, small vendors sell noodles and tea nearby, but pack your own drinks if you plan to stay longer.
Sunset Magic: Best Time to Visit
Personally, I’d recommend visiting White Fish Stone around 5 PM. Watch the sun sink behind the mountains, turning the river into a canvas of orange and pink. The stone becomes a silhouette against the sky—trust me, your Instagram followers will love it! Just be careful of muddy spots after rain.
Nearby Extras: Combine Your Trip
After seeing White Fish Stone, walk 10 minutes to Wenxing Bay Bridge for a panoramic view of the river. Or head to Beibei Old Street for spicy hotpot—Chongqing’s specialty! Either way, this spot makes a perfect chilled-out stop on a Chongqing adventure.
