Did a one-day trip to Heishan from Chongqing. Got on a van at Nanping bus station in the morning but I think the business station is about to be closed down and move to Chongqing Sigongli bus station instead. I arrived at Wansheng and caught a bus #113 in the bus station to get to the South Gate. At the ticket office, you have an option to pay for entrance ticket, cable car, sightseeing car (which save ~6km walk), and bus ticket back to the south gate or to the visitor center in the north gate. It took me around 2-3 hours inside the valley. The view is superb! You can also enjoy walking on the floating bridge between two cliffs. After that I got off at the north gate and catch a bus #106 back to the bus station in Wansheng (the bus runs until 6:40pm) and arrived safely at Chongqing Sigongli bus station. You can finish this place within one day from Chongqing.

We didn't have a lot of time at the zoo so most of it was spent admiring the pandas. There were three young pandas and it was great to be fairly close to them and to watch them playing. The panda enclosure housed the adult pandas and we loved watching them, too. All of the pandas were chowing down on bamboo. There were red pandas as well which were also fun to watch.

6. Stilwell Museum/Former Residence of General Stilwell (Shidiwei Jiangjun Jiuju)
Overall Ratings

This museum documents an important period of China’s history with Chongqing as the wartime capital and headquarters of the Nationalists. General Stilwell played a pivitol role on behalf of the USA government keeping both the Nationalists and Communists supplied to fight the Japanese. Chongqing was bombed on 218 days resulting in heavy losses and damage to the city. Chongqing was supplied during this period by a massive airlift from India over the mountains known as the hump. In turn defended by volunteer USA fighter pilots imbedded in the Chinese airforce. Good to be reminded of a time when USA and China worked and sacrificed together for the greater good, something which the Chongqing locals have not forgotten.

Ciqikou is an old town which has now turned into a tourist spot. The street is full of shops lining at both sides selling all sorts of things from handicraft, souvenir, food to ear cleaning service. You can actually spend a whole day here if you are looking for things to shop. Just stop at each shop and savor the goodies sample, drink tea at some tea houses, pamper your ear by allowing the expert to clean it for you. Highly recommended for shoppers alike.

This area is actually beautiful in its own way. You have the museum on the one side and the Assembly hall on the other side and all the while you are surrounded by wonderful people trying to relax and soak up some culture which you do not see often in China.
