Moreover, the scenic area utilizes more than 300 acres of terraced land around the cave and in the mountains to plant herbaceous, climbing, and woody plants, such as tree-shaped roses, zinnia, chrysanthemums, cherry blossoms, crape myrtle, and more than 10 varieties of flowers. When spring arrives and flowers bloom, the mountain flowers’ brilliance and purity are exceptionally fragrant and charming. After marveling at the cave’s natural wonders and the ingenuity of nature, one can also experience the softness and fragrance of a French-style town, enjoying the leisure and comfort provided by nature.


Apart from the natural wonders of the cave and the romance of the mountain flowers, the magic of Tianyan Cave and Hua Ling Scenic Area also lies in its peculiar pine trees and strange rocks scattered across the mountains. The towering and vigorous pine and cypress trees are lush and full of vitality; the various rocky forests and the resilient trees growing among the stones are also visible everywhere. A gentle breeze blows through the mountains, with the rustling of the forest and the layered waterfalls, giving the sensation of being in a tropical rainforest. However, the trees in the forest are always tall and large, with dense foliage displaying the vitality of life, like a large umbrella covering the sky, providing shade and eliminating the sweltering heat of Chongqing’s summer.


Additionally, the scenic area has tailored its activities to its forest surroundings, creating outdoor expansion projects such as forest sports, camping experiences, and real-life ‘Chicken Eating’ games. The scenic area is open from January 1st to December 31st, from 09:00 to 18:00.
