Itinerary
DAY 1 :  Chongqing—Jindao Gorge—Chongqing
  At 8-8:30am, our guide will pick you up at your door way. Then transfer (2-3 hour by van) to Jindao Gorges. Enjoy the beautiful farm scenery en route.

Have lunch in a local restaurant (lunch is optional, you can order. Fresh vegetables and family-made meat/sausages can be found here) before you enter Jindao Gorge.

It takes around 6 hours to hike the 9km Jindao Gorges. Your hiking starts from the Upper Gorge, then take a boat(free) through the Middle Gorge, finally is hiking in Down Gorge.
Climbing the so called “One Thousand Step Stone Stairs”, you are heading for the entrance to Jindao Gorge.
Heartbreaking spots en route include Soul-Scaring Platform, Rhino Cave(optional, named after a big stone inside), 7km man-made plank road(green trees, wild flowers and flawing crooks down your feet, looking at its two sides. Here you are down in the valley).

Around 2.:30, arrive at a Rest Bridge/Lounge. You can have a short rest here.

Continue hiking to Holy Eagle Gorge, you will look upon a waterfall before you. Cool breezes comforts your face. Stay here awhile and play with the small fishes and shrimps in the streams.

The valley is narrower and narrower as you walk on the plank road. After the famous One Thread Line, you will have a board view of the waters. Take a boat and transfer to the Middle Gorge. In the Bamboo Forests, you will encounter naughty monkeys, who are brave enough to ask you for food or snacks. (Be careful of your pockets!). They dare even stop you by sitting in the middle of the bridge!

Closer to the Down Gorge, you will see the streams down your plank road become deeper too. Some fish are swimming in the ponds.

At 5pm, your hiking in Jindao Gorge will complete as you walk out its mountain gate.

Remark:
A. We arrange the tour on Sat, because you will have almost 6-7 hours’ hiking in Jindao Gorge. You need a good rest on Sunday.

C. We advise you take a small back bag: because soon your hand will hold the handrails on the plank road; and some plank road are too narrow to pass you big bag.
D. We advise you go to the bathroom before you enter the Gorge for hiking.
