- Visit Changshou Lake. More than 203 islands and islets are distributed in the lake here and there. Stretches of shoals can also be found here. Natural reserves for wild animals have been set up here with 42 different kinds of birds, 28 sorts of waterfowls included, becoming a perfect resort for birds watching.
Changshou Lake is a man made reservoir featuring about 200 islands when viewed from above, form the chinese character 寿 , symbolizing longevity.
We can see many words with the 寿 carved on rocks and stones.
The Changshou "longevity" man statue and the "harmony" old woman state are traditional representations of the Chinese gods of longevity and immortals of harmony.
We took the tram to go round the park. Since we arrived in Chongqing, this is the hotttest day of our entire trip. Very surprisinly for April weather, the rest of our trip was very cold in Chongqing and Wulong.
As it was too hot to walk and play in the park, we decided to go to the nearby town centre for a walk and some cold drinks while waiting for our dinner at the restaurant in Changshou Lake.
Oh we did not use any apps (like Ali pay or we chat), we used cash (RMB) for our expenses throughout our trip hahaha.
Finally time for dinner, tonight dinner is a full fish bangquet, where most of the dishes are associated or made from fish ingredients.

After dinner, time to check into a new and beautiful hotel.
