Chuanhegai lies in Yongdong Township, Xiushan County, a highland plateau in the Wuling Mountains at an average elevation of about 1,200 meters. Cliffs surround its flat top, which has wide meadows, flower fields and Tujia villages, earning it the nickname 'the garden hanging in the clouds'. The mountain road climbing from the Hong'an direction covers about 10 km with 45 switchbacks and is a viral self-drive stretch on Douyin. On the plateau you can ride horses, camp, and watch the sea of clouds and sunsets. Summers are cool, making it a summer retreat in southeastern Chongqing. It is about 1.5 hours' drive from Youyang county seat. Driving yourself is recommended, but the tight bends call for careful driving. Admission is subject to the scenic area's announcements.
