In August, high temperatures hit Chongqing. According to the city’s meteorological bureau, temperatures are expected to rise slightly this week.
The hot weather makes people more inclined to stay indoors with air conditioning, but prolonged AC exposure can lead to nasal congestion, dizziness, sneezing, tinnitus, fatigue, and other symptoms due to poor air circulation and an unimproved environment. It may also cause some skin allergy symptoms, such as tight and dry skin, increased sensitivity, and deteriorated skin condition.
During hot weather, it’s important to avoid the heat by heading to places with lower temperatures and less intense sunlight. Combining cooling and recreation is a very healthy lifestyle choice.
Shenlong Gorge Scenic Area is located in Nanchuan District, Chongqing, approximately 79 kilometers from downtown Chongqing and 23 kilometers from Nanchuan city center. Covering an area of about 20 square kilometers, the scenic zone boasts extremely rich primeval vegetation, with lush greenery stretching as far as the eye can see. It is one of the closest and most pristine ecological canyons near downtown Chongqing.
Sightseeing and rafting are highlights of Shenlong Gorge. Upon entering the scenic area, visitors are greeted by various waterfalls cascading from above, and the rafting course winds through the mountains and waters. It is reported that Shenlong Gorge has introduced a 23°C water temperature guarantee — a thermometer is set up within the scenic area, and if the water temperature exceeds 23°C, visitors can receive a compensation of 50 yuan from the attraction.
