Chongqing

Dive into the 8D Mountain City

Chongqing, a major metropolis in southwestern China, is the economic and cultural hub of the upper Yangtze River region as well as a key logistics and manufacturing center in inland China. In recent years, Chongqing has been recognized as one of China's fastest-growing cities and a vital link in the Belt and Road Initiative.
However, the rapid pace of urbanization and modern development has never overshadowed the rich historical legacy and unique mountainous character of the city. The majestic atmosphere of old Chongqing, as you can imagine, will amaze you while you are wandering through the stilted houses of Hongya Cave, cruising the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers, and exploring the ancient town of Ciqikou.
Of course, Chongqing has much more to offer than just scenic spots: fiery hotpot, vibrant nightlife along the riverside, hiking through the forested hills of Wulong, and experiencing the daily life of its passionate locals.

Visual Spectacles

Hongyadong Folklore Area: When the lights are turned on at night, this group of stilted buildings built on the mountain looks like a scene from Hayao Miyazaki's animation "Spirited Away". It is a must-visit landmark in Chongqing.

Liziba Light Rail Station: Witness the spectacle of “light rail passing through buildings” and feel the perfect integration of Chongqing’s transportation design and mountain city landforms.

Yangtze River Cableway: Take this "sky bus" and fly over the Yangtze River to enjoy the magnificent skyline of the Yuzhong Peninsula from a unique perspective.

Cultural Pulse

Ciqikou Ancient Town: Stroll through the ancient streets and alleys along the Jialing River, taste authentic snacks, and feel the bustling atmosphere of Chongqing.

The Third Trail of Mountain City: Hiking this old road built on the cliff is the best way to experience the original atmosphere of Chongqing’s “climbing up hills and mountains”.

Culinary Adventure

Chongqing Hot Pot: The soul of your Chongqing trip! Boil hairy tripe and yellow throat in the rolling Jiugongge red oil pan, and experience the ultimate excitement of spicy and delicious food.

Street food: Don’t miss Chongqing noodles, hot and sour noodles, and Chuan Chuan Xiang, which constitute the city’s most daily and charming flavors.

Sichuan Opera

In Chongqing, Sichuan Opera perfectly blends with the city’s bold, fiery and straightforward character. You can enjoy authentic performances at specialized theaters such as Chongqing Sichuan Opera Art Center. When the sonorous gongs and drums sound and joys and sorrows are performed on the stage, you will feel that this is not just watching a play, but also tasting the Chongqing people's clear-cut love and hate, humorous and open-minded attitude towards life.
