💡 Locals’ hidden recommendations
Transportation: Wear flat shoes! Choose Didi if you want to take a taxi, as the taxi may take a detour.
Accommodation: Near Jiefangbei, it is recommended to stay at S Hotel, which is a 10-minute walk to Hongyadong.
Niche experience: Jianchuan Museum's "Battle in the Sky" MR project, virtual battleships fighting aliens is super cool!
"The romance of Chongqing is the fireworks of the light rail passing through the building, the boiling rivers and lakes in the shelter, and the 1st floor that you meet when you turn around from the 22nd floor. There is no 8D magic that can be conquered by navigation, only surprises that come with every step."✨
