If any city truly embodies "three-dimensionality" and "passion," it's Chongqing!
Here, navigation fails, the street is upstairs, the subway is downstairs, hot pot is standard, and the night view is iconic—everything is simply intoxicating!
🗓️ Trip Highlights:
📌 Day 1: First Impressions of the Magical Mountain City
Arriving at Hongyadong Cave in Chongqing, I was truly stunned by the night lights!
Strolling and eating casually on Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street, I opted for the "Nine-Grid Hot Pot" for supper! (If you prefer spicy food, order it mildly.)
Stayed in a hotel by the Jialing River, the view of the city silhouetted against the night sky was truly romantic!
📌 Day 2: Experience the magic of the "8D City"
Walk through Ciqikou Ancient Town, soaking in the urban atmosphere and enjoying a bowl of hot and sour noodles.
The Liziba Light Rail crossing a building is a must-see! (The light rail passes through the building—not an animation, but real!)
Take the Yangtze River Cableway from Yuzhong to Nan'an and experience the thrill of soaring through the city.
Take a taxi to the Yikeshu Observation Deck on Nanshan Mountain in the evening for a panoramic view of Chongqing's nightscape. Enjoy the breeze—super worth it!
📌 Day 3: Brunch and final photo ops
Have a Chongqing noodles for breakfast 🌶️
If you have more time, explore Baigongguan/Zhazidong and learn about their revolutionary history.
Before leaving, pick up some souvenirs: spicy beef jerky, hot pot base, and mountain chili peppers. Done!
📷 Must-see travel photos:
✅ Hongyadong at night (recommended after 7:00 PM)
✅ Liziba Light Rail passing through a building
✅ Jiefangbei under the street lights
✅ The Yangtze River Cableway cable car view
✅ The Nanshan night view is truly cinematic!
🌟 Travel Tips:
✔️ The mountain city has complex terrain, so we recommend a combination of taxis and walking. Don't rely solely on navigation. 😂
✔️ The weather is unpredictable, so bring an umbrella and wear comfortable shoes!
✔️ Chongqing people are warm and forthright, and are incredibly easy to get along with, whether asking for directions or buying things.
💬 Chongqing is truly unique.
Magic and fireworks coexist, and fashion and street style blend.
If you haven't been yet—you must!
