(Chongqing Art Museum: Where the Yangtze Bleeds Ink and Steel)

Anchored in Liberation Monument’s electric storm, this isn’t just a gallery—it’s Chongqing’s dynamo of grit and grace. Soviet-era industrial bones fused with glass-cantilevered wings hover over stone steps where porters once hauled barge ropes; now tattooed cyborg-punks debate AI brushwork beside elders sketching Chongqing’s vanished hutongs with charcoal.

Scale its 10,000㎡ concrete canyon to witness:
⚙️ Revolutionary Relics: Rust-cast "Iron Soul" steelworker statues weep rivets beside VR reenactments of the 1949 Yangtze Crossing.
🖌️ Ink Alchemy: Skeins of raw silk hung from ceiling cranes—Xu Beihong’s galloping warhorses dissolve into digital fireflies.
🌉 River’s Roar: Panoramic windows frame Jialing River’s cargo dragons; at dusk, the building becomes a holographic junk-boat sailing through fog.
