An Urban Adventure through Cho

An Urban Adventure through Chongqing’s Iconic Spots 🏮🚡🍜
Get ready for a full sensory feast in Chongqing! From the neon-lit maze of Hongya Cave, the thrilling heights of the Yangtze River Cableway, to the historic charms of Ciqikou Ancient Town, this itinerary stitches together the city’s best vibes—perfect for foodies, photographers, and urban explorers.

Start at Hongya Cave (No. 88, Binjiang Road, Jialing River, Yuzhong District), open 24/7, with its jaw-dropping stilted buildings and riverside glow. Must-do: wander every floor for local snacks and quirky shops; head to the 4F/5F terraces just before sunset for panoramic city and river shots (especially when neon signs flicker on!).

Hop to the Yangtze River Cableway (No. 4 Shangxin Street, Nan'an District; 08:00–22:00, winter closes 1 hour earlier; ¥30) for a classic sky-high city crossing. Tip: Go earlier in the day or after 6PM to dodge the long lines. Don’t forget to snap photos through the cable car window—capturing the sprawling skyline and twisty river below is must-have Chongqing content.

Wrap up at Ciqikou Ancient Town, where cobblestones lead you past tea houses, street food stalls (try the spicy tofu or maoxuewang!), and picturesque alleyways. Best photo ops in the quieter corners behind main streets, where locals sip tea and play mahjong.

Efficiency hack: For time-saving, take metro Line 1 between spots. Bring cash for snacks—smaller vendors don’t always take digital payment.
