🏙️ Chongqing Raffles City, YOU GOT TO VISIT THE INDOOR SAFARI!

Location:
Right at Chaotianmen, where the Yangtze and Jialing rivers meet 🌊. You can’t ask for a better spot, it’s both a shopping hub and a sightseeing landmark. Easy to get to and a must-visit if you’re in downtown Chongqing.

Vibe & Architecture:
Designed by Moshe Safdie (the same architect behind Marina Bay Sands in Singapore 🇸🇬), the futuristic towers with the “horizontal skyscraper” also called The Crystal, have become an icon of the Chongqing skyline. It feels grand, modern, and almost like stepping into a sci-fi movie set.

What to Do Inside:

🛍️ Shopping: Luxury brands, lifestyle stores, international labels, everything under one roof.

🍜 Food: Endless dining options from global chains to local favorites.

🦒 Family Fun: There’s even an indoor safari park, perfect if you’re visiting with kids. (It's a must visit!)


Highlights:

The Crystal Skywalk 🌅: Head up in the evening for stunning sunset views and watch the city light up.

The massive atrium and interior design, so spacious and photogenic 📸.


Tips:

Come late afternoon, shop and dine, then go up to catch the sunset.

The observation deck is a must, don’t skip it!

Weekends can get very crowded, so plan weekdays if you prefer it calmer.


Overall:
Raffles City is a landmark that shows off the modern, vibrant side of Chongqing. A perfect mix of shopping, sightseeing, and architecture. Definitely worth adding to your itinerary. 🌟
