Qiansimen Bridge (Jiangbei District, Chongqing, open 24/7 year-round)
Qiansimen Bridge is the ultimate spot for panoramic Hongyadong photos! Its modern design spans the Jialing River. Especially at night, the dazzling lights of Hongyadong and the bridge complement each other beautifully, creating stunning photos in seconds. Arrive early to secure a good spot and soak in the river breeze and the vibrant nightlife along the bridge.
Practical Tip: The bridge is open 24/7 year-round, but visiting after 7:30 PM for the best night views is recommended. Bring a tripod to maximize your photos.

FunGee Riverview Hotel (21st Floor, Building C, Goldman Sachs Chuangfu Center, 113 Binjiang Road)
This hotel's location truly boasts a double bonus: being right next to Hongyadong and offering stunning views of the Jialing River. It's just a few minutes' walk from Jiefangbei and Kuixing Tower. The rooms are smart, with voice-controlled lighting and air conditioning. They also come with complimentary drinks, a mini-fridge, popcorn, ice cream, and night porridge, among other thoughtful amenities—perfect for those who enjoy a little bit of a ritual! 🛏️ The hotel is clean and comfortable, and the night view outside is absolutely breathtaking. Best of all: the free laundry and drying service completely relieves fatigue from long journeys. Breakfast is open until 1 PM, and freshly prepared Chongqing noodles are available, so you can laze in without missing out.

Guest tip: Some room types could use improvement in soundproofing and cleanliness. It's recommended to confirm with the hotel when booking that the room type is as advertised.

It's perfect for families, couples, and urban adventurers, whether you're visiting Hongya Cave or just wanting to enjoy a relaxing evening by the Jialing River!

Practical Tips
Transportation Tips: The hotel is conveniently located right next to Hongya Cave, with easy access to the subway and highway networks, making Uber and public transportation a breeze. (We recommend planning your route in advance, as taxis may require a wait during peak hours.)
Food Tip: The freshly cooked Chongqing noodles served with breakfast are already excellent. We recommend walking to the nearby Jiefangbei Food Street to try some local Chongqing snacks: hot and sour noodles, spicy skewers, tofu pudding, jelly noodles, and other authentic options.
Photography Tip: The best time to take panoramic photos of Hongyadong from Qiansimen Bridge is in the late afternoon and evening. From the 22nd floor of the hotel or from your room window, you can also capture the Jialing River and the city at night. Bring a wide-angle lens for even more breathtaking night views!

Extended Tip: I highly recommend taking panoramic photos of Hongyadong from Qiansimen Bridge! The interplay of the city's nightscape and the river flowing beneath the bridge creates a magical atmosphere. However, there can be a lot of crowds at night, so be careful and keep your valuables close to you. While the hotel's soundproofing may be a little lacking, its location, service, and amenities are excellent. Even if you don't want to wake up early, you can still enjoy a leisurely Chongqing morning. Simply walk out the door and head straight to Hongyadong. Traveling with a tour group is better than going on your own.
