I came to Chongqing Hongya Cave and Liberation Monument to take pictures. This time I chose FunGee Joyful River View Hotel (Chongqing Hongya Cave Liberation Monument Pedestrian Street Branch) to stay for two nights, see the night view of Jialing River, and explore the nearby Yellow Garden Bridge on foot. In addition to the beautiful view room and popcorn and ice cream all you can eat, the most exciting thing is to step on the pedestrian street to find delicious food! Let's talk about the story behind the Yellow Garden Bridge, eat while walking, and feel how this bridge witnessed the urban change of Chongqing!

In addition, the room equipment is quite smart: there are voice controls, a small freezer, free drinks, popcorn, ice cream, and courteous good night porridge!

The Yellow Garden Bridge: The Story of the Urban Backbone of Chongqing
When it comes to the Yellow Garden Bridge, it is not only an important transportation hub in Chongqing, but also a witness to the development history of the connected city. The bridge spans the Jialing River, linking Yuzhong District with Jiangbei District. Since its construction, it carries thousands of Chongqing people to work, home and travel every day. Looking over from the hotel at night, the lights on the bridge reflect the river, and the whole city becomes very three-dimensional and very romantic. As one of the city’s landmarks, it is recommended to cross the bridge at night and walk the night markets on both sides of the coast. It is definitely the most direct way to feel the atmosphere of Chongqing!
