Chongqing during National Day

Chongqing during National Day is a lively destination bursting with energy, history, and modern attraction. When searching for a place to stay, I highly recommend FunGee欢致江景酒店（重慶洪崖洞解放碑步行街店）— not just because of its unbeatable location right next to Hongya Cave, but also for its uniquely thoughtful services which really saved my trip during a very busy holiday.

Location & Convenience
FunGee is situated on the 21st floor of GaoSheng ChuangFu Center C Block (滨江路113号高盛创富中心c栋21楼), just a stone’s throw from the iconic Hongya Cave and a couple of minutes' walk to Jiefangbei pedestrian street. I loved how easy it was to reach top Chongqing spots on foot—even during the national golden week when the streets were crowded. The hotel has a direct entrance to 22nd-floor Kui Xing Tower, making sightseeing seamless and avoiding much of the street congestion.

Room & Facilities
What stood out for me was the smart room setup: voice-controlled devices, complimentary minibar, and welcome treats like popcorn, ice cream, and late-night porridge offered every night. Rooms are spotlessly clean, and the view from the window over the Jialing River is simply dreamy—especially at sunset after a day battling the national holiday crowds.

Family, couples, and solo travelers will all feel at home here. There’s a free laundry and dryer service—perfect if you're traveling for several days and want to refresh during your trip. The breakfast is a highlight, served all the way until 1pm, so you never have to rush after a late night out. The freshly made Chongqing noodle dishes earned special praise from guests, and I agree!

Service
The service team are swift, welcoming, and go out of their way to help with anything—from quick room requests to offering travel tips on how to avoid peak-times at scenic spots. Check-in and check-out are efficient, which really matters when crowds in the city are at their busiest.

Final Tips & National Holiday Travel Guide
Chongqing’s Hongya Cave area is extremely popular, especially during National Day—expect very heavy crowds at night with peak wait times just for entering some viewing spots. My top tip is to book a riverside room at FunGee for relaxing city and river views without having to push through the crowds for a photo. For popular attractions, go early in the morning or late at night to avoid queues, and consider using the hotel’s direct access pathways wherever possible.

In general, make hotel bookings well ahead of holidays, ask the staff for travel hacks, and don’t forget to enjoy the city’s unique cuisine—FunGee’s breakfast is a great start.
