I've been sporadically shooting in Chongqing for over a year. To find shooting spots, I scoured Xiaohongshu and believe I've basically covered all the well-known Japanese-style shooting locations in Chongqing. When I had some free time, I summarized the places I've shot at. Hope this helps you.
-------------------------------

p2: Daxigou - I feel this is where most people know me from. The JK outfit photos I took here last October still get a lot of likes. This place is truly a rare shooting location. Staff inside won’t stop you from shooting. The buildings outside are also very photogenic.
p3: Chongqing Little Kamakura (Chongqing West Vehicle Depot) - Quite far from downtown, no public transport available, only taxis. There are many vehicles, so be careful!
p4: Tongyuanju Metro Station - Seems to be Exit 2. The corridor bridge outside is very suitable for Japanese-style shots. In the afternoon, sunlight can shine in. Before getting off work, this exit isn’t crowded, so you can shoot freely.
p5: Tongshan Bridge - A reservoir discovered by chance. The traffic there is also poor, basically no taxis available. Note that the sunlight is front lighting; it’s recommended to shoot before sunset.
p6: Yidu Ancient Town Parking Lot - Few cars on the top floor, and it really feels very Japanese. Shooting from below looking up can capture beautiful skies.
p7: Feibai Private Kitchen - The most famous Japanese-style shooting spot. Actually, it’s just an old street with a few shops hanging slightly Japanese-style signs, and sunlight doesn’t really come in.
p8: Sichuan Foreign Language Small Railway (Agricultural Materials Company) - Also a well-known check-in spot. This place is quite good for shooting. Sometimes you can even catch flowers. The tunnel is long, so no worries about crowds. The light coming in is still very beautiful.
p9: Railway Fourth Village - Lots of graffiti. Hygiene is questionable, but otherwise it’s okay.
p10: Jinshan Yiku - The whole park is very Japanese-style. The rooftop is one of the few places you can still access now. Shooting "Love Like the Rain Stops" at night, security won’t stop you.
p11: Beicang Cultural and Creative Park - A park with rich colors, suitable for walking and shooting. It tests photography composition skills.
p12: Lijiatuo Ferry - You can see a very beautiful lighthouse and also go through the wall to the seaside to play in the water (note there’s a lot of mud). The sunset here is especially beautiful.
p13: Ocean Park - These parks in Chongqing feel quite similar. There are many people, so it’s recommended to go before closing time. Don’t use flash.
p14: Times Tianjie - Also a place suitable for walking and shooting, which further tests photography composition and framing.
p15: Dahua Trail (Half Cliff Line) - Near the place where the train to spring departs. Actually, it’s a big front-lit spot, so it’s hard to shoot well. When we went, there was renovation next door with constant moving of things.
p16: Feihu Hotpot - Also a classic one-photo check-in spot. Line 2 trains come about every 4 minutes. Looks good both day and night.
p17: Tianfu No.1 Kindergarten - Chongqing Feixu’s top recommended food spot. In August, a film crew shot here and damaged some areas, but it doesn’t diminish its greatness.
p18: Laijiaqiao - A place that looks very much like a country lane. Be careful of passing vehicles and remember to avoid them.

Finally, a reminder to everyone: safety first. Wishing you all to take photos you are satisfied with.
