ChongqingChongqing
Chongqing is a magical 8D city that makes you question your sense of space—light rail runs through buildings, highways are built on rooftops, and GPS systems collectively fail here. The night view of the stilted houses at Hongyadong brings to mind *Spirited Away*, while the light rail passing through buildings at Liziba is a spectacle unique to China. Hot pot restaurants scattered throughout the city ensure the air is always filled with the aroma of beef tallow.

Hongyadong
Chongqing’s most photogenic scene. You must visit at night—during the day, it’s just ordinary仿古建筑, but once the lights come on at night, that’s when the magic happens. The best spot for photos is in the middle section of the Qiansimen Bridge.
Liziba Light Rail Passing Through a Building
A spectacle unique to Chongqing. Don’t just look at it from below—you have to ride Line 2 through the building yourself.
Ciqikou Ancient Town
Experience the culture of Old Chongqing’s wharf. For Chen Changyin Twisted Dough Sticks, be sure to visit the flagship store on the back street (15 yuan per jin, freshly fried); prices on the front street are twice as high.
Yangtze River Cable Car
Cross the Yangtze River via cable car—a unique perspective you can only experience in Chongqing.
Mountain City Trail
If you can only visit one place to experience old Chongqing, make it the Mountain City Trail. River views from cliffside walkways and teahouses tucked away in air-raid shelters—this is the most authentic side of Chongqing.
Liangjiang Ferry
It’s cheaper than the Yangtze River Cable Car (15 yuan vs. 20 yuan), less crowded, and offers a more complete view—you can take in the confluence of the two rivers, Hongyadong, the bridge, and the sunset all at once. Locals say the Xiaodu Ferry is a better value than the cable car.
