Featured destination
Start with Chongqing
Chongqing is our first complete city guide. Start with three representative stops, then open the full guide for routes, places to stay and transport advice.
Yuzhong District
Hongya Cave
Worth visiting for the exterior night view and riverfront context; the interior is less important than the skyline angle.

Yuzhong District
Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street
Worth visiting as the practical base for a first trip, not as a single monument that needs a long standalone visit.

Shapingba District
Ciqikou Ancient Town
Worth visiting for a slower old-town contrast to Yuzhong, but go early and leave the main strip when crowds peak.

2 full days
Chongqing 2 Days
This two-day plan keeps the first day in central Yuzhong and uses the second day for Liziba plus either Ciqikou or the south-bank riverfront. It is deliberately flexible around queues and weather.

Chongqing 3 Days
Three days lets you separate Chongqing's most crowded night landmarks from its slower neighbourhood walks. Day one stays central, day two uses the metro for Liziba and Ciqikou, and day three crosses the river for the cableway and Longmenhao.
