Itinerary

Stop 1

Your guide will walk you through the bustling Jiefangbei CBD to this 27.5-meter-tall monument built in 1945. Standing at the city's most iconic landmark, you'll hear the story of its historical significance as a symbol of victory and resilience.

Stop 2

Follow your guide along this cliffside alley perched above the Jialing River, where colorful murals, indie cafés, and a dramatic suspended walkway cling to the rock face. Your guide will take you to the best viewpoints for photos of the river and city skyline.

Stop 3

Your guide will lead you into what appears to be the ground floor of a building — only to reveal you're actually standing on the rooftop of a traditional Chinese pavilion hidden among modern high-rises. A surreal experience that only makes sense when your guide explains Chongqing's multi-level terrain.

Stop 4

Marvel at this grand auditorium completed in 1954 as your guide shares the fascinating design story behind its green-tiled dome and crimson columns, inspired by Beijing's Temple of Heaven and seating over 4,000 people.

Stop 5

Your guide will bring you to the perfect vantage point to watch the monorail pass directly through the 6th to 8th floors of a residential building — a world-famous spectacle that perfectly captures Chongqing's "3D city" character.

Stop 6

Eling Er Chang / Testbed2 — No. 1 Eling Main Street, Yuzhong District
Explore this 1960s printing factory turned creative hub with your guide, who will point out hidden art installations, rooftop terraces with sweeping Yangtze River views, and the exact filming locations from the hit movie "From You to My World."

Stop 7

Shancheng trails
Stroll with your guide along this hidden pedestrian trail winding through old hillside neighborhoods. As you pass centuries-old banyan trees and weathered stone walls, your guide will share stories of the local residents and the city's vanishing old-town heritage.

Stop 8

Your guide will walk you through this restored heritage block, once a steep stairway connecting the upper and lower halves of the old city. Hear tales of Chongqing's working-class roots as you explore the blend of traditional architecture and modern dining.

Stop 9

Hop aboard this legendary cable car with your guide and glide high above the Yangtze River, enjoying panoramic views of the city skyline, riverbanks, and bridges below. Built in 1987, it was once a vital commuter link between Yuzhong and Nan'an districts and is now one of Chongqing's most thrilling experiences — your guide will share its history while you take in the scenery from above.

Stop 10

Cross the river with your guide to these two atmospheric riverside neighborhoods, where historic stone buildings and restored foreign consulates line quiet lanes. Your guide will reveal the hidden stories behind each heritage site and point out the best spots to admire the city skyline across the water.

Stop 11

End your day with your guide at this breathtaking 11-story stilted house complex built into the cliff face. As thousands of golden lights flicker on at dusk, your guide will help you find the perfect angle to capture this enchanting scene, often compared to the magical world of Spirited Away.
