Come walk with me through the urban jungle of Chongqing 🏙️ This city carves its own identity with serious river views, mega-tall buildings, and surprise pockets of local flavor. If you love dramatic cityscapes, neon-lit nights, and quirky engineering feats, Chongqing will blow your mind!
Top Spots to Visit - Must-See Places 🚶♂️
1. Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street (Surrounding area of Jiefangbei, Yuzhong District, open all day)
This lively commercial hub mixes local boutiques, epic street snacks, and huge shopping malls. Go early evening for the best energy and even better people-watching! My tip: Check out the nearby alleys for authentic noodle shops — pricey restaurants aren’t worth it.
2. Hongya Cave (No. 88, Binjiang Road, Jialing River, Yuzhong District, open all day)
Iconic for its multi-level, stilted buildings right on the river. Come at sunset for unbeatable photos with twinkling lights. Warning: gets crowded fast! Head to the highest floor for panoramic city snaps, and don’t miss grilled skewers from street vendors 🎇
3. Liziba Station (Liziba Metro Station, Yuzhong District, 06:30-23:16 weekdays/06:37-23:17 weekends)
The viral monorail-through-building spot! It’s easy to get here by Metro Line 2. Time your visit for a passing train to nail the perfect “head through the wall” pic.
Getting Around:
Metro is king. Super reliable, cheap, and saves you from the city’s traffic. Grab a metro card when you arrive and top up as you go!
Food Recs:
Try spicy hotpot at spots near Jiefangbei or late-night street food at Hongya Cave. Always ask for “微辣” (less spicy) if you’re not a heat fan!
Chongqing Tips:
Spring/fall weather is ideal, bring light layers. No visa-on-arrival — sort your Chinese visa in advance. Mobile payments are everywhere, but cash still works for most small eats.
