The tenth stop of visiting a city every month in 2023 - Chongqing
Arrived in Chongqing in mid-November, the changes are huge after not seeing it for ten years. I've always had a fondness for Chongqing, I really like this city full of stories, I like its unique and fantastic city layout, and I also like the movies shot here like 'Passing Your World' and so on. This trip also took the route of literary sentiment! A very fulfilling city walk, walking and watching, not tired!
🛏【Hotel Guide】
Stayed at Chongqing Holiday Riverside Hotel, a great hotel, comfortable environment, the terrace can directly see the beautiful river view, the key location is superior, opposite Hongyadong, 10 minutes out of the 3rd floor is Jiefangbei, out of the 1st floor is Hongyadong.
📆【Itinerary Guide】
Friday night: Arrived in Chongqing, it was very late, Hongyadong turned off the lights, but there were very few people on Qiansimen Bridge, super photogenic.
First day:
Shibati Traditional Style Area: A well-arranged mountain commercial body, must go to check in. There is an old shop called 'Forget Worry Grocery Store', the nostalgia sold is touching, there are many old photos collected by the boss with painstaking effort, that is many people's youth, some may be old, some may be gone, there are also out-of-print childhood comic books and tapes, worth a visit. There is also a record store, one wall is full of posters of every album of Jay Chou, Jay fans can go and see. There is an air-raid shelter exhibition, which introduces the unyielding history of Chongqing's resistance to war, worth learning! There is also a French-style building, the original French consulate, the century-old building is still well preserved!
Mountain City Trail: A few streets away from Shibati is the Mountain City Trail, a must-see attraction, here you can fully feel the city is a mountain, the mountain is a city! Residential buildings are on the mountain, find any unit door to go in thinking it is the first floor, maybe it is someone else's top floor. The view of the river inside is very beautiful and spectacular!
Eling Second Factory Cultural and Creative Park: A place with a strong literary atmosphere, the filming location of the movie 'Passing Your World', Zhang Yibai's film studio is here, it is recommended that those with the sentiment of this movie must go. The most ingenious thing here is that following the path all the way down the mountain is Liziba, no climbing, not tired.
Liziba Light Rail Station: Standing opposite you can take pictures of the train passing through the building, the scenery is really very Chongqing and wonderful!
Yangtze River Cableway: There are many people taking the cableway, queuing for 1-2 hours, not recommended to take, you can go directly from here to Bai Xiangju to take a panoramic view of the cableway
Bai Xiangju: A very dilapidated building, very much like the pipe buildings in Hong Kong movies, there is nothing to see or play here, but it is an excellent location for shooting the cableway, shooting the old buildings of the cross stairs in the village opposite from here, also very photogenic!
Chongqing Two Rivers Tour: Take a boat tour of the river from Chaotianmen or Hongyadong at night, more than an hour, a really rare experience! Very beautiful, overlooking the brightly lit river view of Chongqing! You can see the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River, you can see the key buildings of Chongqing, you can also see the panoramic view of Hongyadong, really like the small building in Spirited Away!
Second day:
Luohan Temple: Just near Jiefangbei, the architecture is exquisite, a rare temple in the country with five wealth gods! It feels very spiritual, the sign of counting Arhats and the problems I am encountering in my work and life now, just coincide!
Chongqing Art Museum: The red shape is very artistic, did not go to the exhibition inside, but shooting the exterior on the overpass and zebra crossing, eye-catching!

Master Zhao is very enthusiastic. Today's itinerary is very very satisfied. The reservations and tickets are arranged for us. The time of the attractions is just right, which saves time and effort than playing by yourself.
I went there during the Labor Day holiday. Although I bought a ticket first and then booked a tour time on the machine, I still queued for a long time when I actually went there. But the scenery is very good, and the children think it is a very novel experience.
Generally, it is 2 hours in line, 2 minutes across the river, there is no special feature of the cableway stations on both sides of the north and south, messy, but the holiday bridge is closed, it is good to go to Nanshan to see the scenery, eat Dezhuang hot pot, and there are not many people. The strategy is to go to the cableway station in advance to change the queue code, and then go out to wander. Come back near the time, you can insert the number directly.
Chongqing Yangtze River Cableway is a great experience to buy tickets on Ctrip. After arriving in Chongqing, you can get the ticket in the QR code, and then queue up for the cableway. You must take the Yangtze River Cableway to Chongqing, leap the Yangtze River, and the scenery is superb! 5 points, praise! Travel, tickets, accommodation first consider Ctrip!
The Yangtze River Cableway is a very worth buying tourist project. Although it only takes a few minutes to get from the North Station to the South Station, it is a very wonderful feeling to overlook the new face of Chongqing and the Yangtze River in the high air! The ropeway is very safe and stable in the high air. Unfortunately, it only arrives in a few minutes. I haven't seen enough beauty to get to the station!
Experience the mountain city culture. Mobile phone ticket purchase, online row number, etc. The number section is turned, and then go to the ropeway station for a short time to queue, you can board the ropeway experience. People in a carriage are basically tourists, and everyone picks up their mobile phone to record the ride. Experience the whole process in 10 minutes, adding color to the trip to Chongqing.
For the first month of travel, the Yangtze River cableway ticket must be bought in advance. If you want to take the day, you can't buy it. The North Railway Station has many people. A cable car box is full of people. You can't see any scenery. You have to check the security at the station. I bought it with an explanation. I have to go to get it by myself or it will not be the same as us. I bought a ticket and called the number according to the number. We went there early in the morning and told us that it was night. At 6 o'clock, we went to other attractions and came back. It didn't matter if we passed the number. You can go directly in. The cable car can be worn back, and you can buy the ferry ticket after getting off the cable car. 25 people include the cost of the bus. To the pier, there is a shopping mall and a duty-free shop for Chinese medicine. You can go shopping. You need the entry information within 180. The ticket is valid on the same day. The boat has two floors, there are more people on the deck, and there are many vacancies on the first floor. I walked 25,000 steps today, and I directly made the children tired and crying.
