Things to do in Chongqing

The Two Rivers Ferry is absolutely fantastic! The 15 yuan ticket is incredibly cost-effective! Here's a great route for families with kids: After visiting Jiefangbei and Kuixinglou, see Hongyadong during the day. If you're traveling with a 6-year-old and don't want to brave the crowds at Hongyadong at night, the stilted buildings during the day are just as beautiful. Afterward, take the Two Rivers Ferry to Danzishi, disembark, and explore Danzishi Old Street, Nanbin Road, and Xiahaoli. Then, take the light rail/bus or taxi back. The whole route is smooth and relaxing. The boat ride is novel and fun, and the kids especially loved it, remaining enthusiastic about exploring the shopping streets afterwards. At the pier, there's a large bowl of freshly cut watermelon for 10 yuan – watch it being cut right in front of you! It's sweet and refreshing. I highly recommend this route for families!

The service was excellent throughout! They picked us up from our hotel in the morning and dropped us off in the evening. Along the way, they enthusiastically introduced the scenic spots, the landscape, and Chongqing. The driver was highly skilled, and the car was clean and comfortable. Although the journey was long, we were able to visit the Wujiang River and rest in the restroom. The driver also shared some travel tips. I was very satisfied and happy; it was excellent value for money and highly recommended!

I loved Wulong the landscape are amazing and it’s a must see if you around Chongqing. A bit far but really worth it

The Yangtze River Cableway truly lives up to its name as Chongqing's aerial bus! In just over four minutes, you soar through the air above the Yangtze River. Below, the river flows swiftly, while on either side, the city's buildings rise in layers, offering unobstructed views of the bridges and the river. The old-fashioned cabins exude a nostalgic atmosphere, providing an immersive 8D experience of the city's charm. Visiting in the evening allows you to admire the city lights coming on, creating stunning photo opportunities. A must-try when visiting Chongqing!

My stay in Chongqing was fantastic! The hotel boasts a superb location, within walking distance of Eling No. 2 Factory and Liziba Viewpoint, making sightseeing incredibly convenient. The rooms were spotless and bright, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the amenities were complete. The free parking was a great convenience for travelers with cars. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, making check-in quick and easy, and patiently answering all my questions. Overall, it offered excellent value for money and is a top choice for any trip. I would definitely choose this hotel again next time.

Very nice views from the top of the building. Getting there wasn't a walk in the park. Extremely busy area especially in holidays time. The staff will show you the way up because you have to change elevators on the 47th floor.

The earth collapsed, mountains crumbled, and brave men perished; only then were the heavenly ladders and stone steps linked together. Above, the six dragons turn back the sun to their lofty peaks; below, the turbulent, turbulent rivers flow. Even the yellow crane cannot fly across; monkeys and apes hesitate to climb. The Wu Gorge, with the unwavering integrity of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang and the boundless imagination of Li Bai, blends these elements into its timeless landscape.

A wonderful National Day experience! The night cruise on the Shuangjiang River was a great way for my parents and kids to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Highly recommended. We were upgraded to a cabin after boarding, making the experience even more worthwhile. The buffet included fruit and snacks, and they even took a family photo for us!

As the spotlight fell, red silk billowed from both sides of the stage, instantly enveloping the entire theater in a profound sense of history. When the actors playing revolutionaries, armed with wooden rifles, charged forward amidst the smoke and fire, an elderly man in the front row quietly wiped a tear from his eye. From the gunshots by the river, to that declaration that transcends over seventy years, every shout resonated with the audience's hearts. In the final scene, as the national flag was unfurled, the entire theater spontaneously erupted in applause. That deafening roar wasn't stage sound effects; it was the most direct empathy from everyone present for that groundbreaking era. This wasn't a distant story confined to books; it was the real, tangible footsteps of our forefathers.

During the National Day holiday, I visited the Dazhu Stone Carvings despite the rain. It was crowded, but the scenic area was well-managed; parking and ticket purchase were quick and convenient. Hiring a guide is highly recommended, and I especially enjoyed the explanations from the female guide. She explained everything thoroughly, offering helpful tips and being very patient, especially considering the slippery roads and crowds. The Dazhu Stone Carvings are definitely worth a visit. Take your time to appreciate them; many carvings tell stories, and the artisans' skill is truly breathtaking. If time permits, try the Youting crucian carp in the county town; it's absolutely delicious.
