[08:00 Meet at Chongqing Hongyadong]
In the early morning, Hongyadong, shrouded by its nighttime brilliance, reveals its cascading stilt houses. Built on the hillside and overlooking the river, the 11-story complex appears quaint and tranquil in the morning light, offering the perfect opportunity to experience its architectural wonders.
[Then take the Yangtze River Cableway]
Embark on a historic "Airbus" and soar across the mighty Yangtze River from the air. The carriage, like a moving observation deck, offers a unique perspective, overlooking the cityscapes on both sides of the strait and the river flowing eastward beneath your feet, allowing you to experience the majestic grandeur of the mountain city.
[The next attractions are Xiahao Old Street, Graffiti Street, and Jiaotong Teahouse]
Xiahao Old Street: Stroll along the bluestone pavement, flanked by time-worn brick houses and lush yellow locust trees. Free from the hustle and bustle of over-the-top commercialism, this street is filled with the vibrant life and relaxed tranquility of old Chongqing, a place forgotten by time.
Graffiti Street: Enter a fantastical world of street art. From the ground to the building facades, the entire street is covered in vibrant, exaggerated graffiti, creating a visually striking experience, like stepping into a giant 3D painting. It's a trendy destination for young people to check in.
Jiaotong Teahouse: Push open the wooden door and you're instantly transported back to the last century. Dim lighting, old-fashioned ceiling fans, mottled walls, and square wooden tables create the most authentic image of a typical urban teahouse. Elderly people sip tea, play chess, and chat about family matters here, creating a rich atmosphere of life and a sense of time-honored stories.
[Then take a bus to Ciqikou Ancient Town]
Ciqikou Ancient Town, one of Chongqing's "New Bayu Twelve Scenic Spots," sits on the banks of the Jialing River. With its winding stone-paved streets and numerous shops, the ancient town is filled with the aroma of hot pot broth, aged twisted dough sticks, and tea. The bustling atmosphere reflects the ancient town's prosperity.
[Then take a bus to Liziba Light Rail Station and No. 2 Factory Cultural and Creative Park]
Liziba Light Rail Station: Witness the breathtaking spectacle of "light rail through a building." Trains******by between the 6th and 8th floors of a residential building. This unique design, with a station within a building and a building within a station, perfectly captures Chongqing's 8D magical topography.
No. 2 Factory Cultural and Creative Park: Formerly the Central Bank's banknote printing plant during the Republican era, it's now a cultural hub steeped in industrial retro charm. Rusted factory buildings and massive chimneys blend seamlessly with modern art installations and designer shops, making it a perfect spot for photos and afternoon tea.
[Then take a bus to Zhongshan 4th Road]
Known as "Chongqing's Most Beautiful Street," the road is lined with lush yellow locust trees, forming a verdant archway that remains evergreen year-round. The street is dotted with numerous historical sites and buildings from the Republic of China era, dating back to the Anti-Japanese War. The tranquil environment is imbued with a rich historical heritage and cultural atmosphere.
[Take a bus to Chongqing Shibati Traditional Style Area]
This ancient neighborhood, connecting Chongqing's upper and lower parts, has been renovated to recreate the traditional charm of the mountain city. Steep steps, vintage stilt houses, sculptures and shops brimming with memories of old Chongqing, layer upon layer, form a three-dimensional folk museum, telling the story of the mountain city's past and present.
[Finally, take a bus to Hongyadong]
Return to Hongya Cave in the evening. The lights are now on, marking the best time to admire the cave. From Cangbai Road at the top of the mountain, you can gaze down at the cave's panorama, witnessing its transformation from its quaint daytime architecture to a dazzling castle reminiscent of Thousands of Miles, setting the stage for your nighttime adventure.
[Finally, take the Chongqing Two Rivers Tour]
The highlight of today's itinerary is a night cruise. Board a cruise ship and sail to the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers. The dazzling lights on both banks outline the city's skyline. Iconic buildings like Hongyadong, the Huguang Guild Hall, the Grand Theatre, and Raffles City shine in the night sky, their reflections on the river's surface creating a flowing, dynamic, three-dimensional landscape painting. Experience the ultimate charm of Chongqing, the "City That Never Sleeps."
