Itinerary
Daijiaxiang- Train That Goes Through a Building
It is close to the cliff and has many coffee shops and teahouses. You can also overlook the scenery of the Jialing River.
Luohan Temple – Ancient temple under skyscrapers
A mild rollercoaster-like train ride, filming as the train passes through the building. We’ll also take photos from various angles to showcase this unique urban experience
Chaotianmen Wholesale Market
Chaotianmen Wholesale Market is also worth exploring. As a port city, Chongqing has always been an important trade center. The scene of busy workers delivering goods forms a contrast with the fancy Raffles City in the distance, which is very cyberpunk style.
Riverside – the real “ground floor” of Chongqing
the riverside is a great place to get avoid of the city’s hustle and bustle. You can see a cross-section of this 3 dimensional city, those cityscapes that peel back like onion layers at the water’s edge.
Baixiangju – a 25-story building without an elevator
A classic residential apartment in the mountain city. Because it is closely integrated with the terrain, there are entrances to different floors on the 1st, 8th and 15th floors. Such a building can only be found in Chongqing.
Zuoying Street Long Overpass
It was designed for the convenience of the people and built to enable residents of the buildings below to reach Jiefangbei more easily.
The following two spots are interchangeable with the Luohan Temple or the Riverside, we can also visit these two spots in a different tour
Luzu Temple
The most down-to-earth area in the city center: the vegetable market, snack street and flower market, feel the bustle of Chongqing Old Town
Shibati (Eighteen stairs)
Once a historically slum, Shibati has been revitalized into a nostalgic commercial quarter that artfully preserves Chongqing’s architectural heritage. Its crown jewel remains the carefully preserved Underground Tunnel Complex, offering poignant insights into civilian life during wartime air raids through immersive historical exhibits.
