• Chongqing - An English-speaking guide and a professional driver will greet you at Chongqing airport or train stations. Start your Chongqing journey by visiting two of the city’s most remarkable landmarks - Jiefangbei and Hongya Cave. Jiefangbei Square, featuring the Monument to the People’s Liberation, symbolizes victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. It now draws visitors for sightseeing and photography, and at night, the illuminated monument becomes a prime spot to admire Chongqing’s stunning skyline. Surrounded by shopping centers, restaurants, and entertainment venues, Jiefangbei is a vibrant hub that embodies Chongqing’s urban spirit.
• Hongya Cave - Next, explore Hongya Cave, a renowned stilted architectural marvel built into the mountainside. Famous for its “three-dimensional aerial pedestrian street,” this site offers breathtaking night views, showcasing traditional Diaojiaolou buildings, Tujia ethnic architecture, and antique-style commercial streets like Zhiyanhe Bar Street and Tiancheng Lane, where visitors can experience Bayu culture, shopping, and street food. A perfect fusion of history, tradition, and modern vibrancy, Hongya Cave is a must-see highlight of Chongqing’s skyline. After your tour, you’ll be transferred to your hotel, giving you ample time to relax and prepare for the adventures ahead.
• The Dazu Rock Carvings - After breakfast, start your day by visiting the Dazu Rock Carvings, an extraordinary site and the real-life inspiration for the black myth: Wukong. As the largest grotto complex in southern China, the Dazu Rock Carvings date back to the late Tang dynasty (618–907) and early Song dynasty (960–1127). Renowned for its exquisite stone carvings, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a true masterpiece of Buddhist and Taoist art. Among the five cave groups, the Baodingshan Rock Carvings stand out, featuring the famous “Three-Dimensional Picture of the River During the Qingming Festival”, which vividly captures the market life of the Southern Song Dynasty. As you explore the site, you’ll encounter not only intricate carvings but also the atmosphere of ancient local life, blending history and art.
• Baodingshan - A green bus will take you directly to Baodingshan, where mountain cliffs are adorned with thousands of statues of Buddha, Taoist figures, and notable personalities from the late Tang Dynasty. The Dafowan Cliff, spanning 500 meters, is home to around 10,000 Buddha statues, each contributing to a narrative mural that offers a glimpse into ancient China’s rich cultural tapestry. You’ll have the freedom to wander at your own pace, fully immersing yourself in the precious grotto art.
• Chongqing - After your visit, head to the Light of Copper Viewing Platform (Tong Yuan Zhi Guang), one of the most iconic spots in Nan’an District. Nestled against Nanshan, this viewpoint offers spectacular panoramic views of the city’s skyline, including Laojun Cave and Nanshan. Whether it’s the bustling cityscape by day, the peaceful sunset, or the captivating night view, this platform provides a perfect setting to take in the beauty of Chongqing.
• Chongqing - Next, experience the thrill of Sujiaba Overpass, an architectural marvel known for its massive spiral ramp, towering piers, and sleek design. Often compared to a real-life roller coaster, this impressive overpass offers a one-of-a-kind driving experience that captures Chongqing’s reputation as a “city of bridges and mountains.”
• Liziba Park - After breakfast, head to the Liziba Viewing Platform, the best spot to witness and photograph Chongqing’s famous light rail passing through a residential building—a sight that perfectly captures the city’s unique urban landscape. Nearby, the cafés and residential buildings offer fantastic perspectives for photography enthusiasts.
• Chongqing - Next, we head to Shancheng Lane, known as Chongqing’s “Architecture Museum”. This historic lane, named after “Mountain City”, offers a fascinating glimpse into Chongqing’s rich history and culture, from Ming Dynasty city walls to foreign consulates from the late Qing Dynasty. The area also showcases stilted houses, courtyards, air raid shelters, and Shanghai-style architecture from the Anti-Japanese War era, alongside residential buildings from the People’s Republic of China era. The unique street layout, built into the mountainside, combines traditional Ba Yu culture with a modern, retro vibe, making it a popular spot for photos and exploring local culture. Visitors can enjoy cultural shops, homestays, creative bookstores, and delicious mountain city cuisine while soaking in the nostalgic atmosphere of this historical gem.
