Chongqing, one of China’s largest and most dynamic megacities, is known for its striking mountain scenery, maze-like streets, and stunning river panoramas. Built atop steep hills at the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers, the city blends modern skyscrapers with traditional neighbourhoods, creating a unique vertical landscape where roads, bridges, and buildings seem stacked upon one another.
Exploring Chongqing’s city centre reveals a world of contrasts: the bustling Jiefangbei CBD, the cliffside markets and neon-lit facades of Hongyadong, and the peaceful temples and old streets scattered throughout the hills. The city’s vibrant nightlife, dramatic viewpoints, and signature spicy cuisine make it a paradise for travellers seeking both excitement and authenticity.
Whether wandering through lively food streets, riding the famous Yangtze River Cableway, or relaxing in a traditional teahouse, Chongqing offers an immersive urban experience unlike any other city in China.
Chongqing is often called “China’s Mountain City” because of its steep terrain and multi-level architecture.
The Yangtze River Cableway is one of the city’s most iconic experiences, offering sweeping views between two districts.
The city is the birthplace of málà cuisine, known for its bold mix of spicy chilies and numbing Sichuan peppercorns.
Chongqing has over 14,000 bridges, more than any other city in China.
Many streets and districts appear in Chinese films and TV dramas, thanks to the city’s dramatic night skyline and cyberpunk atmosphere.
