Why visit Chongqing?
Chongqing is a dynamic metropolis set among steep hills and the meeting point of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers, known for its glowing skyline, hotpot culture, and energetic street life. You experience a city that feels both modern and atmospheric at the same time.
What to expect
You find dense neighbourhoods layered over hills, misty river views, and an elevated rail system that weaves between towers. From historic districts like Ciqikou Old Town to lively riverside promenades, Chongqing combines bold architecture with intimate alleyways and hidden staircases.
Plan your trip
Chongqing works well as both a standalone city break and a base to explore the wider region, including cruises along the Yangtze. With expanding metro lines and high-speed rail links, you can easily combine it with other major cities in western and central China on the same journey.
