Why visit Chongqing?
Chongqing is a dynamic metropolis on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, known for its steep hills, dramatic skyline, and atmospheric riverfront districts. You will find a city that blends historic neighbourhoods with striking modern towers and lively nightlife.
What to expect
The city is built across hills and peninsulas, with layered highways, bridges, and monorails weaving between neighbourhoods. Busy commercial areas, buzzing hotpot restaurants, and misty river views shape daily life, while pockets of old streets and traditional architecture offer a slower pace.
Plan your trip
Chongqing is a convenient base for river cruises, mountain scenery, and nearby historic towns across southwest China. With extensive rail and domestic air links, you can combine a stay in the city with onward journeys to Chengdu, Guilin, and other regional destinations.
