Why visit Chongqing?
Chongqing is a dynamic river city set among steep hills and misty landscapes, where bright towers rise above the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers. You will find a vibrant mix of urban energy, dramatic scenery, and a rich trading heritage.
What to expect
The city spreads across peninsulas, bridges, and tunnels, with elevated roads and layered streets creating striking viewpoints at almost every corner. Busy commercial districts sit close to traditional lanes, hot spring resorts, and riverfront promenades, giving you many different ways to explore in a single trip.
Plan your trip
Chongqing works well as both a standalone city break and a starting point for journeys deeper into the surrounding mountains and river valleys. With its strong transport links and growing skyline, it offers an engaging introduction to western China and a convenient base for regional travel.
