Why visit Chongqing?
Chongqing is a vibrant riverside metropolis where steep hills, misty skylines, and powerful waterways meet a fast-growing urban core. You will find lively neighbourhoods, historic lanes, and dramatic viewpoints over the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers.
What to expect
The city is known for its multi-level streets, glowing night-time skyline, and energetic pace. Modern districts are linked by bridges, cableways, and an extensive metro system, while older quarters reveal narrow stairways, century-old buildings, and bustling local life.
Plan your trip
Chongqing works well as both a city break and a starting point for exploring the upper reaches of the Yangtze. From here, you can join river cruises, visit scenic counties in the surrounding hills, or continue your journey to other major cities in western China.
