Why visit Chongqing?
Chongqing is a dynamic riverside metropolis where steep hills meet the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers. You will find a striking skyline, layered bridges, and hillside neighbourhoods that give the city a distinctive three-dimensional feel.
What to expect
The city blends modern high-rises with historic streets, busy piers, and atmospheric alleyways. Elevated walkways, cableways, and viewpoints reveal the scale of Chongqing, while lively districts such as Jiefangbei and Guanyinqiao offer an energetic urban experience.
Plan your trip
Chongqing is an important transport gateway to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the wider western region. You can base yourself in the city to join river cruises, explore surrounding mountains, or connect onwards to other destinations across south-western China.
