📍Must-visit landmarks: Guaranteed to get 99% likes on your social feed
✅Hongya Cave🌉: Lights up promptly at 8 PM! The stilted buildings look like a golden castle floating on the river under the lights. Head to Qiansimen Bridge for a panoramic shot, remember to turn on portrait mode, let the river breeze blow your hair, every shot looks cinematic~ You can also shoot close-ups on Binjiang Road under the bridge; avoid crowds and find the right angle to instantly capture the same romantic vibe as “Spirited Away”~
✅Yangtze River Cableway🚠: Choose to start from Xinhua Road Station (less crowded!). When the cabin rises mid-air, the grandeur of the Yangtze River and the staggered high-rises on both banks come into full view~ Remember to sit by the window, turn on the original sound when filming videos, the cable car’s “creak creak” sound mixed with the river breeze fully immerses you in the mountain city atmosphere~
✅Liziba Monorail Station🚇: Seeing the monorail “clang” through a residential building in person still amazes you! Don’t squeeze onto the viewing platform; go to the rooftop of a nearby residential building (like the Liziba Liangshan Chicken building), spend 10 yuan on a milk tea, and enjoy an unobstructed view of the monorail passing through the building plus the Jialing River scenery—double the thrill~
🏨Hidden gem hotel found: Prime spot in Guanyinqiao business district
This time I stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton Chongqing Jiangbei, which totally stole my heart! Right in the core area of Guanyinqiao Pedestrian Street, just downstairs is the vibrant life and trendy paradise 👇
✨Right downstairs is Happy Old Home🍲: Popular hotpot spots like Peijie Hotpot and Zhu Guangyu Hotpot are just a 3-minute walk away! The beef tallow broth bubbles, dip tripe and duck intestines for 10 seconds, and cool down the spice with a bowl of iced glutinous rice balls—who understands Chongqing’s happiness better? Also nearby are luxury malls like Starlight 68 and Beicheng Tianjie; after shopping, just head back to the hotel to relax—shopping lovers say “so convenient!”
🛏Room facilities:
Rooms warm your heart🛏️: Decorated in warm tones throughout, it feels like being wrapped in sunshine~ The bedding is soft, premium toiletries have a subtle fragrance, after a day of fun, a hot bath instantly recharges you! Families with kids can choose the family room, full of cartoon elements, kids will be so happy they’ll spin around~
✅Must experience:
Surrounding artsy vibe📸: Just a 10-minute walk from the hotel is the newly popular “Little Seoul” Beicang Cultural and Creative Street! Old warehouses transformed into an artsy park, brick walls covered with greenery, coffee shops and craft stores hidden in alleys, sitting on the steps for photos gives you that cool Korean drama vibe~ Evening visits are even better, warm light streaming through glass onto you, photo success rate 200%!
📝Final thoughts:
The charm of Chongqing is hidden in the bustling life on the slopes, in the grandeur where two rivers meet, and in every surprise around the corner~ You might just “pass through your whole world” here, but I believe you’ll, like me, return again and again for this magic and passion~
