Things to do in Chongqing

A great place to stroll around and take photos; Changjiahui Shopping Plaza is also the best spot to watch the drone show. Unfortunately, the drone show was canceled due to rain 🌧.

Çongçing'deki Wulong Carst National Geological Pk (Wulong Karst Turizm Alanı); devasa doğal köprüleri, derin obrukları ve nefis kanyon manzaralarıyla adeta başka bir gezegende yürüyormuş hissiyatı veriyor. Doğanın gücünü ve ihtişamını hissetmek için mutlaka görülmesi gereken muazzam bir jeolojik harika!

The Three Natural Bridges of Wulong are truly breathtaking, no wonder they're a World Natural Heritage site! Taking the sightseeing elevator down to the valley floor, you're instantly awestruck by the three giant natural stone bridges. Towering cliffs, deep canyons, babbling brooks, and lush greenery abound. The Tianfu Official Post Station is nestled beneath the bridges, exuding a martial arts atmosphere; every snapshot is a masterpiece. The trails are easy to walk on, clearly marked, and the canyon is exceptionally cool. Seeing it in person reveals the true grandeur of nature; its artistry is awe-inspiring. A must-see when visiting Chongqing, it's definitely worth a visit.

Before the various Yangtze River bridges, this was the main way for Chongqing residents to cross the river. Each carriage held about thirty people. When it wasn't crowded, the wait was about twenty minutes, and the crossing itself took about five minutes. A one-way trip cost 30 yuan, and a round trip 50 yuan. The experience was indeed quite unique. The only downside was that the windows were incredibly dirty!

I arrived to the place at 9:20am as many reviews were suggesting to be there early to witness the panda feeding. However, almost until 10am the pandas were sleeping.. perhaps its rainy days?! Well, on my way back (12pm) I could see some pandas being fed and playing around. Others were asleep..😴 Overall, I expected to see more than 4 pandas in total 😅 red pandas were cute and active though! Fell in love with those ones instead 🤭

My stay in Chongqing was fantastic! The hotel boasts a superb location, within walking distance of Eling No. 2 Factory and Liziba Viewpoint, making sightseeing incredibly convenient. The rooms were spotless and bright, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the amenities were complete. The free parking was a great convenience for travelers with cars. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, making check-in quick and easy, and patiently answering all my questions. Overall, it offered excellent value for money and is a top choice for any trip. I would definitely choose this hotel again next time.

Standing at the Eye in the Clouds, feeling the 520m altitude, with clouds drifting in the distance and the mountain city clearly visible below, there is no crowd or noise. You can quietly enjoy this unique mountain city scenery.

It's great in every way. The only starting point for the Three Gorges Summit hike is Baidi City, and the scenery is beautiful. Food and drinks on the mountain cost 10 yuan per serving. There are many steep uphill sections, and the hike is about 10 kilometers and takes about 6 hours. After the hike, there are local private cars available for 30 yuan per person to take you down the mountain from the high-speed rail station or other places.

Each person paid an extra 80 yuan to access the VIP area, where we sat at the bow of the boat. There were snacks, fruit, and drinks, along with a commentary and a face-changing performance. The night view from the boat was indeed excellent, especially in the VIP area where there was no need to squeeze with the crowds; everyone was right next to the side of the boat, allowing for photos anytime. The entire trip lasted 40 minutes. However, the journey to Hongyadong Wharf was incredibly congested, chaotic, and packed with people...

As the spotlight fell, red silk billowed from both sides of the stage, instantly enveloping the entire theater in a profound sense of history. When the actors playing revolutionaries, armed with wooden rifles, charged forward amidst the smoke and fire, an elderly man in the front row quietly wiped a tear from his eye. From the gunshots by the river, to that declaration that transcends over seventy years, every shout resonated with the audience's hearts. In the final scene, as the national flag was unfurled, the entire theater spontaneously erupted in applause. That deafening roar wasn't stage sound effects; it was the most direct empathy from everyone present for that groundbreaking era. This wasn't a distant story confined to books; it was the real, tangible footsteps of our forefathers.
