01What to see
Chongqing: the four places that matter
Ordered the way you should actually visit them, not by fame.
Hongya Cave
An 11-storey stilt-house complex lit gold at night; view it from across the road bridge.
Yangtze cableway
A 1.1 km cable car across the river, built 1987; go early to avoid the two-hour queue.
Ciqikou
A Ming-Qing porcelain port turned snack street; go at 8:00 before the crowds.
Dazu rock carvings
Five UNESCO cliff sites of Buddhist sculpture, two hours west; a full day.
02Two-day plan
How we would plan your two days
Built around opening times and traffic, not around a list of attractions.
Day 1 · Two rivers
Cableway at 8:00, walk the old town steps of Shibati, lunch, Ciqikou in the afternoon, Hongya Cave after dark.
Day 2 · Dazu or the mountain city
Dazu carvings for a full day, or stay in town for the Three Gorges Museum and a Yangtze night cruise.
Local notes
- Hongya Cave is a photo, not a restaurant recommendation — eat elsewhere.
- The cableway queue peaks 10:00–16:00; buy a timed ticket online.
- Streets are stairs. Wheeled luggage is a genuine problem in the old town.
03Where to stay
Pick the area first, the hotel second
The wrong district costs you an hour a day in traffic.
Jiefangbei
The centre, walk to Hongya Cave; loud and bright.
Nan’an riverside
View back at the skyline, quieter, 15 minutes by car.
04What to eat
Two things you should not leave without trying
Chongqing hotpotBeef tallow, chilli, and a bowl of garlic oil to dip; ¥90–140 a head.
XiaomianBreakfast noodles with chilli and pickles, ¥10–15, eaten standing.
05What goes wrong
Three things that catch first-time visitors
- Hongya Cave is a photo, not a restaurant recommendation — eat elsewhere.
- The cableway queue peaks 10:00–16:00; buy a timed ticket online.
- Streets are stairs. Wheeled luggage is a genuine problem in the old town.
06Questions
Chongqing: questions travellers actually ask
Is Chongqing walkable?
Yes within districts, but you will climb stairs constantly; taxis are cheap for crossing.
How spicy is the hotpot?
Very. Ask for yuanyang (divided pot) to get a clear broth half.
Is Dazu worth a day?
Yes for anyone interested in Buddhist art — it is the best carving site in southwest China.
The full guide runs to four pages — in Chinese
Tickets, opening hours, hour-by-hour itineraries and eighteen local questions. Machine translation handles these pages well; send us a screenshot if anything is unclear.
How booking Chongqing works — three steps, itinerary before price
No deposit to get a plan, and nothing is locked in before you agree to it.
-
Send the brief
Dates, party size, how you arrive and what you want to see. Tell us the working language you need and whether anyone has trouble with stairs.
-
Get a route and a price
We order the stops by location and traffic, then quote per car per day with fuel, tolls and the driver included. Ask for changes as often as you need — it costs nothing.
-
Confirm and travel
Only after you accept the route and the price do we assign the car and guide. You get their contact details before pickup, so you are never handed off to a stranger.
