Why this Chongqing board feels complete

Liziba Station (Train Through Building) in Chongqing
Must visit

Liziba Station (Train Through Building)

Take the metro to Liziba and watch monorail Line 2 slice straight through the apartment block; trains pass every few minutes. Ride the line yourself to see the balconies up close.

Shancheng Alley (Third Trail) in Chongqing
Must visit

Shancheng Alley (Third Trail)

Cliffside trail linking old lanes, forts, and river terraces above the Yangtze, and the best way to feel the mountain city on foot. Walk east to west for gentler stairs, and bring a layer for windy autumn terraces.

Hongya Cave (Hongyadong) in Chongqing
Must visit

Hongya Cave (Hongyadong)

The stilt houses glow gold over the Jialing River after dark, and this is the postcard view of Chongqing at night. Arrive forty minutes before sunset to beat the crowds at the gate bridge; expect elevator queues later.

Raffles City Chongqing Exploration Deck in Chongqing
Must visit

Raffles City Chongqing Exploration Deck

The horizontal skyscraper above Chaotianmen has a 250m viewing deck over the spot where the two rivers meet. Book the Exploration Deck online ahead to skip the ticket line at sunset.

Yangtze River Cableway in Chongqing

Yangtze River Cableway

This historic commuter cable car glides across the Yangtze with skyline views both ways. Board after dark, pay with a transit card, and walk back over the bridge.

Must visit

Dazu Rock Carvings

Plan this as your day trip to the UNESCO-listed Baodingshan cliff sculptures. Book a direct bus or private transfer ahead, confirm opening hours, and start early.
