Overview of your Chongqing tour

Chongqing is the one Chinese city you cannot understand from a map. Roads stack on roads, a 22nd floor is also a ground floor, and the monorail runs through an apartment block. This walk follows the vertical logic of the city from the river up to the ridge and back down to Hongya Cave as the lights come on.

09:30

Liziba monorail station

李子坝 · Lǐzǐbà · Line 2 Liziba · Free

Meet at the viewing deck before the tour-bus wave. Trains every 3–5 minutes.

Local tip · We go to the quieter upper walkway first, then down to the riverside road for the clean shot.

10:30

Eling Park tower and Testbed 2

鹅岭公园 / 鹅岭二厂 · Élǐng Gōngyuán · Walk · Tower ¥5

Fifteen minutes uphill on foot. Both rivers from the Kansheng Tower, then coffee in the old printing works.

Local tip · Weekdays only for Testbed 2; weekends are a photo-shoot crowd.

13:00

Lunch: xiaomian or a small Sichuan kitchen (optional)

小面 / 江湖菜 · Xiǎomiàn · Line 2 Jiaochangkou · ¥20–60 pp

Where office workers queue. I order; you choose the spice level.

Local tip · Say 微辣 (wēi là) the first time.

14:30

Kuixing Lou: the square on the 22nd floor

魁星楼 · Kuíxīng Lóu · Walk · Free

Street level for one building, 22 floors up for the next. The cheapest way to see why people call this city 8D.

Local tip · Lift inside the mall, not the stairs.

16:30

Hongya Cave from the right spot

洪崖洞 · Hóngyá Dòng · Line 1/6 Xiaoshizi · Free

In through the 11th-floor street entrance, down through the stilt houses, out to Qiansimen Bridge for the picture as the lights come on around 18:30.

Local tip · Twenty minutes inside is enough; the bridge is the view.
