Must-Visit Photo Spots in Chongqing

**Chongqing Magic 8D City Check-in Record! 6 Must-Visit Attractions Collected at One Time** **📍Liziba Light Rail Through Building** How can you miss the spectacle of "light rail through building" when you come to Chongqing? Seeing the Line 2 train whizzing through the residential building with your own eyes, it is still super shocking! It is recommended to use an upward angle to shoot the moment when the train enters the station on the viewing platform, and match it with the "light rail eating" borrowed photos, and the circle of friends will directly exceed 100 likes~ (Friendly reminder: "Liziba Liangshan Chicken" opposite is spicy and fresh, remember to try it after checking in!) **🌉Hongyadong: The real version of "Spirited Away"** Hongyadong under the night is definitely the face of Chongqing! The stacked stilt houses are lit up with golden lights, like a scene from Hayao Miyazaki's animation. The best shooting spots are **Qiansimen Bridge** or **Grand Theater on the other side of the river**. Avoid the crowds on the first floor to get panoramic photos~ Visit the Shancheng souvenir shop on the way, hot pot base and Chen Mahua are must-buys! **🚢Chaotianmen Square: The wonder of the intersection of two rivers** The Yangtze River and Jialing River form a yellow-green dividing line like a "Double-Boiled Pot" at Chaotianmen. The sci-fi shape of the new landmark **Raffles Square** is super eye-catching! It is recommended to take pictures of the sunset + river view in the evening, or take a night cruise on the two rivers to see the neon high-rise buildings reflected on the river surface. Chongqing's cyberpunk feeling is full! **🏨Ascott Serviced Apartments: High-altitude city view C-position accommodation** This time I stayed at **Ascott Chongqing Raffles**, and the 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows will have a panoramic view of the Yuzhong Peninsula! The location is super convenient, 10 minutes walk to Hongyadong, the room has its own kitchen and washing machine, it is super suitable for family travel or long-term residence~ You can take pictures with the infinity pool on the rooftop and take pictures with Raffles! **⛰️Shiba Ti: The memory of the old mountain city** Shiba Ti, which was popularized by "Passing by Your World", still retains the bluestone steps and stilt houses after the renovation. Cultural and creative shops and cafes are hidden in the winding alleys. It is recommended to come in the early morning or on rainy days. The "fog city" charm is the best when the fog is lingering! Don't forget to take a photo with the "Shiba Ti" stone plaque~ **✌️Jiefangbei: A prosperous center through history** Chongqing's landmark business district! There is always a crowd of people under the Anti-Japanese War Victory Monument, and the surrounding luxury shopping malls form a contrast with the **Bayi Food Street** in the alley (recommended: hot and sour noodles, rose ice jelly, roasted brain flower!). When the clock chimes at night, there is an inexplicable sense of time and space interweaving~ **💡Chongqing Travel Tips** ✔️Wear good walking shoes! The navigation shows that 500 meters may mean climbing 10 floors of stairs ✔️Choose the spiciness carefully, slightly spicy may be medium spicy in other places ✔️Light rail + Didi is more worry-free than driving (8D three-dimensional transportation, you know) Chongqing is really a city that becomes more charming as the night goes on. Next time, I want to unlock the Yangtze River Cableway and Wulong Tiankeng! Do you have any private attractions to recommend? 👇 #重庆旅游 #神奇8D城市 #洪崖洞夜景 #山城打卡 ##網红打卡地方 ##位置方便

Steeped in mist and mystery, Chongqing is like no other city. Towering skyscrapers cling to mountainsides, neon lights reflect off the mighty Yangtze River, and spicy hotpot warms your soul in every alley. It's a city where the future meets tradition where monorails glide through buildings, and centuries-old temples overlook ultramodern skylines. Whether you're riding the cable car over the river or getting lost in Hongyadong's labyrinth, Chongqing never stops moving and never stops surprising. 🔥 Bold. Spicy. Electric. That’s Chongqing.
