    "It was a trip to China and we visited Yangtze River Cableway. It was very beautiful and interesting and we really enjoy it 😍"
    Chongqing.Jiefangbei Area/Hong Ya Dong
    3.1km from downtown
    Highlights: Yangtze River Cableway has developed into a must-visit attraction for tourists in Chongqing. The cableway starts at Chang'an Temple (Xinhua Road) in Yuzhong District and crosses the Yangtze River to Shangxin Street (Longmenhao) in the Nan'an District. As you take the cableway and travel to the other side of the river, you can see the scenery of the skyscrapers, the Yangtze River, and the south bank of the river. There is a saying that “If you don't see the night view, you have not been to Chongqing”. So take the Yangtze River cableway so have a glimpse of Chongqing's night skyline. The Yangtze River cableway has also become a favourite for many filmmakers in Chongqing. Whenever there are cableway footages in domestic film and television dramas, the audience will know that it was shot in Chongqing.

    "The early green leather car went from Chongqing to Wulong. The scenic car was included in the ticket. It was driven all the way to the gate of Wulong Tiankeng No. 2. It is estimated that it is to sell the glass plank road (a bit deliberate). You have to go back for a long time to take the elevator at Exit 1, and queue up to take the elevator. The scenery of Tiankeng is very good and the weather is very good. The sun is shining, there are more stairs, and the bottom is a large flat ground, although it is down. The battery car from the Tiankeng is 15 yuan in 2 minutes. The whole journey is up. It takes about 180 steps to go up. If the physical strength is really not good, you can take it. I took my parents in their 70s to go, and I could only go to the crater physically, gave up the ground seam, and gave it to the friends who brought the elderly for reference."
    Chongqing.Fairy Mountain Scenic Area
    >100km from downtown

    "I have traveled to many zoos in China, and I have been to many zoos abroad. The price and animal varieties of this zoo can be said to be the king of cost-effectiveness. The sea crawling on the ground swims."
    Chongqing.Yangjiaping
    8km from downtown
    Highlights: Chongqing Zoo is situated in Yangjiaping in the city's Jiulongpo District. The zoo is home to one of China's national treasures, the panda, of which there are more than in the average zoo. The National Huanan Tiger Breeding Center is also based at the zoo. There is nothing better than visiting the zoo at the weekend with kids to look at the variety of animals. Chongqing Zoo is home to quite a complete range of animals, including giant pandas, giraffes, lions, zebra, elephants, tigers, crocodiles, and apes. If you follow the instructions when you stroll around the zoo, you can see all the animals without walking down the same path twice.

    "Very good day trip, the scenery is super beautiful. I especially praised the driver, Master Yuan, and was very responsible for picking up the car. Every attraction bought a ticket and explained it very carefully, and also told a lot of local customs. Five-star praise for the driver, Master Yuan"
    Chongqing.Jiefangbei Area/Hong Ya Dong
    2.4km from downtown
    Highlights: If you have not viewed Chongqing's night view, you haven't been to Chongqing. The night view of Chongqing is stunning and magical. The city is situated at the convergence of the Yangtze and Jialiang River. Taking a night cruise along this two rivers is a classic way to feel the magnitude and pulse of the city. During the cruise ride, you will pass by many famous landmarks and appreciate the unique geographical features of the city. The two rivers wrap around the inner city and divide urban Chongqing into several districts interconnected by bridges. The city itself spreads out high up into the mountains creating a multi-dimensional cityscape, resulting in intertwining roads, overpasses and LRT lines.

    "Chongqing's Hongyadong is indeed a landmark building, and the night view at night is really beautiful. The Qianmen Bridge adjacent to Hongyadong is also dazzling. The elevator in Hongyadong is too difficult to squeeze, a must-come place, very recommended."
    Chongqing.Jiefangbei Area/Hong Ya Dong
    2.6km from downtown
    Highlights: Hongyadong commercial street is located on Cangbai Road of Yuzhong District, Chongqing City. It is at the intersection where the Yangtze River and the Jialing River meet. Most of its buildings are “Diaojialou” style, which reflects traditional architectural features of Bayu. It is a great place to go if you want to check out the old streets of Chongqing, appreciate the two rivers, or try local cuisines. At the same time, it is home to a bustling night scene, making it a fascinating attraction for photographers.

    "Today is the last day in Chongqing, I went to the ancient town of Ciqikou. This place is bigger than I thought. It is still very tired to walk around. However, the commercialization is too serious, and the shops on both sides are basically selling the same tourist goods, and there are no special features."
    Chongqing.Shapingba Area
    10km from downtown
    Highlights: Ciqikou Ancient Town is located beside Chongqing city. It used to serve as a goods unloading dock. The town has more than a dozen streets and it is filled with ancient Ming Dynasty architectures. You can walk along ancient paths, taste local food and snacks, and chill in a teahouse to feel the ambience of old Chongqing. As the town is very close to the urban area, it is a popular attraction for urbanites' recreational activities. Mao Xuewang, Qianzhangpi and salt-and-pepper peanuts are the three specialties in the town. The "Chen Fried Dough Twist" is also a must-try when you are there.

    "The golden signboard of Fairy Mountain Wulong Tourism is very good. The best tourist season is summer and winter. Summer can escape the summer and winter can ski. It is very good, and the attractions are relatively concentrated, similar to the natural three bridges. It is very convenient to be together."
    Chongqing.Fairy Mountain Scenic Area
    >100km from downtown
    Highlights: A rare sight in southern China, tall mountains and grasslands are a feature of Fairy Mountain National Forest Park. Fairy Mountain National Forest Park is located in Wulong, Chongqing. In summer, the mountains are cool, making it a preferred place to avoid the summer heat. Adventurous visitors can try horse riding in the park. In winter, the peaks are covered in brilliant snow. A ski resort is a great choice for those who like to ski and play in the snow. Many visitors to Fairy Mountain National Forest Park spend the night in Fairy Mountain and visit Three Natural Bridges and Longshui Canyon on the next day by taking the bus from the tourist center.

    "The baby's fifth birthday, did not hold a party, brought her to the super flying man training camp, really happy. Some projects can only be experienced by children alone, she said to muster up the courage to be a brave baby. Especially when taking the small train, the children in her car will not untie the seat belt, she told others that they will not, and then she took the initiative to help untie, which must be praised by her. She didn't shout tired after a day, but because she was not tall enough to play a bumper car, she didn't pay attention to the time to miss the latest queue time of the Ferris wheel. She was a little sorry. It is recommended to bring children if it is a weekend or holiday, you can prepare for two days, so that you can play well, because many projects have been queued for a long time."
    Chongqing.Lijia/Happy Valley
    12.1km from downtown
