Chongqing Babysitter-level Travel Guide (Suitable for Beginners)

🙋🏻‍♀️I traveled to Chongqing in mid-January, with a travel duration of one week, this guide combines personal experience. ❖ DAY1: High-speed train arrival——Hongya Cave in the evening——Qiansimen Bridge ❖ DAY2: Hongya Cave Pier——Ferry——Ciqikou ❖ DAY3: Dazu Baoding Mountain Rock Carvings——Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street in the evening ❖ DAY4: White Mansion/Zhazidong——Mountain City Trail——Eighteen Ladders ❖ DAY5: Return home from Jiangbei Airport ✈️Transportation: The plane is at Jiangbei Airport, it is recommended to take the high-speed rail at Chongqing North Station. Online car-hailing is generally cheap. The starting price for taxis is 10 yuan. It is recommended to walk in the Jiefangbei Hongya Cave area in the city center, walking is faster than taking a taxi. Due to the terrain of Chongqing, vehicle travel may be a bit roundabout and traffic is heavy, traffic jams are common. 🏡Accommodation: If you spend most or all of your time playing in Yuzhong District, it is recommended to stay near Jiefangbei Chaotianmen. I live near Chaotianmen Metro Station, which is convenient for transportation and can walk to Jiefangbei Hongya Cave and other downtown areas. If you live near Jiefangbei, the hotel is basically a commercial house renovation, there may be multiple hotels in one building, the elevator is crowded, the sound insulation effect is poor, and the infrastructure is old. 🎫Attraction tickets and reservation matters (1) To Ciqikou Ferry, it departs on the hour. The single trip is 40r, the voyage is 1h, and you can buy tickets online for Chongqing Jiaoyun Liangjiang Tour or Jiaoyun Water Sightseeing (there is a free shuttle bus to the ancient town after getting off the boat) (2) White Mansion tickets are free, but need to be reserved in advance (3) It is recommended to buy tickets for Dazu Rock Carvings online, it is more cost-effective to buy a package, and it is recommended to take a sightseeing car in the scenic area. (For details, see the Dazu Rock Carvings Guide on the homepage) 🧢Items to bring and wear: ID card, half-price or free ticket documents, umbrella. Chongqing's winter is relatively humid and cold, with heavy fog, and cloudy and rainy days are the most common. The temperature is not too low, it is recommended to wear a coat, thin sweater, etc. The specific outfit depends on the weather forecast on the day of the trip. 🌶Specialties and food: Specialties: Bridgehead, Mingyang and other hot pot base materials, Chen Chang Silver Twist, etc. Food: Small noodles, mixed noodles, wontons, brown sugar rice cakes, various community old hot pots, etc. 🌸Other matters: (1) If you want to taste Shuangliu Old Mother Rabbit Head in Jiefangbei, you can go and buy it. There is a Wang Su Sheng Mahjong Cake that is also quite delicious, but it is a bit expensive. The prices on the entire pedestrian street are almost the same, you can buy and taste appropriately. (2) Hongya Cave is crowded at night, and the price for soliciting photos is basically 30r per photo (not necessary). (3) You can use the online car-hailing software to carpool from the city to Dazu, which is cheaper per capita than cars and trains and saves time. It is cost-effective. It takes about two hours to get from Chaotianmen to Baoding Mountain. (Excluding peak traffic periods) (4) Ciqikou Ancient Town is heavily commercialized, but there are many free tastings inside, and the girls are very enthusiastic, and there are many performances worth watching. (5) It is recommended to go to Zhazidong first and then to the White Mansion. In this way, there are fewer uphill sections to walk, the straight-line distance is 1km, the actual walking time is 30 minutes, and there are a lot of uphill sections in the White Mansion, which is not recommended for the elderly and children.
