Merge a fantastic evening tour with local cuisine: sample the renowned Chongqing hot pot, celebrated for its fiery and numbing flavours. Bustling dining spots hum with activity, allowing you to experience the dynamic food culture.
You'll commence your stress-free adventure with a hot pot dinner at a neighbourhood eatery. Immerse yourself in the energetic Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street—sparkling high-rises, shopping centres, and lively street food stalls. Meander around, relish spicy noodles or sweet tanghulu (candied fruit) for a delightful contrast. Access Hongya Cave from the 11th floor—step into an enchanted world. This 11-story maze, influenced by ancient Ba-Shu stilted structures, brims with traditional boutiques, teahouses and dining places. At nightfall, warm lights bathe it, their glow reflecting in the Jialin River.
Traverse Qiansimen Bridge for a distinctive panorama: Hongya Cave’s lit-up silhouette stands out against the night sky, with the city’s twinkling high-rises providing a spectacular backdrop. Experience an exhilarating journey on the Yangtze River Cableway. Soaring above the water, you’ll soak up Chongqing’s illuminated skyline, while beneath, cargo vessels and ferries slice through the Yangtze, their lights casting shimmer trails on the dark river. Conclude with a leisurely walk along Nanbin Road—a tranquil riverside promenade with sweeping vistas: skyscrapers on one side, their lights reflected in the placid Yangtze.
