What to expect

30m

Kuixing Building & China's "8D City": Stand on what looks like the ground floor…then look over the edge to discover you’re actually 22 stories above another street. It’s one of the best places to understand why Chongqing’s layered cityscape is unlike anywhere else in China.
30m

Pea & Minced Pork Noodles: Meet Mr. Gong, who has spent more than a decade perfecting his own version of Chongqing’s favorite comfort food: Chongqing xiaomian. Handmade noodles, slow-cooked yellow peas, minced pork, silky tofu pudding, and chili oil come together in a bowl that perfectly captures Chongqing’s balance of bold flavors and comforting textures.
30m

Eat Chongqing's Everyday Classics: Long before Chongqing became famous for hotpot, locals gathered around tables filled with small shared dishes service with rice or tofu. Enjoy favorites like melt-in-your-mouth steamed pork belly, braised beef, and seasonal vegetables.
Jiefangbei Square
30m

Walk Through China's Mountain City: Wander through the historic neighborhoods around Jiefangbei and Daijia Alley, where old stone staircases and hidden lanes sit beneath Chongqing’s modern skyline. Once a major river port and wartime capital, this area has seen merchants, journalists, laborers, and families pass through for generations.
30m

Authentic Neighborhood Hotpot: Born along the Yangtze River over 100 years ago, Chongqing hotpot started as a simple meal for dock-workers and boat crew. Today, it’s a city obsession with more than 30,000 hot pot restaurants. Try the flavors that made it famous: rich beef tallow broth, fiery chilies, and numbing Sichuan peppercorns at a local neighborhood restaurant.
Hongya Cave
30m

Hongya Cave by Night: Take in the glowing view of Hongyadong, where traditional architecture meets Chongqing’s modern skyline. This is one of the most famous night-views in the city!
Jiefangbei Square
30m

A Sweet Chongqing Treat: After an evening of bold flavors, end on a sweet note with a traditional handmade dessert, just steps from Hongya Cave and overlooking Chongqing’s iconic Qiansimen Bridge.
