let’s step into the cyberpunk city Chongqing!

Discover Chongqing’s most iconic landmarks and local life on this dynamic walking tour of the city’s downtown core! Start at Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street, the beating heart of Chongqing’s commerce—stand beneath the Liberation Monument, a symbol of the city’s post-war history, and soak in the buzz of skyscrapers and street food stalls. Next, head to Kuixing Building, a mind-bending architectural wonder where the 1st and 22nd floors connect to the street, perfectly showcasing Chongqing’s "Mountain City" vertical geography.

We’ll then wander to Hongya Cave, the stunning stilted diaojiaolou complex built into the cliffside—its neon-lit tiers at dusk are straight out of a fantasy world, with riverside views of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers. Cross to Chaotianmen, the confluence of the two rivers, where the futuristic Raffles City Chongqing (the "Horizontal Skyscraper") towers over the water, a modern icon of the city’s growth.

Finish at Chaotianmen Wholesale Market, a bustling hub for clothing, souvenirs, and local goods—here you’ll see the authentic side of Chongqing’s daily commerce, and I’ll share tips on haggling like a local! As a Chongqing native, I’ll weave in stories of the city’s past and present, with plenty of photo stops and time for your questions. Gentle walking, meets at Jiefangbei Square.
