This spot is on quite a few content creators page but, no one is willing to give it up lol.

Can anyone tell me where it is please. It seems like some sort of residential building.

It’s called linhua road near qixinggang station. It’s like they built an apartment complex on the side of a cliff. There’s floating walkways, building entrances suspended in the air, it’s like a vertical maze, nothing like I’ve ever seen before.

I wish I could post photos but I lost my camera at chengdu east station right before chunjie. Fuck my stupid life lol

Ok, I'm not new to Chongqing, I've visited here a few times as my wife's family is here. I've seen the usual sights and sounds and marvels. What am i missing out on that the mainstream tourist may not find out about? Any cool air raid shelter conversations (not the hot pot or baijiu one), old town areas, art spaces, stuff around echobay/hops taproom as I'll be cut a rug there tomorrow night 😁 But just fire anything my way, even it's just something that fills a half hour of time to kill, or a nice craft beer/whiskey bar. I've 4 days left of this visit... 加油朋友们。

Hey everyone, I know this might be a long shot, but does anyone know if it's possible to visit the Dazu Rock Carvings tomorrow? Given that it’s the Spring Festival, I’m unsure whether the site will be open or maybe already fully booked.

Additionally, how does ticketing work? Is it necessary to book online in advance, or is it possible to just show up and purchase tickets on-site?

If availability is an issue, would arranging a private tour improve our chances? It’s just me and my sister traveling. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi!

So I'm currently in Chongqing (what an amazing city!) and was hoping to visit the three bridges. As its myself and my partner, for convenience and the minimum extra cost we were going to take Didi there. However what are the chances of getting back? Would it be easy to request Didi back once we are finished? Even better would be if therr are any recommendations to hire a driver that could possibly wait for us if that is a possibility? Any advice would be most appreciated! Thanks.

We are visiting from Beijing for 4 days for CNY - what are the best places to visit for the festival, please?

Hi, I'm planning to be in Chingqing in the summer for at least a month. I have two toddlers and I would like to know if anyone can give me an idea of the childcare/babysitting options? Do people have live-in help? Should I look for a centre to take the kids to? Anyone have any experience here?

I was in Chongqing like 10 years ago and remember going to this old, huge shopping building that sold linen, kitchenware, trinkets etc. It was not Hongya Cave. A lot of locals went here to buy goods. I think it was near Chaotianmen? Does it still exist??

Does anyone know where to find a baker store that sells authentic bread, European style, with kinda hard crust? Thanks

Anybody know of any bookstores that have an English section in Chongqing?

I am going to study at chongqing medical university from September is there any BJJ gym near by where I can train BJJ

Any recs for Rooftop or Skybars? Already know the Niccolo Bar.

I'll be going to Chongqing for the first time in March, first time in China to be exact. Other than the beautiful city I was wondering If I could find like the night fake markets, I've seen some stuff on youtube from ColliNAbroadcast fr Shanghai and beijing, and would love to visit one of those markets for the vibes and the fun haggling with locals for clothes and other stuff. Don't know if Chongqing has some of those markets? Thank you!

Hi all,

Im visiting Chongqing for the first time at the end of August. I would like to spend some time shopping, and to hide from the heat, humidity and sun during the day.

Where can I shop for:

anime stuff (like how Japan has Animate stores)

art, craft or handmade goods

handbags and accessories (cheap stuff, not designer or luxury brands)

If you can provide address or maps, that will be awesome. I will try to get there via public transport.

Thanks for your help!

About Citywalk

In 2023 and 2024, citywalk has blown up in big cities. It’s even evolved into things like city rides or city climbs. But let’s be real—paying to join a citywalk is still kind of niche.

A lot of people ask me, “Sally, why are you so dead set on turning this into a career?” The first time I joined a citywalk, I walked from Tongyuan Gate to Jiefangbei. Over 20 years later, I rediscovered a side of my hometown I thought I knew like the back of my hand—but couldn’t even call it by its true name.

Honestly, as a local doing citywalks in my own hometown, I feel like I’m more of a participant and witness than anything else. When I walk around my city, I look at it through this “witness” lens. There’s the city I remember from my childhood, the one I live in now, and a future version that will inevitably change again.

Really, everyone is part-witness, whether they realize it or not. No one’s just a tourist. If, during this process of witnessing, you start to feel something for the city, I believe that one day, you’ll naturally become a participant in its story, too.

That’s why I went back to Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shanghai, walking these oh-so-familiar streets with different guides, each showing me a fresh perspective.

Every stage of life brings a different connection to the city. Cities hold layers of memories—personal ones, shared ones, and everything in between. Citywalk, to me, is just one way to carry those memories. Whether it’s home or somewhere far away, whether it feels familiar or foreign, it all boils down to how deeply those memories and emotions are rooted.

Sometimes, I can’t even remember the names or faces of the people I walked with, but I remember the images of the city and the conversations we had.

Memory, I think, is the most precious thing citywalking has given me.

In the end, citywalk, for me, is about walking with a sense of curiosity and reflection—seeing life around you through the lens of history, culture, or human stories. That’s the key difference between this and just wandering aimlessly. It’s about consciously observing and understanding the city.

From my experience, citywalk bridges history with the present, the bustling with the forgotten. It reflects the society we’re living in today. As you walk, you move through the city, but there’s also this delicate, subtle flow of things within the city that you start to notice—things you’d miss if you were rushing or using any other form of transport.

And that’s exactly why I love it. It helps me discover things hidden in plain sight, things I’d never notice in everyday life. Citywalk allows me to truly step into the heart of the city. And maybe, as I walk, I’ll find answers to questions about life—or stumble upon new ones. It sparks fresh curiosity, and in that process, I think I grow a little, too.

Are there local, city ferries that transport commuters around the city, as opposed to tourist ferries?

Id like to ride on something that isn't a sightseeing cruise.

Maybe even ride up on of the river's to another town or city?

Hi, I am going to Chongqing from 18-21.1.2025 & Wulong from 21-23.1.2025, can anyone recommend me good Chinese massage service in both places with affordable price?
I've heard about 24-hours hotel combine with massage in Chongqing and it's so cool.

Is this hotel real? Address seems missing a building number and the map points to it... being in the middle of the river?

The photos look like a photoshop fantasy... Anyone got any idea if this place is legit? The reviews could easily all be fake...

I will be in Chongqing between the 19th and 24th and am wondering just how much the city will be affected before the actual Lunar New Year. The trains are of course impossible to book. I'm wondering what the scene at the airports will be like... Traveling with no mandarin will be... interesting!

Can anyone anticipate what a stay in Chongqing during this time is likely to be like?

Hi everyone, this is Jackson—better known as JourneyofJackson on social media, where I share content about the incredible city of Chongqing!

I’ve noticed many solo travelers struggling to navigate Chongqing. While I’ve started offering private tours for visitors, I know my time is limited, and I want to help more people explore this amazing city. That’s why I’m planning to create more English-language content to make it easier for you to discover Chongqing on your own.

From what I’ve seen, many foreigners stick to the Yuzhong area—and while Yuzhong is absolutely worth spending days exploring its hidden gems and random neighborhoods, there’s so much more to see beyond it! I’d love to provide more information to help travelers venture into other fascinating areas of Chongqing.

Also, I’m considering partnering with a rooftop hostel to create a shared social space where travelers from around the world can mingle, share experiences, and connect. I’d love to organize events that bring people together and create a unique, welcoming space in Chongqing. Does that sound like something you’d like to participate in?

So, I’d like to hear from you! Ask me anything about Chongqing, and let me know what kind of content or opportunities you’d find most helpful. Your feedback means the world to me!!

Hey y'all I'm a solo backpacker who's arriving to Chongqing tomorrow night. I'm 26 f, looking to meet other travelers to explore the city with! Someone to check out some restaurants, bars, spas, etc. Feel free to dm!

Will be in Chongqing for the next 7 weeks. Maybe someone know some good places for socializing and meeting english speaking ppl?
