2、 Chongqing People's Grand Hall: General

The landmark building in Chongqing is just opposite the Three Gorges Museum. When making an appointment on the official account of the auditorium, there are two kinds of payment amounts, one is 4 yuan, the other is 0 yuan. Naturally, it is about 0 yuan. As a result, when I arrived at the door, I was told that 0 yuan is for special people (soldiers, doctors, etc.), but there was no relevant explanation when I placed the order, so I finally bought a 4 yuan ticket to have a look. There isn't really anything special inside, it's purely to satisfy curiosity, and I strongly recommend opening it up for free.

3、 Yangtze River Cableway: Recommended

You must come to Chongqing to experience it, it's just frustrating queuing up. I came here relatively well this time, after all, it's the off-season, and with the impact of the epidemic, I waited in line for less than 10 minutes, which is exaggerated during the peak season. The real thing is queuing for hours and taking a few minutes, haha.

3、 Danzishi Old Street: Recommended

A newly built commercial street, if placed on a flat surface, may seem ordinary, but due to the unique terrain of the mountain city, the effect is particularly good. It offers a view of Chaotianmen and is recommended to come at night to enjoy the night view. There are two entrances, and Gao De guided me to the upper entrance, which can actually be accessed from the Danzishi Pier. There are elevators along the way, making it very friendly to tourists.

4、 Mountain City Trail: Recommended

Entrance and Exit: Next to the People's Court of Yuzhong District, Zhongxing Road Shancheng Lane Consul Lane Tongyuan Gate (up). If you don't want to climb the slope, you can choose to enter through Tongyuan Gate and go all the way down. After entering from Zhongxing Road, not far from the observation deck, there is a suggestion to taste rice cakes, which cannot be found in Chengdu. The mountain city lane is the essence of the trail, which is still under construction. You can feel the way of Chongqing people returning home when they climb up the hill. It should be noted that there is only one section of the suspended boardwalk. After visiting, do not continue walking upwards. Only by returning along the way can you continue to explore Shancheng Lane. Going upwards is all on the mountain side and has no visiting value, except for those who purely enjoy hiking. There are many old high-rise residential buildings next to the trail, without elevators. I truly admire the perseverance of the people of Chongqing.

At the end of the suspended boardwalk, you can turn back when you see this stone monument:

5、 Yule Town: Ordinary

The park is not large, it can be considered as a mini version of Happy Valley. The popular online experience of flying over Chongqing is actually the same type of facility as flying over Sichuan in Chengdu Happy Valley, with better graphics and sound effects. At present, admission to the park is free. If you want to play the amusement facilities, it is recommended to buy a pass for cost-effectiveness. One of the amusement facilities is similar to the punishment received by Running Man in Taiwan, and it feels smaller in scale. This one is more distinctive, while the others are considered mainstream goods.

6、 Bai Mansion: Disappointed

When I went there, I was very excited, but after watching it, I felt very disappointed. I was deceived by literary works. The palm sized place was finished in just over 10 minutes. The torture cave and dungeon were closed, and there were introductions of martyrs' bodies in each room. Without asking, I didn't know that these were actually prison cells, and there was no explanation. There is a statue on the head of the little carrot, without any explanation. People who are not familiar with that period of history will still think it is a modern red scarf, sigh. Emotionally speaking, this place must be visited, but after seeing it, there really isn't much emotion, sigh. Too many scenic spots in the entire Hongyan Scenic Area are under maintenance, and the same goes for Zhazidong. Unfortunately.

6、 Zhongshan Fourth Road: strongly not recommended

This is a street with no ornamental value at all. The hydrology online is too powerful, and I don't even have the desire to take photos. It's very ordinary, and the entire street has no ornamental value. Apart from having two or three former sites of the Republic of China, the so-called Republican style is completely misleading. Personally, I strongly do not recommend coming here to waste time (I do not accept rebuttals, if there are different opinions, you are right, I am wrong).

7、 Graffiti Street: Not recommended

Also influenced by online literature, taking a car for over an hour to browse is better than Zhongshan Guolu. At least the graffiti is real, it's just random and disorganized., In addition to the walls and residential buildings near the entrance of Chuanmei, the paintings of the residential buildings also appear old and have some areas of detachment. The whole graffiti is actually concentrated near the Chuanmei school gate, maybe I found the wrong place, sigh. The Traffic Tea House is located downstairs in a building with a narrow entrance. Please be careful not to miss it. Due to the heavy sense of loss, you did not enter the tea house.

8： Chongqing Night Scene: Recommended

The night view of Chongqing is truly beautiful, while Chengdu is completely overwhelmed (does Chengdu have a night view?), but unfortunately, when I came to see the night view three times before and after, I encountered large black and blurry scenes. I don't know why many high-rise buildings' landscape lights were not turned on, which is really puzzling. Therefore, I don't recommend watching the night view during the Two Rivers Tour. You can consider visiting Nanbin Park or Chaotianmen or Hongyadong to see some parts.

9、 Dazu Rock Carvings: highly recommended

Whether traveling from Chongqing or Chengdu to Dazu to see stone carvings, it is recommended to take a bus (excluding self driving) because Dazu South Station (high-speed railway station) is too far from the Dazu urban area and requires a transfer to reach the scenic area.

It is very convenient to travel from Chongqing to Dazu Baoding Mountain Scenic Area. There is a direct train at Chongqing Bus Station (Caiyuanba) every morning at 9am, which costs 60 yuan. The ticket is at Gate 4 on the second floor, and you need to go to the service desk to exchange your ticket for a travel contract before boarding.

The Baodingshan+Beishan Ancient Carvings browsing ticket purchased on Ctrip is 57 yuan (half price for Sichuan, Chongqing, and Shandong), which is a good deal.

The most famous Dazu Rock Carvings are Baodingshan Stone Carvings and Beishan Stone Carvings, of which Baodingshan is the most spectacular and majestic, and is relatively well preserved, while Beishan Stone Carvings are severely damaged. Another thing to note is that there is a tourist line from Baoding Mountain to Beishan, which runs once an hour with a ticket price of 3 yuan. However, I did not see any buses to Baoding Mountain or other places from Beishan Stone Carving. I had to take a taxi or walk back to the city area. However, it's not feasible for Beishan to be far from the city center. You can also walk without rushing.

Both scenic spots are actually not big, and it only takes one or two hours to see them slowly. It is strongly recommended to have a guide to slowly appreciate the beauty of them.

The entrance of Baodingshan Scenic Area is still a long distance away from the entrance of the scenic area. It takes about 20 minutes to walk, and there is a Dazu Ancient Carving Museum to visit on the way. If you don't like walking, you can consider taking a sightseeing car, which costs 10 yuan per visit.

Due to carrying heavy objects on my back and wanting to save some energy, I took a sightseeing bus to the exit of the scenic area. However, the bus ended up taking me to a commercial street. I had to walk back to the tourist center along the commercial street before taking the tourist line to the Beishan Stone Carvings. This route was not short, so it was better to walk out directly and visit the museum on the way. Unfortunately, I made a mistake.

10、 Pick up:

Too many scenic spots are under maintenance. It's a pity that the ruins of the big bombing, the Refuse Cave, the Arhat Temple, the Nengren Temple, etc; The chubby girl's small noodle bowl at Lianglukou costs 9 yuan, but the bowl is just too big and the noodles only feel like 2 taels. The taste is not as good as before and tends to be numb. Chaotianmen Raffles City is actually quite spectacular, but I don't understand the sightseeing? Why isn't it designed to face the river directly; Don't eat the noodles of Monument to the people's Liberation, 20 yuan, too expensive; The Monument to the people's Liberation Store of Lazy Cat Apartment is 73 yuan/night, with good geographical location and complete facilities. I have been to Ciqikou and Crown Escalator before, but I haven't considered it this time. On the way to Hongyan from Chongqing Tiandi, you will pass by, there is no need to go specifically, it is just a commercial property.

11、 Interlude: At the entrance of Dazu Bus Station
I originally planned to take the 2:30 bus back to Chengdu, but it arrived at the station before 2:20 pm. Before I could even get off the taxi, someone asked the driver if he couldn't get to Chengdu. They said there were no buses available at the bus station and they were looking for someone to share a ride. They ignored him and went straight to the station to buy tickets. Strangely, the ticket window said it was out of stock and the bus would depart at 2 o'clock. I asked her if it wasn't the 2:30 bus, because at 2:10, tickets could still be purchased on my phone. I only thought of buying at the window to save 3 yuan in transaction fees. She was stunned for a moment and said that because of the epidemic situation (there were several cases of COVID-19 since December 6 in Chengdu, and I returned on December 11), the bus stopped in the afternoon, and the bus would only be available in the morning if I had to leave. At that time, before I could react, I was thinking about taking the high-speed train. I foolishly went out to greet the person who had just mentioned carpooling to go to the high-speed train station. At this moment, a woman walked by and said that her friend had told me that the high-speed train wouldn't work and that she needed a nucleic acid test report to enter the station. I was surprised. I haven't heard about the lockdown in Chengdu. My colleagues and family didn't call or message me, and I ignored her. I insisted on taking the high-speed train. 12306 immediately bought a ticket to Chengdu. At the bus stop, she chased after her and said that only one person was left. When she arrived in Chengdu at 130, she felt there was a problem and got on the bus and left. Take a smooth bus home from Dazu South Station. During the epidemic, you'd better stay more Dim sum when you go out, and be careful that those who have bad intentions will use the epidemic to make troubles.
