The summer of Chongqing has begun. The night view of Monument to the people's Liberation Hongya Cave and the light rail passing through Liziba have all become places opened by foreign friends. You can say that you are "true love" for traveling in Chongqing in July and August! What are the first places to choose when traveling to Chongqing?

Magnetic port

As a popular tourist city, Chongqing has many must visit attractions, and Ciqikou Ancient Town is one of the must visit attractions. Every city has its own ancient town, but each town has some local snacks and culture that represent the local characteristics!

Located on the banks of Jialing River in Shapingba District, Chongqing, it was founded in the Song Dynasty and covers an area of 1.5 square kilometers. It borders Jialing River to the east, Shapingba to the south, Tongjiaqiao to the west, and Shijingpo to the north. It is a key protected traditional cultural street in Chongqing that has been preserved for thousands of years.

The modern ancient town has more or less lost its antiquity and has been replaced by the commercial atmosphere. Ciqikou is no exception. The street is full of various snacks, including seven color cotton, Indian flying cakes. What is worth buying in Ciqikou is the long queue of Chen Fried Dough Twists, which has many tastes and moderate prices, as well as Chongqing crispy peppers!

Travel advice for Ciqikou: There are many uphill slopes, so it is recommended to wear flat shoes or sports shoes. The scenic area is free!

Liziba through building light rail

Since Chongqing became an internet famous city, the Liziba through building light rail has become a must visit place for tourists from other places. No matter when they pass by, they can see people crowded along the road under the light rail station. In order to capture the moment when the light rail passes through the building, they are waiting with cameras and phones.

The Liziba Light Rail Transit is not a traditional scenic spot, but due to its popularity, in order to alleviate the congestion of people, the Liziba Light Rail Station observation deck has been built, so that tourists can take photos to their heart's content! Shoot it! Shoot it!

It is recommended to take Line 2 and take the Fotuguan subway station to Liziba light rail station. Sit at the front of the light rail, close to the driver's seat, and sit back and forth to take a short video. Experience the beauty of the moment when the light rail passes through the building and capture the terrain of Chongqing very well.

Travel advice: Take a light rail ride every 5 minutes or so, be careful of heatstroke in hot weather!

Nanshan Laojun Cave

The beautiful natural scenery on top of Laojun Mountain and the unique humanistic architecture of Laojun Cave Taoist Temple complement each other, together forming the "scenic beauty" of Laojun Cave Taoist Temple!

Laojun Cave Travel Guide: While experiencing the topography and culture of Chongqing by climbing hills and hills, what I most want to go to is to climb high and enjoy the whole picture of Chongqing, so it's worth it no matter how tired it is! Laojun Cave is open until 5pm and not open at night!

Yangtze River Cableway

As a first-time visitor to Chongqing, taking the Yangtze River Cableway is a must-have. In addition to being a daily means of transportation, it also provides a panoramic view of the Yangtze River. With a large number of people, the queue takes about half an hour on-site, and tickets can also be purchased online in advance.

The ticket for the Yangtze River Cableway is 20 yuan per person, and it only takes a few minutes to reach the opposite bank. Along the way, you can enjoy the scenery on the river, which is a large cable car!

Visiting Chongqing not only allows you to enjoy the scenery during the day, but also the criss crossing streets and alleys. After seeing the bustling city, the lights come on, and the night of Chongqing people begins!

Hongya Cave

Chongqing is a 3D magical city, and one of the most "magical" buildings is Hongya Cave. The ground floor is located on the side of Binjiang Road, and you can take the elevator up. The exit on the 4th floor is a snack street with various shops lining the streets, such as hotpot, spicy noodles, skewers, etc. The shops shout on the bluestone road, taking you through the city in a second. Looking around, the scenery across the Jialing River is in full view!

Hongyadong Photography Guide: The most crowded photo spot can be a must-have for taking snap photos. If you don't want to get crowded, you can also walk forward, especially towards the bridge where there are few people and it's perfect for taking pictures of people! The river view across the river is also worth taking a photo of!

Key point: To avoid overcrowding at the entrance of Hongya Cave, you can choose to go down from the "Hongpu Hospitality Hotel" next to the Kuixing Tower Square at Linjiang Gate. It's a secret passage known only to the locals, as it's crowded or not! Very efficient!

Chongqing Grand Theatre

Chongqing Grand Theatre, as the name suggests, is a place to watch plays. It is located directly across from Hongya Cave, and besides being able to watch plays, the night view here is the main purpose for people to check in!

Photo guide: There are two points worth taking photos at the Grand Theater

Agricultural Bank of China: Here, you can capture the full view of Hongya Cave on the opposite bank through the reflection of water, as well as the scene of a spherical object on the opposite side. With just one snap, you can get a big picture!

At the entrance of the Grand Theater: a super unbeatable night landmark. Take silhouettes at the Grand Theater, with different colors on the screen and larger movements. Don't wear clothes that are too fat or loose. It is recommended to take photos with the posture of "LOVE, Qi Wave Skill, Primitive Evolution Process"! You can also bring a transparent umbrella to take super artistic photos!

Changjiahui

Changjiahui is a new generation of shopping, cultural and tourism center with Chongqing characteristics. Madame Tussauds Wax Museum and Ocean Exploration Center are also located here. You can see Chaotianmen, where the Yangtze River and Jialing River converge, as well as the Grand Theater and Hongyadong across the river, all with excellent views!

Photo guide: Take the escalator up from the floor of Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Changjiahui and you will see a photo check-in box specifically designed for taking photos. Sitting on top of it, the photo will be framed with the river view across from it, making this commemorative photo no longer just a visit!

Top floor of Nanbin Road Marriott Hotel

On the rooftop of the 54th floor of the Marriott Hotel on Nanbin Road in Chongqing, I took three elevators to get up and down. With the back of Nanshan Mountain, I have a panoramic view of the night view of the Yangtze River!

On the top floor, there is a cloud bar with a low consumption bar. We specially mix a cocktail and enjoy the night view on the rooftop. The entire Yuzhong Peninsula can be seen in full view. As an outsider, I am simply impressed by the beauty of the mountain city at night! There will also be singers singing in the bar at night, most of whom are from the Philippines and Malaysia, with international and European standards!

When night invades the hustle and bustle of the city, we are just finding an excuse for ourselves - rest. When going out, choosing a hotel must be the first thing to do. However, there is a hotel near Jiaochangkou in Monument to the people's Liberation that can make my travel feel safe!

Advantageous geographical location

This 7-day hotel is located on the first floor of the Muslim Building, with a prime location. It is just across the street from Exit 4 of the Jiaochangkou Station on Metro Line 1, making it very convenient for transportation and checking in to nearby attractions!

Environment and viewing perspective

The style of the room belongs to a minimalist decoration style, with complete facilities and a monochrome style that feels warm and cozy. It feels like coming home, and different Chongqing perspectives can be seen from the front and back of the room. From the window, the Jialing River and the city's scenery can be seen in full view, with high-rise buildings and forests, lights and wine, and bustling traffic. Everyone loves its prosperity and noise, but little do they know that behind the hustle and bustle of the city lies loneliness

A unique 7-day experience

7-Day Hotel, an old brand hotel deeply rooted in people's hearts, but this time it was a different experience. We stayed at 7-Day Premium!

What is 7-day Premium?

Going out, tossing and turning due to work pressure that makes it difficult to fall asleep, or frequently suffering from insomnia and poor sleep, all can be solved here! 7-Day Premium focuses on creating a comfortable sleep experience, enjoying ultimate sleep and sleeping well every day! We have also launched a customized version of Coca Cola called 'Don't Insomnia Tonight'!

Are you still troubled by insomnia? In this bustling city, find a peaceful place and enter deep sleep. The layout and facilities of the 7-day premium room, as well as the comfort of bedding, make staying here for a night without any worries, full of a sense of belonging, just like relaxing at home. Have a good night's sleep, and there will be no insomnia tonight!

When traveling to Chongqing, food is essential, and the representative of Chongqing's characteristic cuisine is naturally hotpot! Around Monument to the people's Liberation, this hotpot is worth recommending!

In Yuli, hidden among the numerous food stalls on Bayi Road, there is a place worth checking in. Because it is located in Monument to the people's Liberation and not to cater to the taste of outsiders, the hot pot restaurant adheres to the traditional Chongqing hot pot, which attracts many foreign tourists to clock in. It is crowded every day, so you need to queue up if you are late!

The store is on the second floor, with booths, lobby, and private rooms. The storefront is decorated with various "bricks," "dustpans," "wooden chairs," and unpainted walls! Representing the simplicity of the people of Chongqing, but the dishes and flavors are not simple at all!

The bottom of the pot is mellow and has a sense of ceremony

Before serving the bottom of the pot in this shop, there will be an important sense of ceremony. There will be a ritual of unveiling the lucky talisman on the bottom of the pot, and every guest who comes to the table will experience it. The bottom of the pot is mellow and the more it is cooked, the more flavorful it becomes.

In Yuli "- A Thousand layer Surprise for You

Surprise bouquet with a thousand layers of belly, not just a thousand layers of belly, but more surprises! A fun and romantic novel dish that can be given to loved ones and friends. It teaches you how to capture your heart by offering flowers to Buddha in minutes. Have you been tempted by the novel way of eating?

Don't miss out on signature specialty dishes

Premium chilled fresh goose sausage

Goose sausage is a must-have dish for hotpot. The floating and ethereal dish served before the table has a strong sense of ceremony, very fresh, crisp and resilient!

Delicious and beautiful double pepper beef

The beef is thinly sliced, combined with two types of chili peppers and the triple heat of the pot bottom, making the tender and refreshing beef not aged at all, very flavorful!

Beef is passed down through three generations

The steamed and braised five spice beef has a layer of braised aroma, and when cooked in a red pot, it can better absorb the rich taste of the soup. The beef is particularly chewy!

Hotpot comes with snacks as standard

If you want to say that the standard snack of hotpot must be iced rice dumpling, which is the best partner! There are plenty of ingredients, such as red beans, job's tears, raisins, and fermented glutinous rice. The taste of freshly cooked rice dumpling and brown sugar smoothies makes the soft glutinous Q elastic and resilient, and it is especially greasy and spicy!

The homophone of "in Yuli" is "in you", and the name of the store is also particular. I think it is more about the boss's tolerance and love for the boss's wife, and it is about you - having you in every day's life. In Chongqing, in the eyes and in the heart??

The mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, the majestic bridges, and the grandeur of the mountains and rivers are hard to describe in words. The old streets that climb up the stairs, the stilted houses under the night sky, and the spicy hot pot are the Chongqing of Jianghu loyalty! If you haven't been to Chongqing yet, only by experiencing it firsthand can you truly appreciate this' magnificent city of mountains and waters'!
