Chongqing Chaotianmen is located at the confluence of Jialing River and Yangtze River on the Yuzhong Peninsula in Yuzhong District, Chongqing. It was one of the 17 ancient city gates in Chongqing before. The emerald green Jialing River water on the left side of Chaotianmen collides with the brownish yellow Yangtze River water on the right side, forming the "Jiama River" landscape. It flows thousands of miles into the East China Sea, known as the "golden section" of the Yangtze River.

Chaotianmen Pier is connected to Raffles City, serving as a hub for culture, art, technology, architecture, and urban transportation Integrate into it.

24-hour Cultural Corridor, Check in Chongqing Zero Kilometers

From Raffles City, you can walk directly to Chaotianmen Square, which is a 24-hour fast track that extends from Xinhua Road to Chaotianmen Square. The route is approximately 273 meters long and spans 4 floors, connecting the entrance of the shopping center's L4 floor and the entrance of Chaotianmen Square on the L1 floor, with a total of 108 steps. The design of the large staircase also incorporates the unique features of Chongqing's uphill terrain and the spirit of the people of the mountain city striving upwards

Previously, it may have been necessary to go through Changbin Road and Jiabin Road to reach Chaotianmen Square, but now it is possible to pass through the shopping center at any time to reach Chaotianmen Square and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Chongqing's two rivers.

There is a 5-meter diameter sign in the middle of Chaotianmen Square, which is the zero kilometer mark of Chongqing and a symbol of the city center.

Chongqing Eye, Top of the City · Raffles Exploration Warehouse Observation Deck

This unique attraction, supported by IP from National Geographic, is not to be missed. Take the elevator directly to the high-altitude crystal corridor on the 47th floor, where you can trace Chongqing's cultural memories and embark on a journey to explore the future of Mars.

The outdoor glass observation platform allows you to overlook the beautiful scenery of the two rivers and four banks of the city from a height of 250 meters.

The observation deck is also an excellent viewing point for the confluence of two rivers. To the right of Chaotianmen Square is the Yangtze River, and to the left is the Jialing River, which flows into the Yangtze River. The unique "Jiama River" scenery formed by the confluence of the two rivers is like entering the world of Hayao Miyazaki at sunset.

This has also become one of the popular spots for taking photos and checking in, especially as the sun sets. The suspended transparent glass floor reflects the clouds in the sky, as if walking into the city of the sky, the realm of glass.

Mountain City Garden

Shancheng Garden is located on the roof of the shopping center podium, seamlessly connected to Shaanxi Road, and is an urban public garden created by Chongqing Raffles City. This is also a place to enjoy the intersection of the two rivers. The Yangtze River and the Jialing River meet here. Due to the different colors of the two rivers, a boundary has been formed, which has been vividly compared to the Double-flavor hot pot in Chongqing hot pot by many people.

Entering Shancheng Garden, the first thing you see is the artwork "Blooming" by Chongqing based artist Jiao Xingtao, which is based on the city flower of Chongqing, the camellia. It has the meaning of "rebirth" and "blooming".

There are also attractions that showcase Chongqing's characteristics, such as the Diequan Waterfall, the "Blooming" and "Language of Gathering" series of art sculptures, and urban fountains.

Looking up, you can see the first horizontal skyscraper in China that spans four towers and connects six towers. The 250 meter high and 300 meter long "Crystal Corridor" has created many firsts in architectural history and attracted a lot of media attention and coverage internationally. It can be said to be a "world internet celebrity".

Chongqing souvenir and food district

It is interesting that Raffles City has integrated the concept of "two rivers converge" into our design, using different colors, materials, etc. to create three different zones: "Jialing River", "Yangtze River", and "Chaotianmen".

The L1 floor of Jialingjiang District is a Chongqing souvenir area mainly featuring local specialties. There are many famous local snacks in Chongqing, including traditional time-honored brands such as Bafangpin, Yuji Laopuzi, Wanqiantang, and Tang Xiaozu, all of which have Chongqing flavors.

The first premium coffee and liquor shop in the Central and Western District: Bar Mixato, a "third space" inspired by coffee, collides with alcoholic beverages, and combines urban characteristics, is worth PICK.

I believe everyone knows this famous quote from Kerouac, and this niche coffee shop at Raffles City was inspired by it. It is definitely a treasure shop, with authentic handmade coffee no less than Star Dad. A cup of coffee and a book can enjoy a quiet and leisurely afternoon.

Weightlessness restaurant

As the seventh weightlessness restaurant in China, not all cities can experience it and it is worth experiencing.

This is the internet famous restaurant Beso Western Restaurant hidden in the landmark Raffles City in Chongqing. It is the only restaurant with a large terrace.

The 720 degree viewing platform faces the Grand Theater and offers a panoramic view of the entire Jiangbei City.

Standing on the terrace in the daytime, I watched the dark green Jialing River water collide with the muddy yellow Yangtze River water, which was like the Double-flavor hot pot in Chongqing.

At sunset, it's the most romantic. Whether it's the delicious food on the table, the person sitting across from you, or the 720 degree river view, they are all illuminated by warm golden light, presenting the most charming and gentle appearance.

No hotpot, no Chongqing. One of the ways to open Chongqing is to enjoy the river view while eating hotpot. Downstairs is Chaotianmen Pier, and across from it is Nanshan. Friends three or four gather together, their family background is short, and the strongest friendship is rolling in the smoke of fireworks.

This restaurant is called Nanbin Impression Old Wharf Hot Pot, not on Nanbin Road, but on the 3rd floor of Raffles City across the river from Nanbin Glory.

Watching the ships passing by Jiangmen during the day, it's a different scene at night. Eating hotpot by the window, enjoying the fiery and hot taste of the mountain city

A few Chengdu people will definitely choose the red soup pot bottom as usual. The taste of numbing and spicy is just right, numbing is not picky, spicy is not burning, and the aroma of butter is rich.

The dishes are really fresh and very exquisite. I'll give you a mermaid. Premium water buffalo fresh tripe and nine foot memory goose intestine, natural green ecology with zero pollution, must not be scalded for too long, only nine seconds, crispy and tender in the mouth.

Lying at the Raffles Cloud Hotel, enjoying the sunset and river view

This time I am staying at the Ascott Raffles City Service Apartment in Chongqing, located within the landmark complex of Chongqing Raffles City. You can enjoy the confluence of two rivers and have direct access to Chaotianmen Pier. During the day, you can stroll around the mall.

There is a restaurant called COLLIN'S in the lobby on the first floor, which is a Singaporean restaurant and the first in China. Buffet breakfast is included in the room rate, and lunch or dinner can be ordered separately.

In addition to classic western food, COLLIN'S is the most distinctive local food in Singapore, including representative Singapore chili crab, Laksa, prawn Noodles in soup, meat bone tea, etc. In addition, roasted chicken fillet is also a dish that is almost sold out every day.

The meat bone tea here is very authentic, with a medicinal flavor that is not as strong as Malaysia's, but a just right fragrance.

Rou Gu is made by selecting high-quality fresh pork ribs wrapped in thick lean meat, and then adding various seasonings. Some even add various nourishing medicinal herbs to stew until it is tender.

The homemade salad in the restaurant is also highly recommended. As soon as you taste it, you will feel that the taste is unique. Who knows what sparks will be produced by the collision of concentrated lemon juice and crushed black pepper? Only by tasting it can you know.
