1： Revisit Chongqing and walk the same path as you came here

There are many stories in small towns, full of joy and happiness.

Even before coming to Chongqing, I was filled with fantasies about every scenery and every tree here. Some say it's young, some say it's ancient, and some say it's mysterious.

For me, Chongqing is warm and pleasant, with numerous internet famous attractions and bustling crowds crowding this ancient mountain city, but it has not diluted its cultural heritage.

Hongyadong, Qiansimen Bridge, Erchang Cultural Park... These familiar attractions, even though crowded, retain the unique flavor of the city.

Cut a memory and dream back to the non bustling city of Chongqing. There is always a place that lingers in my mind about Chongqing's urban memories, which is the non bustling city hotel. Each city is unique, full of "travel photography" and "travel" colors, making people linger and forget to leave.

1. Erchang Cultural and Creative Park
I hope to have someone like you, like the refreshing wind in the mountains, like the warm lights in the ancient city, as long as it's you in the end. The movie "Passing Through Your World" not only popularized Daocheng, but also lit up a niche place, the Erchang Cultural and Creative Park located on Eling Street in Chongqing. It was formerly a run down printing factory and was once popular, but unfortunately, time has passed and the printing factory has gradually disappeared in the tide of technology. Now it has transformed into a cultural and creative park full of literature and art. The sense of historical vicissitudes and fashion art collide with each other, emitting a unique charm. With the popularity of the movie, it has become a new cultural landmark in Chongqing, attracting many young people to come here.

Walking in the cultural and creative park, you can see various old factories, some of which are already in ruins, but with the designer's slight renovation, the collision of old and new instantly creates a strong artistic sense, making people feel as if they have traveled back to the industrial era. The trendy elements that can be seen everywhere in the cultural and creative park, a few simple English letters, paired with an industrial wall, create a full screen in style that can capture the texture of large films without the need for deliberate posing.

Here, art and commerce are integrated. In addition to various art studios, there are also bars and cafes of different sizes, leading you into this chaotic world.

2. Yangtze River Cableway
As is well known, Chongqing is also known as the Mountain City. As a mountainous city, it has the largest number of bridges in Chinese cities and many breathtaking cross river cable cars. Among them, the Yangtze River Cable Car is the second cross river cable car in Chongqing, which has been in operation for more than 30 years and is known as the "first aerial corridor of the Yangtze River" and the "Mountain City Air Bus".

The Yangtze River Cableway is a large-scale cross river passenger cableway designed and manufactured by China, with a total length of 1166 meters. It connects Yuzhong District and Nan'an District in Chongqing. As a great project in Chongqing's infrastructure engineering, the construction of the Yangtze River Cableway not only facilitates citizens, but also becomes the best viewing platform overlooking the entire Chongqing scenery, becoming a must visit place for tourists.

The cabin of the cableway is orange in color, echoing the Dongshimen Bridge from afar. LED night lights are installed on the cabin, which is full of technological fun. Sitting on the bridge, slowly moving forward, the waves are surging in front of me, surrounded by towering buildings, and distant mountains stretch endlessly. The whole city is nestled in the embrace of green mountains, and the urban landscape of Chongqing is fully revealed.

Climbing the Yangtze River Cableway, one can feel the authentic Chongqing. Nowadays, the Yangtze River Cableway has become a resounding city card of Chongqing, attracting many tourists to come one after another. There are also numerous film and television works filmed here.

3. Hongya Cave
Quietly ask the holy monk if his daughter is beautiful. When it comes to Hongya Cave, one will think of the scene in Nv ü guo in Journey to the West, where beautiful things always evoke imagination.

Some people say that a trip to Chongqing without visiting Hongya Cave is destined to be imperfect. The stilted buildings built by the river, nestled by mountains and waters, are charming under the night sky, like a girl who is not like the smoke and fire of the human world. Walking slowly like me, they are so beautiful that they are touching. As a witness to Chongqing's historical and cultural heritage and a symbol of the city's spirit, this place preserves the most authentic Bayu style, with architectural techniques such as hanging feet, staggered stacking, and cliff facing, taking you on a journey to appreciate the most traditional craftsmanship.

Hongyadong integrates catering, entertainment, leisure, health care, hotels, and characteristic cultural shopping, forming a unique "three-dimensional aerial pedestrian street" that is eye-catching.

Coming here, in addition to savoring the authentic Ba Yu culture, you can also enjoy the most authentic Chongqing hotpot. The scenic area is divided into Dynamic Bar Street, Ba Yu Style Street, Feast Street Food Street, and City Balcony Exotic Style Street, each with its own strengths. The Bar Street is young and enthusiastic, the Style Street has a quaint charm, the Food Street is delicious and tempting, and the Exotic Style Street is peaceful and beautiful, making it a place that people will linger and forget to leave.

If Hongyadong during the day is a pure and elegant lady from a wealthy family, then whenever night falls, she becomes a young girl at the beginning of her love life, so beautiful that it is overwhelming.

4. A Tree Scenic Area
A tree scenic area, with a name that sounds intriguing, has traveled half of China. It is refreshing to hear such a simple and understandable name for the first time. A tree scenic area, as the name suggests, is a scenic area named after a tree. So, what kind of tree is this? That is the Huangjue tree in Chongqing. The scenic area features a tree observation deck as its main feature, making it the first choice for Chongqing guests to enjoy the night view of the mountain city.

The observation deck is equipped with a photography platform and a leisure tea drinking platform. The railings here are all paved with granite and copper flower boards, which are quaint and elegant, complementing the surrounding vegetation with a full style. Located halfway up the mountain, the observation deck faces the main urban area of Chongqing across the river. Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of Chongqing and enjoy the joy of "seeing all the mountains and small places".

At sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun covers the entire mountain city, and the entire city is shrouded in a hazy color, ethereal and like a fairyland. At the beginning of the day, the neon lights twinkle, and when you look around, you see a sea of lights and wine. When the hustle and bustle fades away, the whole city returns to tranquility once again. A tree, a city, a mountainous landscape, this unique and niche place embodies countless diverse Chongqing.

5. Qiansimen Bridge
If mountains are the foundation of Chongqing, then bridges are the soul of Chongqing. There are many bridges in Chongqing, and the most unmissable one is undoubtedly the Qiansimen Bridge, an internet famous bridge with diverse charm. The full name of Qiansimen Bridge is Qiansimen Jialing River Bridge. It was built in 2009 and took six years to complete. It was officially opened to traffic on April 29, 2015. The bridge starts from Cangbai Road in the south and ends at Jiangbeicheng Street South Road in the north, with a total length of 1647 meters. The bridge adopts a double-layer design, with the upper layer being a two-way four lane urban expressway and the lower layer being a double track urban transportation, which is fashionable, convenient, and full of modernity.

The bridge is themed in orange, youthful and fashionable, interpreting the passion of the mountain city without reservation. In addition to the unique charm of the bridge itself, it is also uniquely located, blending into the mountains and waters of Chongqing, showcasing the beauty of Chongqing's "landscape city bridge". This is the best place to overlook Hongya Cave, with a group of suspended buildings that progress layer by layer, combining classical and modern elements, and showcasing the charm of Ba Yu.

For the convenience of tourists taking photos and staying, there are also sightseeing corridors on both sides of the upper lane of the bridge. Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery on both sides of the Jialing River, whether it is fashionable, romantic, or classical.

6. Liziba
There are many popular tourist attractions in Chongqing, such as Hongyadong and Qiansimen Bridge. There is also such a scenic spot that is definitely not to be missed. As a unique urban landmark of Chongqing, it attracts many visitors one after another. It is the Liziba Station on the eighth floor of the property building of Chongqing Rail Transit Company, with station number 207.

Nowadays, 207 is not just a number, but also a time stamp imprinted in the hearts of Chongqing people. If the water train in Spirited Away brings you dreams and romance, then the light rail at Liziba Station allows you endless thrills and joy, with a kind of heavenly flying fairy joy. Tall buildings stand tall on both sides of the light rail, which have been weathered by wind and rain with traces of time. The green grass below the light rail is lush, and the ancient stone walls exude vitality. The collision of old and new blends together, creating a fresh yet elegant atmosphere.

It is said that the station was originally designed to save space, but now it has become a popular tourist attraction in Chongqing. During holidays, the station is crowded with people just to see the charm of the light rail. Many people may wonder if the train passing through the wall will cause some inconvenience to local residents? Such concerns are unnecessary. As early as the beginning of the design, the designer used low-noise, low vibration inflatable rubber tires and air springs to support the vehicle body, in order to minimize the vibration and noise impact caused by train operation. In this way, the station and the residential building complement each other without interfering with each other, achieving a beautiful landscape of harmonious coexistence.

7. Goose Ridge Park
In the impression of most people, Chongqing is warm, modern, and a paradise in the hearts of young people. Those dreams about ideals and freedom can find a home here. Nevertheless, within this passionate city, there are still three or two ancient cultural relics hidden, adding a touch of charm to the city.

Located on Eling Street in Yuzhong District, Chongqing, Eling Park, formerly known as Liyuan or Yiyuan, is said to have been a private garden built by Li Zhanyang, a wealthy businessman from Chongqing in the late Qing Dynasty, for his father Li Yaoting. It was not until 1958 that it was renamed Eling Park. The overall tone of the park is quaint and natural, unlike some popular tourist attractions. There are no noisy crowds, nor can you see the figures of internet celebrities checking in. Instead, there is an endless amount of tranquility and beauty, making it an excellent place to relax and stroll around. The park is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, with a prime location and a large green area. It is fresh, quaint, and full of poetic charm.

The Soviet Martyrs' Tomb located in the eastern part of Goose Ridge Park is the joint burial tomb of Soviet pilots Stolov and Kartnov. The tombstone looks like a lighthouse from a distance, and the inscription on the tombstone is timeless and awe inspiring.

4： One city, one quality, recommended by experienced travelers

Amidst the colorful clouds of Emperor Bai's resignation, the thousand mile long Jiangling is returned in one day. My first impression of Chongqing was given by the poet Li Bai, but now it's better to see than to see. It's really unforgettable.

The attractions are certainly eye-catching, but the most satisfying part is undoubtedly this comfortable accommodation journey, which adds a touch of softness and warmth to the entire journey. On this trip to Chongqing, I accidentally came across such a hotel. At first, I chose it because of its advantageous location near Hongyadong, which is definitely the harvest ground of Chongqing's beautiful scenery. However, some people fall in love at first sight, and some hotels do the same.

The Feifan Chengpin Hotel has numerous branches in Chongqing, and I chose the Hongyadong branch this time. It is located not far from the Linjiangmen subway station and has convenient transportation, saving a lot of time for the journey. When I first arrived at the hotel, it was already shrouded in darkness. Against the backdrop of cold lights, the hotel was full of artistic sense. It did not have the noble and elegant demeanor, but had a self-evident bourgeois charm, which particularly attracted me.

As an aerial garden hotel, the overall style of the hotel is simple yet elegant, revealing the cultural heritage of the mountain city everywhere. The appearance of the hotel is a collision of gray, white, and black, exuding a strong sense of luxury and simplicity with a hint of refinement, which is in line with the aesthetic standards of young people.

Entering the hotel, the design of the lobby is eye-catching. The lobby is dominated by the combination of light and dark wood colors, creating a strong sense of home and warmth. Under the warm yellow lights, the floor is clean and transparent, spotless, instantly injecting a touch of winter atmosphere into the originally cold walls, making people feel at home.

On the floor of the lobby, there are several high-quality wooden piers, a simple combination of khaki, white, and black, which maximizes aesthetics. The most surprising thing is the background wall of the hotel front desk, which features a mountain city photo as the background, highlighting the hotel's concept of "one city, one quality". It perfectly combines urban culture with hotel spirit, and the collision of small love and big love interprets the hotel's warmth without reservation.

Under the enthusiastic guidance of the front desk, I successfully completed the check-in procedures and ran all the way to my room. I had accumulated a lot of fatigue during the day, and at this moment, I couldn't wait to lie on the comfortable bed and feel the free running of my cells. The room has a large area and a light and natural decoration style. There is no excessive emphasis on color, but it exudes a sense of design everywhere. The contrast between light brown and gray may seem out of place, but in fact, the combination of cool and warm colors is applied to the extreme, which is refreshing.

Of course, the most captivating feature is the background wall at the head of the bed. A large urban night view covers the wall, showcasing the enthusiasm and historical heritage of Chongqing, once again interpreting the spirit of "one city, one product". The room is equipped with all kinds of facilities, including a bright TV, exquisite coffee table, comfortable double sofa, and clean bathroom, without any unnecessary decorations. Everything is just right, very suitable for business travelers. While ensuring the quality of service, it brings cultural and visual surprises to guests, making people's hearts flutter.

The decoration of the room, from the background wall to the clothes rack, endows the unique soul of the mountain city. The seemingly unintentional use adds bricks and tiles to the hotel's concept, making people feel culturally washed.

Finally, I have to praise the hotel's restaurant. The decoration style is always light and simple, with a variety of delicious snacks available, allowing people to feel the soft time while also indulging in a feast. Before leaving, I accidentally discovered that the hotel lobby also has a small office space equipped with Apple computers and other devices, which is definitely a charming place for business travelers.

A city, a wall, and a comfortable time to savor. Regarding accommodation, culture, and love, this is the most ideal living experience that Non Fanchengpin Hotel has brought me.

【 Transportation 】

The transportation in Chongqing is very convenient, with planes, trains, and highways all being very convenient. Various places can choose the transportation methods that they consider convenient to go to.

Airplane:

The airport in Chongqing is called Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport, located in Lianglu Town, Yubei District. The airport just opened a new terminal T3 last year, which is a bit far from the previous T2 terminal and requires a shuttle bus to reach. In addition, there are airport buses and subways directly to the city center here, which are very convenient and fast.

train:

At present, there are three main railway stations in Chongqing, namely Chongqing Station, Chongqing North Station, and Chongqing West Station. Chongqing Railway Station is a historic old railway station, adjacent to the bus station with the most frequent trips in Chongqing. Chongqing North Station and Chongqing West Station are mainly high-speed railway stations. It is also important to note that the South Square and North Square of Chongqing North Station are far apart and not connected. It is recommended to ask friends in Chongqing in advance.

Car:

It is worth noting that there are many bus stations in Chongqing, as it is one of the important transportation hubs in the southwest region. There are many long-distance bus stations in the city, and shuttle buses to surrounding provinces and cities are also frequent. When buying tickets, be sure to ask clearly: the prices of many long-distance buses running on highways and ordinary highways are different.

Self driving: If you know how to drive, you can choose to rent a car for self driving. For example, when going to the Peach Blossom Spring scenic area or the Ordovician period, public transportation is not particularly convenient, so it is very convenient to drive there by yourself.
