Great cities always have a world-famous landmark, just like Tiananmen Square to Beijing, the Oriental Pearl to Shanghai, and Xiaomanyao to Guangzhou. Chongqing's former landmark was Jiefang Monument, but now it has a new landmark, that is, Chongqing Raffles, located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River. It is not only unique in shape and world-wide in size, but also has many honors, such as the world's longest horizontal skyscraper and the world's highest swimming pool. China's first themed observation deck, Singapore's largest investment project in China, Chongqing's largest foreign investment project... etc.

The intersection of two rivers, zero kilometers in Chongqing, a huge investment of 24 billion yuan, and a highly personalized shape design... Chongqing Raffles has all the conditions to become a landmark building. In front of it is the Chaotianmen Gate, which welcomes officials and connects saints in old Chongqing. Chongqing's dock culture is here. Born, an open and inclusive urban character is formed here. The buildings here are destined to attract attention, let alone a Raffles invested by an international giant and operated by a world-renowned designer. If the Yuzhong Peninsula, the mother city of Chongqing, is a giant ship, then Raffles is undoubtedly the sail of this giant ship. Perhaps it was its completion that allowed this ancient city to ride the wind and waves again and set sail. In the first half of this year, the city's GDP fell apart. After 20 years, it once again overtook Guangzhou and returned to the top four in the country.

For ordinary tourists, in addition to eating and checking in, Chongqing Raffles is the most exciting thing for ordinary tourists. This corridor is 300 meters long, 32.5 meters wide, and 26.5 meters high. With a total area of more than 10,000 square meters, it is known as the longest horizontal skyscraper in the world. The most recommended thing in this corridor is the Discovery Module Observation Deck located at the end.

The total area of the Exploration Module and Observation Deck is about 2500 square meters. It consists of an exhibition hall of about 900 square meters located on the first floor of the shopping center and an indoor and outdoor platform of about 1500 square meters on the side of the Jialing River at a height of 250 meters. The exhibition hall on the first floor of the shopping center covers an area of about 900 square meters. The main content is the theme exhibition of Chongqing's Journey to the Origin. The entire exhibition includes "The Origin of the City","Discovering Chongqing","Modern Times","Gate to the West", and "Opening the Eyes to the World"., and the six themed exhibition areas of "Participating in the Future". Reading carefully can enhance your understanding of Chongqing's urban humanities and historical changes.

In the themed exhibition of the Journey to the Origin of Chongqing, there are also interactive installations such as "Sichuan Dialect and Foreign School","Republic of China Photo Museum","Past Events in the West", and "Send Chongqing a Smiley Face", where you can learn a few words of Sichuan dialect and take photos from the Republic of China.(The picture above is a photo taken by Yu Fan at Chongqing Shanhuba Airport on the equipment of the Republic of China Photo Museum. When taking it, only the heads of tourists are photographed, and other content is systematically synthesized.), sending Chongqing a smiling face greatly enhances the fun of people coming here to explore Chongqing's history and culture, and then actively explore the deep-seated content of landscape connotation and humanistic extension.

After visiting the exhibition hall of the Chongqing Traceability Tour, you will enter a cool "space-time tunnel" composed of various curves. On both sides of the channel, the development vision of Chongqing City is played. It is very abstract, like a science fiction blockbuster. Being in it, as if "traveled" to the future.

Then we reached the 47th floor through the high-speed elevator playing science fiction travel pictures. As the sound of "Welcome to Mars" sounded, the elevator "cabin door" slowly opened in the Crystal Corridor Exploration Module. The first thing that came into view was a A large arc-shaped display screen shows humans exploring Mars and transforming Mars into a planet suitable for human survival. This area is located on one side of the Jialing River in the Crystal Corridor. The entire space consists of an indoor space with an area of approximately 1500 square meters and an outdoor viewing platform.

Among them, the indoor part of the exploration module has been built into a Mars Exploration Observatory, and five 5D somatosensory Mars themed exhibition areas show how humans transformed Mars one by one. It is said that the audio-visual content was jointly created by the National Geographic gold medal production team and Oscar-winning producers. The original production team of "Live On Mars" at the helm allows people to experience the great idea of humans exploring how to make Mars a second livable "Earth" while traveling.

However, compared with indoor science fiction ideas, people are more looking forward to outdoor viewing platforms. At the port of the Crystal Corridor next to the Jialing River, there is a protruding semicircular suspended glass viewing platform. Not only does this have the best urban viewing angle in Chongqing, the viewing platform at the foot of the "Infinite Abyss" can also be called a "stage for the brave". Those who are timid will be discouraged, while those who are brave will stroll easily, or overlook the beautiful scenery of the two rivers, or take photos of famous shapes on the platform.

Overlooking the beautiful scenery of Chongqing's two rivers and four coasts at an altitude of 250 meters, you can enjoy a 270-degree panoramic view. The famous Jiefangbei Monument, Jiangbeizui, Danzishi, Chaotianmen Bridge, Hongya Cave, Yangtze River Cableway, Da Jinying, Nanbin Road, Beibin Road and many other well-known Chongqing Internet celebrity check-in spots can be seen in the panoramic view.

At your feet is the famous Chaotianmen Square, where the Yangtze River and Jialing River meet. Different river colors blend here. It is as unique as Chongqing's Yuanyang Hot Pot. The ships docked on the dock have begun to turn on their lights. There are luxury cruise ships that focus on the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and urban passenger ships that operate night tours of the two rivers. They are huge 100 meters long from the dock, but they are as mini as toy boats when viewed from an altitude of 250 meters.

In Yu Fan's view, this observation deck is not simple. It not only allows people who love the city to come here to overlook the beautiful scenery of the two rivers and enjoy the perfect sunset and night scenery of the city, but also allows them to take pictures of the sky from the top of the city 250 meters. The effect of the mirror, whether standing or sitting, can take a perfect reflection; if you encounter the beginning of the rain and the clouds are filled with clouds and clouds, you will still feel like walking among the clouds and riding on the clouds.

After experiencing the magical collision between "Mars" and 8D Chongqing at the Discovery Module Observation Deck, take the elevator down to the first floor and you will see the distinctive Chongqing Raffles Official Souvenir Store. There are hundreds of souvenirs in a dazzling array. If you encounter them, you can buy some and take them back as a souvenir, or bring a companion gift to your relatives and friends.

It is said that these souvenirs were originally designed by Chongqing Raffles and Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts, including Chongqing Old City Gate, Hot Pot, 8D City, Chaotianmen Wharf, Raffles Manuscripts, Shancheng, Qiaodu... and many other Chongqing elements. Souvenirs types include luggage tags, clothes, jewelry, maps, cups, models, notebooks, refrigerator stickers, silk scarves, books, key chains, etc.

Outside the souvenir store is the Chongqing Intangible Cultural Heritage Market and the accompanying gift area. It collects a large number of Chongqing specialties, famous snacks and various handicrafts, such as Hechuan peach blossoms, Jiangjin rice flower grains, hot pot base, oddly flavored beans, Chengkou bacon, Qijiang farmer prints, Rongchang folding fans..., etc., many of which are geographical indication products or century-old hometown names. They have everything to eat, use, and gifts. If you also like to buy, you will definitely find here. Chongqing flavor.

Chongqing Raffles Discovery Cabin·Observation Deck integrates natural landscape, urban history, and human exploration, connects history and future, Chongqing and the world, and will inevitably become a city viewing resort similar to Guangzhou Xiaomanyao and Shanghai Oriental Pearl., and will also become one of the Internet celebrity attractions that netizens are rushing to check in. View scenery, watch, walk in the clouds; take photos, check in, and top of the city! For those of you who like to travel, I believe you will not miss it.
