Honestly amazing views, I’d recommend visiting to anyone. The walk is not long, but in the summer it’s important you bring water.

I took the Yangtze River Cableway in Chongqing as a souvenir. It's the off-season now, so it wasn't too crowded, but the cableway was packed, like riding a bus. The whole ride was just over 3 minutes long, which was short.

Yes worth the visit for the price and the weather was good when we travelled. The pandas are super cute. But I saw a rabbit was place in the snake enclosure…so sad!

Absolutely fantastic, a must-do activity! The panoramic view of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers in Chongqing at night is breathtaking! The only downside was that the three of us didn't know how to get to the pier to board the boat. Because of time constraints, we were forced to pay an extra 60 yuan for directions! Actually, we later learned that the pier was right outside the first floor of Hongyadong! Don't be silly and not know this!

In early November, only the section leading down to the sightseeing bus stop at the top of the Three Gorges had red leaves, but the scenery along the way was spectacular. After taking the ferry from Baidi City, you can see the Qutang Gorge, the ancient forts, walk the Sixty-Six Bends, and climb the final steep slope, a journey of about ten kilometers. The latter half of the climb is slightly steeper, but the path is easier to walk. As the altitude increases, the river scenery becomes even more magnificent, making it a very worthwhile trip. The shuttle buses from the train station to the scenic area are very convenient, highly recommended!

💖This time in Chongqing, I chose the Chongqing Millennium Smart View Hotel (Jiefangbei-Hongyadong Branch), and the experience was fantastic! I had to share it with you all! 📍 Hotel Location: The hotel is located in the heart of Jiefangbei, within the New Chongqing Apartment complex. Xiaoshizi subway station is downstairs, and it's also very close to the Yangtze River Cableway, just a few minutes' walk from Jiefangbei. Getting to Hongyadong is even more convenient, about an 8-minute walk. 🏨 Hotel Facilities: The hotel rooms are spacious, featuring a sophisticated minimalist design. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer unbeatable views, and every room is a river-view room. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the confluence of the two rivers from your bed, and at night you can see the dazzling night view of Hongyadong. For an even wider view, you can go to the hotel's 6th or 7th floor observation deck to overlook most of Chongqing. The rooms are equipped with smart home devices, and some room types have projectors, perfect for relaxation. 🌃 Hongyadong: Hongyadong is a short walk from the hotel. At night, Hongyadong is brightly lit, resembling a fairytale world. Here are a few recommended photo spots: First, the Qianximen Bridge offers panoramic views of Hongyadong and its reflection in the Jialing River; second, across the street from the first floor of Hongyadong, use your phone's live photo mode with Hongyadong as a backdrop for a cyberpunk-style shot; third, the city night view observation deck on the 11th floor of Hongyadong provides a breathtaking view of the alleyways inside Hongyadong and the nightscape of the Qianximen Bridge. 🍜 Dining Experience: The hotel is surrounded by numerous restaurants. There are many snack shops downstairs where you can enjoy authentic Chongqing noodles, hot and sour noodles, and more. A few minutes' walk to Jiefangbei, there's also the Bayi Food Street, offering various Chongqing specialties like roasted pig brains and Chongqing-style glutinous rice balls—all very authentic. In short, my stay at the Chongqing Millennium Smart View Hotel Jiefangbei Hongyadong Branch allowed me to experience the unique charm of Chongqing. The hotel's excellent location and comfortable facilities added a lot of enjoyment to my trip, and I will definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit Chongqing!

A truly perfect recommendation! Our group of 9 and a half senior citizens chartered a car to explore Chongqing, visiting Fairy Mountain National Forest Park, the Three Natural Bridges, and the Wujiang River Viewpoint (Wujiang Gallery). The experience far exceeded our expectations! The driver's car was not only spotless, but the interior temperature was also perfectly set, making the seniors feel comfortable and at ease from the moment they got in. The driving was also exceptionally smooth throughout the journey, without any bumps or jolting, giving us a great sense of security. He provided detailed explanations of Chongqing's local customs and culture along the way, and the itinerary was well-planned, with perfectly timed stops at each attraction – neither rushed nor overly drawn-out. What's most commendable is that the elderly members of our group tend to be talkative and ask many questions, but the driver was incredibly patient throughout the entire trip. He answered every question, whether it was a repetitive one or a minor inquiry, with great care. At the attractions, he proactively reminded us to be careful where the roads were slippery, to avoid getting lost, and to avoid backtracking. He even explained the tour route clearly and thoroughly. He was considerate and thoughtful in every aspect, ensuring that the elderly had a happy and worry-free trip. Such a wonderful driver deserves double praise!

The only way to visit the Baodingshan Stone Carvings is from the visitor center. Arrive at 8:30, take the first bus at 8:50, go to the mountain gate, then take the shuttle bus to the museum, and walk to the stone carvings after that. Make sure to visit before the tour groups finish before 11:00, as there are very few people and you can take photos freely.
