Explore and eat in Chongqing like a local

The most prosperous and fashionable place is Yuzhong District; and it is also the most romantic and nostalgic. It is the economic, cultural, and commercial center of Chongqing, as well as the birthplace of Ba-Yu culture, Anti-Japanese War culture, and Red Rock spirit. Located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and Jialing River, it is surrounded by the two rivers and resembles a peninsula.

Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street

Jiefangbei in Chongqing is comparable to Wangfujing in Beijing, Nanjing Road in Shanghai, and Chunxi Road in Chengdu. Jiefangbei is the fashion hub of this city, and what dazzles the most are the beautiful Chongqing women who frequent the cutting edge of fashion. This alone is enough to rank it among the top three destinations in Chongqing.

Yuzhong Panorama

In Yuzhong District, if you want to see the panorama and night view from the best perspective, two recreational options are recommended: 1) Chongqing World Financial Center WFC Observation Deck: During the day, you can see the full view of the two rivers and four banks, and at night, you can enjoy the three-dimensional night view of the mountain city. 2) Two Rivers Cruise: Take a cruise at night on the Yangtze River and Jialing River to see the scenery on both sides, as if swimming in the galaxy, with the reflection of stars, moon, and lights in the water, and the lights of thousands of homes shining together.

Zhou Mansion 'No. 50 Zengjiayan'

Zhou Mansion is the office location of the Southern Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in the urban area, famous for Zhou Enlai's work here. The internal layout of Zhou Mansion is complex and interesting, with key figures from both the Communist and Kuomintang parties having lived here. The interior is decorated with various items and furnishings as they were originally, vividly reflecting the scenes from more than half a century ago. The street where Zhou Mansion is located is known as 'the most beautiful street in Chongqing'—Zhongshan Fourth Road. The 800-meter-long street is shaded by Huangjue trees, with Western-style classical buildings and Chinese poetic elements lining both sides. It is also the location of the Chongqing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Chongqing Municipal Government, representing the past and present of Chongqing.
The Chongqing People's Auditorium is truly the official card of Chongqing City, an outstanding representative of Chongqing's positive image. To fully understand Chongqing, the People's Auditorium is a must-see. In addition to its grand architecture, the People's Auditorium showcases the resilient and unyielding character of Chongqing's people. The People's Square outside the auditorium is also remarkable at night, with the addition of the light and music fountain making it truly breathtaking. Next to the People's Auditorium is the famous Three Gorges Museum, which offers a scaled-down representation of the entire Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and its historical origins, making it well worth a visit.

Eling Second Factory

Layer upon layer, you arrive at the Eling Printing Second Factory. Once a printing factory for the Central Bank of the Republic of China, responsible for producing a series of printed materials such as grain coupons, meat coupons, and vouchers, it has transformed into an industrial heritage site and later evolved into a cultural and creative park. Since the movie 'Chongqing Hot Pot' filmed scenes on the factory's rooftop, more and more people have come to know this place full of artistic atmosphere. It combines old workshops with modern fashion elements, creating new sparks of art. Here, you can take a short break and enjoy a cup of afternoon tea. From the factory, you can also see the panoramic view of Chongqing's Caiyuanba and Nan'an districts, offering a 360-degree view of the mountain city of Chongqing.

No matter the season, whether it's spring, summer, autumn, or winter, as long as the sun sets and the lights come on, you can see the beautiful night view at Changjiahui on Nanbin Road. It will surely surprise you! Standing by the shore, you can see the sparkling waves and the bustling ships on the river, and hear the sound of whistles from the river.

Nanshan One Tree

The One Tree Viewing Platform is located halfway up Nanshan Mountain, offering a broad view. It faces Yuzhong District across the river and is a traditional spot for viewing Chongqing's night scenery. The advantage is that you can see the panoramic view, with the distant Yuzhong District looking like a beautiful treasure island. The main attraction is the distant and panoramic view. The downside is that it is not very convenient to get there without a car, and if the weather is bad, all you will see is fog.
