Itinerary

Admission included50 min

A Chongqing city walk is about observing, and wandering with curiosity — the real scenery is in the streets. Start near Tongyuan gate and visit the oldest city gate in Chongqing. In ancient times, this was the dividing line between Chongqing and its surrounding areas, but now the city has expanded dozens of times.

Shawn was very personable...

Shawn was very personable and knowledgeable about the local areas outside the busy and touristy Jiefangbei! On the tour, we visited some off the beaten path neighborhoods and wandered through apartment complexes that seemed to stretch 10-15 stories below even though they looked liked they were at ground level from the entrance. This was classic Chongqing! We also stopped by a glutinous rice vendor who had recently gotten famous. The rice was delicious! Caution about walking difficulty: The tour (and walking around Chongqing) is physically demanding. There are lots of steps and staircases that may be strenuous for some.
