Itinerary
Explore the famous 22th floor square, and nearby local areas.
The famous train enters an apartment and a hidden cafe nearby with fewer people
Take a break at E’ling Park, one of Chongqing’s most peaceful hilltop escapes. From its viewing tower, you can see the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers winding through the city’s layered skyline. Paths lined with bamboo and pavilions offer a quiet contrast to downtown’s chaos—a perfect spot to breathe, sip tea, and watch the mountain city unfold beneath you.
Built in 1996, the Crown Escalator is 112 meters long with a vertical rise of about 52 meters. Slowly moving through the enclosed passage, it reveals Chongqing not at once, but layer by layer.
Glide past the Sujiaba Overpass, a masterpiece of Chongqing’s layered engineering. With roads weaving above and below like ribbons in the air, it’s a true showcase of the city’s “mountain maze” design. Standing here, you can watch cars flow through multiple levels at once—a surreal sight that feels more like a sci-fi movie than everyday traffic.
A redeveloped old residential area turned into a trendy neighborhood with lots of independent creative shops.
Diamond Plaza for Hongya cave nightview No trip to Chongqing is complete without a stop at Hongya Cave. At night, the wooden stilt houses light up like a glowing fairytale castle on the riverside. It’s the most photographed landmark in the city, perfect for your postcard-worthy shots.

Very knowledgeable. Very friendly. Tour went smoothly. Guide was on time. I would like to have my guide again.
The one-day tour was a pleasant one, not too rushed, and everything was conducted at a pace that suited us. We had a great time with Charles, and we especially appreciated that he took some photos for us with his camera, which we found to be very thoughtful. Charles was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the journey. He shared interesting insights about the places we visited while ensuring that we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Thanks to his guidance, we were able to discover Chongqing in a relaxed and enjoyable way. Thank you, Charles, for making our trip such a memorable experience. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Chongqing!
Highly recommend this tour as an intro to Chongqing. Communication was excellent from the moment I booked. My guide Sophie knew the city so well and took me through a maze and down paths that I never would have found on my own and to many great viewpoints and cute neighborhoods. She also knew a great local noodle spot for lunch where we stopped. Her knowledge about the city’s history was wonderful to learn from as well as we walked around and took the metro. This was my first time trying a private tour and was a great experience, I plan to try in other cities in the future now.
The Chongqing Cyber City in 1-day was with every penny. I could not have asked for a better tour guide than Sophie! She met me at the meeting point (Linjiangmen Station) at the 11:00 am meeting time and the adventure began. We first stopped at the Liberation monument before going over to try some spicy ice cream on the famous food street in Chongqing. We then headed for all the major stops on the tour (which were terrific) and one of the highlights of the tour was some of the tea/coffee/food stops that she recommended. We sampled some of the local Chongqing teas at the top of the Hongya Cave area and then had plenty of Chongqing Street food for lunch. After lunch we headed out to visit more of the major attractions in Chongqing before ending the day at one of the best coffee shops I've ever been too. Sophie was very, very knowledgeable of all the major landmarks in Chongqing and was just a terrific person to talk to for 7-8 hours. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to learn more about Chongqing and I hope they have Sophie as their tour guide for the day!
We had a multigenerational group of 5 and needed a guide who could work for everyone. Suvon delivered for each of us. She knew every shortcut, every hidden spot, and exactly how to dodge the tourist crowds without missing anything worth seeing. She helped us take a ton of great photos and videos along the way. The daytime sights were fantastic, and the way she timed our evening to catch the city lights was perfectly done. She also guided us to the best local food! Her English is perfect, her communication is excellent, and she kept everyone genuinely engaged the whole time. She knows a lot of American pop culture and our group connected with her immediately. Guoer matched us with exactly the right person. The booking process was smooth, and having a trusted guide waiting for us made the whole trip stress-free. Suvon is our favorite guide, and you should definitely request her. We’re already planning our next visit and she’s the first thing we’re booking!
The tour was very nice. You indeed come to places you would otherwise never found. Best way to get lost in Chongqing without actually getting lost! 100% would recommend!!
Our guide Nick did an excellent job and provided us with an unforgettable, wonderful day in Chongqing.
