Itinerary
Marvel at the famous Liziba Monorail Viewpoint, where a train thrillingly passes through a residential building, offering an iconic glimpse into Chongqing’s surreal urban design. Not only will you witness this architectural wonder — you’ll also get to ride the monorail yourself, experiencing the adrenaline rush of gliding right through the heart of a high-rise.
Tucked away in a quiet corner of Yuzhong District, Kuixing Tower is a hidden gem where locals once prayed for academic success. Enjoy sweeping views of the Jialing River and soak in the tranquil charm of old Chongqing. Don’t be surprised if you lose your sense of direction — are you on the ground floor or the 22nd? This is where you'll truly feel why Chongqing is known as China’s ‘8D Magic City.’
Experience Chongqing’s iconic Yangtze River Cableway - known locally as the city’s “air bus.” Glide high above the water, connecting the city’s two riverbanks, and take in sweeping views of the skyline, mountain terrain, and the mighty Yangtze from a truly unique perspective.
Stroll at Ciqikou Ancient Town, a vibrant heritage site brimming with centuries-old architecture, bustling shops, and local flavors. Wander its picturesque streets and soak in its rich history as a vital port town.
A 1,000-year-old sanctuary tucked between modern malls and busy streets. Step through its red gates to find quiet courtyards, incense-filled halls, and ancient statues that reveal the city’s spiritual heritage.
Step into the past at Longmenhao Old Street, where restored buildings, century-old trees, and exquisite local Teahouse whisper stories of Chongqing’s riverfront history. Here, time seems to slow down as you wander through indie bookstores, hidden cafes, and artist studios. It’s the perfect place to feel Chongqing’s soulful, lived-in charm.

I had a fantastic day exploring Chongqing with our guide Diego! Luohan Temple was peaceful and full of character, offering a nice contrast to the busy city. Kuixinglou was another highlight - the views were amazing and it really showed Chongqing's unique mountain-city layout. Taking the Yangtze River Cableway was so much fun and gave us a great perspective of the city from above. Diego was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole day smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend this Chongqing day tour!
