Anonymous user:“The ticket purchase and issuance was very quick, and the customer service lady was also very patient in explaining. The cruise is still worth taking, the night view is very beautiful, it is recommended to go straight to the third and fourth floors of the cruise ship, you can go out of the fence to blow the river breeze, and there are face-changing and dance performances”

Anonymous user:“It is worth a visit. There are many check-in points and there are performances inside. We did not watch it because we watched it in other places. The transportation is also very convenient. It is recommended to use Didi to take a taxi. The taxi driver is not friendly and will lie to you that it is not fun and will not be received. If you go there, you will find that it is a normal visit. I don’t understand what is going on.”
Opening hours: 09:00-23:00(Tickets available until 22:30)

Lily Wong:“I've been to the Chongqing Zoo many times and every time I discover something new. There are so many giant pandas. I love them so much. I even saw a giant panda with a baby when I went there recently. They were so cute. The location is also very convenient. The subway and car are both good.”
Anonymous user:“I'd heard that among Chongqing's several high-rise observation decks, WFC offers the best views and the most comfortable overall experience, and it's true! Overlooking Jiefangbei, the Great Hall of the People, the Grand Theater, the Yuanyang Hot Pot, the Seventeen Bridges, the airport, the Golden Eagle, and the patchwork of urban buildings... Under the vast sky, the grandeur of Chongqing is tangibly realized.”

M19***14:“The bombing prevented residents of Nan'an and other areas from escaping in time, and they took refuge in tunnels where they were severely bombed, resulting in heavy casualties. The photos displayed in the exhibition area are very shocking and infuriating!”
Gloria Beretervide:“Totally worth it. Cheap, a bit short but those 15 minutes are just beautiful You get to see the junction of both rivers, the green Jialing and the brown Yangtze”

_TI***d9:“Definitely recommend doing this. Was so much fun. I’m from the UK and need to stress that THE ENTRANCE IS ON 1F of raffles city mall and was hard to find as a tourist, so go early to make sure you find it! There is no specific time for your tickets, but would recommend going up at sundown so you get views of the city in the day and in the night. Handy info for tourists: the glass bottom area is free (currently as of August 2025), the lockers are free for bags and wallets etc but are small so don’t bring much with you, there are big lockers but the system is in Chinese so be prepared to translate it all. The skywalk is a separate price from just going up to the observation deck and is worth paying for as there’s not much price difference. You can take a phone out and up with you so you can take photos. You can get the iconic sitting down shot halfway down the platform don’t crowd the turning as people often do this, and if you go further down you will have more time for photos! Enjoy”
