Among the big cities in mainland China, Chongqing is undoubtedly the one I miss the most. I originally thought that this place was only "hot" and "spicy", but after visiting it in person, I found that Chongqing is incredibly interesting in terms of people, things, objects and scenery. What surprised me the most was the booming popularity of internet celebrities. Chongqing is full of internet celebrity attractions. According to local people, there are so many internet celebrities coming from all over the country to shoot Douyin videos in some areas that the government, in order to allow the internet celebrities to shoot as many Douyin videos as they want, simply closes the roads during specific periods, causing them to be unable to return home for a period of time during the holidays. Do you want to witness how Internet celebrities perform, or want to become one of them, or do you want to experience what it feels like to be "shoulder to shoulder" as the idiom goes? It's definitely a good choice to come to Hongyadong. If you want to know the story of Hongyadong, you have to start with the story of the "city gate". The history of building city gates in Chongqing can be traced back to the Warring States Period more than 2,000 years ago. Zhang Yi of the Qin State built Ba County after conquering the Ba State. The Shu Han built a city gate for the second time during the Three Kingdoms period. The Southern Song Dynasty built a city gate for the third time to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. The first two times were earthen cities, and it was not until the third time that Chongqing had a stone city wall. Hongya Cave is a natural cliff cave. Its waterfall landscape was once one of the twelve scenic spots in Bayu, named "Hongya Dicui". A city gate, Hongya Gate, was built at the location of Hongya Cave. In the 1940s, the prosperous water trade attracted a large number of residents to settle here, and many stilt houses were built on the hillside.[7] After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this place fell into decline, and many old houses became dilapidated before the folk style area was built. In August 1999, after discussion, the Yuzhong District Government of Chongqing and relevant departments decided to position the Hongyadong area as the "Chongqing Hongyadong Traditional Folk Style Area" and to build a commercial district in the form of traditional residential buildings on stilts. The Hongyadong Folk Customs Area was designated as one of Chongqing's eight "people-oriented projects" in 2005. It was invested and built by Chongqing Little Swan Group and officially opened on September 29, 2006. The folk customs area did not perform well in its initial stage of construction, with losses of millions of yuan almost every month in the early days of its opening. Since 2016, thanks to short video platforms such as Tik Tok, night scene videos of the Hongyadong Folk Customs Area have become popular on the Chinese mainland Internet, with netizens often describing the night scene as being similar to the Tangcheng in the famous Japanese animated film "Spirited Away". #Chongqing #Good place to check in #Hongyadong

This time I came to Chongqing, it was my first time to visit this mountain city full of three-dimensional sense and cultural charm. Before departure, I was full of expectations for the "magic 8D city", "spicy hot pot", and "Yangtze River night view", but after actually walking through it, I found that Chongqing's excitement is far more three-dimensional, more enthusiastic, and more flavorful than imagined. ⸻ 🚇 City transportation: 8D magic, amazing Chongqing is a city built on the mountain. The overall terrain is very undulating, and the transportation experience can be said to be very "fresh". The first time I took the Chongqing subway, I was stunned by the way it passed through the building and crossed the river. The most famous is the Liziba Light Rail Station. The scene of the light rail train passing through the building is really like a movie, and it is even more shocking to see it on the spot! The city's subway system is well developed, and almost all popular attractions can be reached. Although the terrain is complex and the exit is sometimes not intuitive, as long as you cooperate with the map and mobile phone navigation, it is actually not difficult to move. If your physical strength allows, walk more stairs and overpasses, you will find many unexpected beautiful scenery and corners. 🌉 Must-visit attractions: explore during the day, glow at night 1. Hongyadong During the day, it looks like an antique commercial street, but at night it's like suddenly entering the world of "Spirited Away". The entire building is built along the mountain, and it's so beautiful when the lights are on that it's an ideal place for taking pictures, shopping and eating snacks. But because it's so popular, there are really a lot of people. It's recommended to go early in the evening to take a good position to take pictures of the night view. 2. Jiefangbei Business District This is one of the most prosperous city centers in Chongqing, with high-rise buildings, shopping, dining, and fashion. From here, you can go all the way to the Bayi Road Food Street and feel the combination of urban pulse and food. 3. Yangtze River Cableway Highly recommended! This is one of Chongqing's classic transportation methods, and it's also a great way to experience the terrain of the mountain city and the scenery of the two rivers. Looking at the Yangtze River and Chongqing buildings from a high altitude is very shocking, and there is a movie-like atmosphere. It's actually very fast to take a ride once, but it will leave a deep impression. 4. Shibati This is an old street with a sense of history and a miniature of Chongqing's old life. It has been renovated in recent years, but it still retains the style of the old buildings. There are handmade shops, local canteens and cultural and creative spaces inside. It is a good place to experience local life and human touch.

💞Reasons for recommendation: 1. Golden Impression Foot Bath～～～～ Economical and you can stay overnight. The disadvantage is that you must call to confirm the crowd first, otherwise you have to wait for a long time. It is recommended to do the highest level (it is still very affordable compared to Taiwan). After entering, you will almost waste on the sofa chair. For food and drinks, just press the service bell🛎️, and there will be meals delivered to your door, and the cost is included in the original massage $$, no additional charge. 2. Hongya Cave～～Very beautiful, you can also walk around, pick your ears, change clothes and take pictures inside. 3. Chongqing Hot Pot～～I can't tell the difference, because I think they are all delicious, I will only choose "slightly spicy🥵"

As you approach Hongyadong at night, the sight takes your breath away—the entire complex, built into the cliffside, glows with golden lights, resembling a real-life Spirited Away fantasy. The traditional stilted wooden houses (吊脚楼) stacked 11 stories high create a dazzling reflection on the Jialing River, making it one of Chongqing’s most iconic views.#historicallandmarks #hongyadong

Attractions: Chongqing’s 3D cityscape offers unique sights like Hongya Cave (a Spirited Away-like nightscape), Liberation Monument (downtown hub), and Liziba Light Rail (train-through-building spectacle). Don’t miss Shancheng Trail for old Chongqing charm and Longmenhao·Xiahaoli for artsy riverside vibes. Food: Wuliguan Nine-grid Hotpot, Chongqing Bench noodles, Baoshifu meat floss cakes, Chayanyuese milk tea, Wang Yuming BBQ skewers and Yuanma red bean soup. Transport: Use the light rail (Lines 2 & 3 cover key spots) or taxis/DDs (avoid rush hours). Tips: - Avoid scams (fake tour guides near Liberation Monument). - Visit Hongya Cave at 7-9PM for best views. - Wear comfortable shoes - Chongqing is all about stairs and slopes. #travel #chongqing #china #travelchina #foodieparadise #3dcity

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 ### **🔥 Must-visit classic attractions** 1. **Hongyadong** - **Recommendation reason**: The night view can be called the "real version of Spirited Away", with the stacked stilt houses brightly lit, which is suitable for taking photos. - **Tips**: - Best shooting spots: Qiansimen Bridge or the Grand Theater on the opposite bank of the river. - Avoid holiday crowds, as there may be queues after 8pm. - The inner commercial street is more commercialized and you can just stroll around, but it is not recommended to spend money. 2. **Jiefangbei & Bayi Food Street** - **Recommendation reason**: Chongqing's landmark business district, where you can eat hot and sour noodles, mountain city rice balls, roasted brains and other snacks in one stop. - **Must-eats**: Hot and sour rice noodles, rose glutinous rice cake ice jelly, and a yogurt cow. 3. Yangtze River Cableway - **Recommendation reason**: Overlooking the confluence of the two rivers from the air, a unique mode of transportation in old Chongqing. - **Tips**: - Choose "South Station (Shangxinjie)" to get on the bus, there will be fewer people in line. - In the evening, you can enjoy both the sunset and the night view. ### **📸 Internet celebrity check-in spot** 1. **Liziba Light Rail Station** - **How ​​to Play**: Take photos of the spectacle of "light rail passing through a building". There are creative graffiti on the station observation deck, and the small yellow building nearby is suitable for street photography. 2. **Eling Second Factory** - **Recommendation reason**: The cultural and creative park was transformed from an old factory building with a retro industrial style. It is also the filming location of "Passing by Your World". - **Tips**: There is a fee for the rooftop, but the view is wide; the surrounding "Little Days Rooftop" coffee shops are very photogenic. 3. **Ciqikou Ancient Town** - **Evaluation**: It has a strong commercial atmosphere, but the fried dough twist (Chen Changyin) and hot pot base can be used as souvenirs. The main street is crowded, so it is recommended to go to the alleys to find an old teahouse. --- ### **⛰️ Nature and Humanities** 1. **Wulong Three Natural Bridges** - **Recommendation reasons**: World natural heritage, filming location of "Transformers", stunning karst landforms. - **Tips**: It is a 2-hour drive from the city center, so it is recommended to sign up for a one-day tour; wear comfortable shoes and walk down stairs throughout the trip.

#ChinaTravelMoment #2025OverseasTravelEvent #2024WishEvent #LiberationBiwalk #ChongqingLocalFruit #ChongqingSunset 📍Location: Chongqing LiberationBi Street 💰Free (Fruit is purchased separately) One-liner It was fun to walk around the streets, but the cherry-like fruit... didn't fit! Content LiberationBi Street is a downtown street full of street vendors, fashion shops, and snack shops. It was nice to walk around and look around, and when the sun sets, the lights come on and the atmosphere really improves. However, the plum fruit that looks like a red cherry sold on the street was too sour, so I personally didn't recommend it. It's worth a try, but I recommend checking the name of the fruit before buying it!

#ChinaTravelMoment 📍Location: Chongqing Jiefangbi Potato Chip Specialty Store 🍟 When you walk along Chongqing Jiefangbi Street, you will be drawn to the fragrant temptation! It is a small street stall selling potato chips in various flavors, and the addictive taste that makes you unable to stop your hand as soon as you take a bite! 🧂 From the basic salt flavor to spicy chili, mala flavor, kimchi flavor, and cheese flavor, it is a place full of fun to choose according to your taste. It is a homemade potato chip fried crispy without oil, so it is not burdensome, and it is a perfect combination as a beer snack! 🛍️ The packaging that is packed on site is neat, so it is recommended as a souvenir snack or gift! 🎒 When you are hungry while walking around, you can experience the moment when your trip to Chongqing becomes more delicious with a bag of these potato chips! ⸻ #Chongqing Liberation Monument #Potato Chip Restaurant #Snack Recommendation #Chinese Snacks #Chongqing Street Vendor Tour #Snack Heaven #Liberation Monument Restaurant #Chongqing Travel #Street Food #Potato Chip Addiction

Chongqing is a place that leaves you wanting more and more, and is worth savoring

Nice view and perfect view to see clearly for whole City .

#0yentravelFebruary2025 Although it is still not well known abroad, it is a city with hidden potential as a tourist destination. Prices are not high, and you can enjoy gourmet food and hotels at low prices. However, the satisfaction level is very high. Since there are few foreign tourists, the local people are not accustomed to English. However, they are polite and helpful. I highly recommend the flashy scenery and Chinese cuisine.

Chongqing accommodation recommendation: very close to Jiefangbei #Xunmeng Theme Hotel #Linjiangmen 💞Recommended reasons: The hotel is in a great location, with the subway station and Jiefangbei just downstairs The bed in the room is soft and comfortable. The best thing is that there is a beautiful night view to see The lady at the front desk is enthusiastic and willing to assist If you have any questions, we will give you suggested itinerary It makes people feel as warm as at home😊 📍Address: Floor 31, Block D, Times Mansion, No. 7, Qingnian Road, Yuzhong District, Chongqing

Waking up at the Meisu Tianqing Sky View Hotel is the right way to open Chongqing. What is it like to be woken up by the lights of the mountain city? In the early morning at Meisu Tianqing Hotel, one is always reluctant to draw the curtains. Instead, one makes a cup of hand-brewed coffee and sits in front of the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. Under one's feet is the famous People's Monument, and in the distance is the Yangtze River Cableway cutting through the morning mist. What's even more exciting is the secret garden on the 25th floor, the internationally award-winning dome restaurant, the self-service laundry room, and afternoon tea! The 180° floor-to-ceiling windows in the room frame the city view into a giant screen movie. The housekeeper will inform you of the travel route, and there is also laundry service~ I paid to upgrade to the King Bed Room with Shiguang Projection Bathtub, which is awesome~ When I went downstairs, I fell into the colorful lights of Bayi Food Street. Suddenly I understood what Chongqing people mean by "Ba Shi": It's not about lying down, but about finding the most comfortable place to stay in the boiling world✨#新年好去处2025 📍💞

#tripflytoprayfornewyear #travelinChina #countdown2025 🧩 Intending to countdown to celebrate the Happy New Year 2025 festival in Chongqing, it was a good idea. People here place a lot of importance on this celebration. The event starts at 6:00 p.m. on December 31, 2024 at Jiefangbei Financial Street, with the event centered around the Clock Tower/People's Liberation Monument, an important landmark that everyone has filled up. 🎈The highlight is that it is a memorable countdown that fits the PM 2.5 dust reduction campaign theme. There will be no fireworks, but balloons will be released instead... So cool... Everyone will be holding balloons all over the event and they will release them together at 00.01 a.m.! With the light and sound show on the shopping mall in this area 👏 It's fun and strange. We booked a room in Jiefangbei and chose a room that could see the atmosphere from the room. It's great. The atmosphere and view from above are not disappointing at all... It can be called "Time Square of China", no exaggeration!

Visiting Hong Ya Dong in Chongqing is an unforgettable experience. This vibrant area, steeped in over 2,300 years of history, transforms into a dazzling light show at night, reflecting beautifully off the Yangtze River17. The blend of traditional architecture and modern amenities creates a unique ambiance perfect for exploration. Food lovers will rejoice at the diverse offerings, from spicy hotpot to local dumplings, making it a gastronomic paradise36. Despite the crowds and complex layout, the charm of Hong Ya Dong is undeniable—it's a must-visit for anyone in Chongqing!

A Travel Post in Chongqing: Wonderful Time at Volin Jinglv Hotel Chongqing, a city full of magic and charm, always surprises me every time I step into it. And this time, the Volin Jinglv Hotel (Jiefangbei and Hongyadong Branch) where I stayed added a bright touch to my journey. The location of the hotel is absolutely excellent, making it extremely convenient for traveling. Whether you want to go to the bustling Jiefangbei to experience the prosperity of the city or take a stroll to Hongyadong to enjoy the dreamy Bayu style, it only takes a few minutes' walk. However, when you turn around and enter the back of the hotel, it seems like you've stepped into another quiet world. There is an elegant and peaceful tea room where I had the pleasure of tasting Xiuya tea from Yongchuan, Chongqing. Taking a sip gently, the fragrance of the tea spreads on the tip of the tongue. That freshness and sweetness instantly dispel the tiredness of the journey, making one feel relaxed and happy. I must mention the amiable front desk staff of the hotel. During my stay, no matter what problems I encountered, they always answered them patiently with a smiling face, making me feel as warm and at ease as if I were at home. What surprised me even more was the benefit of the hotel restaurant. It can be used once within the time period from 7:30 to 20:30. Entering the restaurant, I found that it was a small noodle shop full of Chongqing characteristics. When the bowl of authentic Chongqing noodles was served on the table, the aroma wafted over. The chewy noodles, paired with the spicy and rich seasonings, every bite was full of the enthusiasm and boldness of Chongqing, satisfying my appetite as a food lover and truly allowing me to experience the unique charm of Chongqing's food culture. During this time in Chongqing, the Volin Jinglv Hotel was like a caring companion, accompanying me through comfortable and pleasant days and nights. I think this is the meaning of accommodation during travel. It's not only a place to rest but also a carrier of wonderful memories. #Chongqing #ChongqingHotel #VolinJinglv #TravelExperience... #親子好去處#全球旅行

Such a Nice place and good weather

Chongqing Hongyadong, you must come if you have the chance! It's really beautiful

When I visited Hongyadong (Northwest Gate) in Chongqing, I was surprised by its fantastical scenery. From dusk to night, the entire building is lit up, creating an atmosphere as if I had wandered into the world of Hayao Miyazaki's film "Spirited Away". There are many spots to enjoy street stalls and local cuisine as you go up and down the stairs lined with wooden buildings. The spicy mala cuisine in particular was exquisite, and I was able to fully enjoy the local flavor. It was also a great place to take photos, and I was able to experience the unique culture that is unique to Chongqing. #0円旅秋

I visited the Liberation Monument in Chongqing, China, sweating in the hot summer. I had high expectations, so I wasn't as moved as I thought, but I still had a meaningful time. There are many shopping malls nearby, so they are crowded with people.
