Exit 2 of Shangxin Street Train Station and walk for five minutes to Xiahaoli, all downhill. Many old consulate sites are preserved here, and the Dongshuimen Yangtze River Bridge and the Huguang Guild Hall on the opposite bank are in full view. There are many beautiful and small cafes here. If you have time, you may want to sit down and have a drink to rest and feel the relaxing atmosphere. #travel #china #chongqing

If we say, Qianxiangmen Bridge🌉 is the "companion" bridge of Hongyadong. Then, Dongshuimen Bridge🌉 can also be the "companion" of Longmen Hao Old Street‼ ️ 👉🏻In Chongqing, if you don’t want to queue at the Qianxiangmen Bridge, it will be difficult to walk. I don’t want to be crowded in Hongya Cave either. Then, you can choose to come to Longmenhao Old Street, which has beautiful scenery and few people. 🎦 🔹Longmenhao Old Street·Xiahaoli was formerly known as Xiahao, a century-old street. Walking into the old street is like talking to time. There are stories in the gray walls and rubble📖. If you like to take pictures, like few people, and feel the original style of the old mountain city⛰️🏠, I suggest you come to Xiahaoli for a walk. Make an appointment with a few friends on the weekend and go to Longmenhao Old Street to find a corner to bask in the sun🌞. It can definitely make your whole body warm from the sun. 🏠Longmen Hao Old Street has a long history, dating back thousands of years. The entire old street is composed of more than 200 buildings from different periods built on the mountain⛰️. It was once famous as the residence for the attaché of the United States Embassy. In addition to the U.S. Embassy, ​​it was also the site of the Italian Embassy and the Belgian Embassy. 🌇The entire old street is across the river from Raffles City. Echoing the Sheraton Hotel. The ropeway slides slowly aside. The Dongshuimen Bridge, an ultra-modern design spanning the Yangtze River, silently guards Longmenhao Old Street. ⚠️Taking photos📸Camera ~ Key points: △Houzhen Mansion: The tranquility of Wangjiang’s small foreign-style building △Yangtze River Cableway: Photo taken with the Yangtze River Cableway and the Twin Towers on the Yangtze River △After going down the mountain: Internet celebrity check-in point at the hotel entrance, hotel courtyard △Chuandong Road: near Chuandong Road △Outside the city: Longmen Haoyue took a photo with the Yangtze River Cableway △Belgian Restaurant: Internet celebrity orange ball and building wall △Selfie Photo Studio: Red, black, and white cool colors are easy to produce. △Xiahaoli internet celebrity check-in point: go down the stone staircase next to the Xiahaoli Immigration Bureau and overlook the best location in Xiahaoli △"This is very Chongqing" wall🧱: The red house in Building 1, Xiahaoli ————————— Tips: Just walk, shop and take pictures at the same time. Every corner will be interesting. 📍Attractions: Longmenhao Old Street·Xiahaoli 🔍Address: No. 3 Mishi Street, Xiahao Community, Nan'an District, Chongqing 🚇Transportation: Take Exit 1 of "Shangxinjie Station" of Metro Line 6. After exiting, walk forward for ten meters and turn right. 🎫Ticket: Free🈚️ 🔺Other tips: Nearby things to do: Along the way, you can go to the Kaibu Heritage Park, the Yangtze River Cableway, and La La Land (there are even more movies here when you check in at night). You can also walk across the river and along the Dongshuimen Bridge for 15 minutes to the Yuzhong District Lake.

I was really moved by the beauty of Nanbin Road, a grass path leading to the riverside! The view from the Eye of the Yangtze River is very open with a panoramic view of the river, the confluence of two rivers, Raffles City, Dongshuimen Bridge 🌉, cruise ships 🛳️, and the sunset 🌇. I went there with my sisters to take photos 📷, and it instantly blew up my social media! The night view is also absolutely beautiful. How can you miss this check-in spot when traveling to Chongqing❓❗️ It's very large inside, over ten thousand square meters, and very beautiful 🤩 with hot pot 🍲, barbecue 🍖, afternoon tea 🍵, and dining bars. The viewing platform inside is also very beautiful with a flying yellow Ferrari, a Chongqing specialty. It's perfect for taking photos, and it's great for gatherings with friends to enjoy authentic Chongqing hot pot. The atmosphere is amazing❗️❗️

If you want to experience the authentic mountain city trails and the characteristics of the old mountain city, I suggest you go directly to Longmenhao and Xiahao. Compared with Hongyadong, the two places have a more old Chongqing flavor, and the two attractions are adjacent, so you can visit them together. 🚇Transportation: Subway Line 6, Exit 2 Walk for about 5 minutes to reach Longmenhao Old Street. Go down the slope all the way, and finally find the elevator to return to the top floor. Cross the road and you will reach Xiahao. Go down the slope all the way and take your time! 🗺️Itinerary (Longmenhao➡️Xiahao➡️Clock Tower Square) 1. It is recommended to start playing at 5 pm. Go to Longmenhao first. When the sun is about to set, face the Dongshuimen Bridge and take a picture of the sunset! 2. Go to Xiahao when it's almost dark. At night, the shops are lit up and the photos are even more beautiful! You can see tea houses, bookstores, and coffee shops along the way, which are very characteristic. 3. When you come out of Xiahao, you will reach Nanbin Road. At this time, the Dongshuimen Bridge and Lai Fu Shi are lit up. You can walk along Nanbin Road towards Clock Tower Square (about 1.6 kilometers). Along the way, you can enjoy the beautiful night view of the river. At the opposite side of Clock Tower Square, cross the road and go down to the river bank. This is the shooting location in Figure 9. You can also sit here and chat with the river breeze. We sat here until Lai Fo Temple was closed before leaving. It was very pleasant~ ⚠️The night lights will be turned off at 11 pm. Please pay attention to the time. Finally, I wish you all a happy time!

Chongqing is a mountain city, very mountainous, so there are many + important bridges. Construction of the Dongshuimen Yangtze River Bridge started in 2009 and opened to traffic in 2014. It was designed by a famous designer. This bridge connects Yuzhong District and South Bank. Unfortunately, it was the day to go, the night should be even more beautiful. #OverseasTravel #Chongqing #Mainland #Bridge

#discoverchina #china #travel #chongqing Day 1: Arrived Chongqing from Kuala Lumpur on 26 Feb 2025 We stayed at Lavande Hotel Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport. This hotel offers free airport pickup even after midnight. We called the hotel using trip.com app using internet call as we don’t have a China mobile number. The hotel is about 20minutes away. We chose this hotel as it is near the airport. We had a good sleep and had breakfast at the hotel before taking the Didi to Jiefangbei. Day 2: Check-in to Bindun Langyi Hotel, Jiefangbei We chose this hotel for its good location. It is next to Linjiangmen Metro exit A2 Line 2. The hotel is on the 6th floor and it’s very clean and spacious. It comes with daily breakfast and it has a very good spread of yummy dishes. And they offer coffee which is quite rare in China. Next to the hotel building is a huge food court offering yummy Chongqing noodles, dumplings, rice etc. There are many restaurants here which you can explore here or walk to Bayi street nearby. It is a vibrant and lively area. We found a friendly local guide who took us to Chaotianmen travel agency. We booked the night cruise along Yangtze River (140 yuan/pax). This night cruise is very popular and is a must try if you’re in Chongqing as the night scenery of the city is just amazing. We also booked 3 local day tours to Wulong Mountain, Huguang Guild and a city tour. From Chaotianmen, you can walk up to the Red Bridge (Qiansimen) for a lovely view of the Yangtze River. Towards the end of the bridge, you can explore Xiaohaoli Old Street. At night, we had a lovely cruise along the Yangtze River to capture all the lights around the city. Raffles City and Hongya Cave looked absolutely stunning. It was really worth it. Day 3: We walked to the People’s Liberation Monument which is 5-10 minutes away and Kuixinglou which is 20 minutes away. This building is a must visit. We entered on what we thought was the ground floor but we were actually on 22nd floor. After lunch, we took the Metro to Xiaoshizi to watch a performance at Huguang Guild. We were treated to tea while watching ancient dance during the emperor days, face changing performance and Chinese opera. We enjoyed the ancient theatre with unique architecture depicting the Qing Dynasty days. The performance was entertaining and rich in Chinese culture. There is also a museum here on its history of the early days. At night, we decided to try Chongqing hot pot opposite Hongya Cave. We took the mix of non-spicy and less spicy soup. It was still too spicy for us hahaha. It was a good experience and we enjoyed it. We decided to walk on the Red Bridge again to capture the beauty of Hongya Cave close-up at night. It was worth squeezing through the crowd despite being a non-peak period. Day 4: Local tour to Wulong Mountain (UNESCO site of Three Natural Bridges, Tiankeng Village & Wujiang Gallery). This tour is a must have. The place is breathtaking and you won’t regret it.

[RoundNails] Amid the bustling Yuzhong District, there is actually a complex of ancient buildings hidden away! Yellow walls, green tiles, and an ancient stage. This ancient building from the Qing Dynasty is well preserved and worth a visit. The ancient stage is also very well preserved and there are performances regularly. 🚗Transportation: Take Line 6, exit at Exit 7, turn left and walk to the Dongshuimen Bridge. There is an elevator at the bridge head. Take the elevator under the bridge and you will arrive. 📸Best check-in spot: Take the elevator to Dongshuimen Bridge and walk a few steps to the center of the bridge to reach the best viewing point.

Standing on the Dongshuimen Yangtze River Bridge in Chongqing, overlooking the magnificent scenery of the Yangtze River, you can feel its grandeur and magnificence. Dongshuimen Yangtze River Bridge is located between Yuzhong District and Nan'an District of Chongqing City. It is a suspension bridge connecting the two banks. It was completed and opened to traffic in 2014. It is 1,124.947 meters long and has a main span of 520 meters. It is one of the world's largest dual-use road-rail suspension bridges. The bridge has a unique design, adopting the "Tissot" shape, which symbolizes the rise and development of Chongqing. The bridge body is composed of alternating white and gray steel beams, which looks simple and elegant yet stylish. Standing on the bridge, you can see the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River, such as the tall buildings of Yuzhong Peninsula and the lush green peaks of Nanshan. On the river, ships shuttle back and forth, creating a busy scene. At night, the bridge is lit up with colorful lights, which is breathtakingly beautiful. It is not only a transportation hub in Chongqing, but also one of Chongqing's landmark buildings, attracting many tourists to visit and check in. On the Dongshuimen Yangtze River Bridge, I felt the prosperity and vitality of Chongqing, and also felt the greatness of human engineering. It is a business card of Chongqing and the pride of the people of Chongqing.

|It is recommended to spend 1 hour to appreciate this century-old building. Chongqing Yuzhong District not only has Hongyadong, but also the Huguang Guild Hall on the other side. The antique buildings contrast sharply with the modern buildings. Rather than going inside the Huguang Guild Hall, I recommend admiring the exterior from this location. Not only can you see the whole picture of Huguang Guild Hall, but you can also capture it in the same frame with the Yangtze River Cableway and Baixiangju. The more than 300-year-old Huguang Guild Hall is intertwined with modern architecture, creating wonderful sparks. This feeling of blending the past and the present is amazing. Take the elevator from the exit of Huguang Guild Hall to Dongshuimen Bridge, and you will find this excellent viewing point near the elevator.

📍 The Huguang Guild Hall is located on the side of the Yangtze River Bridge at Dongshuimen in Yuzhong District, Chongqing. There is an elevator at the bridgehead that leads directly to the entrance and exit of the Huguang Guild Hall below the bridge. 🌟 The Huguang Guild Hall was first built in the 24th year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1759). It includes several ancient architectural complexes, such as the Yuwang Palace, Qi'an Guild Hall, and Guangdong Guild Hall. ✅ The Huguang Guild Hall became an important symbol of Chongqing as a prosperous port during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is also an important marker of immigrant culture, commercial culture, and architectural culture. Huguang Guild Hall

Speaking of Longmenhao Old Street, it is backed by Nanshan and faces the Yangtze River. When visiting the old street and viewing the river scenery, one can see not only the towering buildings in Jiangbei but also the spectacular Dongshuimen Yangtze River Bridge. The Dongshuimen Bridge connects Dongshuimen of Yuzhong Peninsula with Tianmen on the south bank of the Yangtze River. The bridge serves both road and rail traffic, with the upper level accommodating a pedestrian walkway and a two-way four-lane roadway, while the lower level carries a two-way rail line. The rail transit Line 6 passes through here, and we even went to take a closer look and took photos. The Dongshuimen Bridge is a steel truss girder cable-stayed bridge with a main span of 520 meters, a bridge width of 21 meters, and a total length of 1000 meters. It was opened to traffic on March 31, 2014. There are sightseeing stairs at both ends of the Dongshuimen Bridge. The No. 2 entrance and exit of Longmenhao Old Street's Xiaohao Li is right at the head of the Dongshuimen Bridge. Just a few days ago, we took an overhead panoramic photo of the Huguang Guild Hall at the north end of the Dongshuimen Yangtze River Bridge!

There is almost no flat land There are always endless slopes to climb⛰️ Road traffic🚠up to the sky and into the ground Can't tell which floor of the building🏢I am on Hot pot🍲so spicy that I doubt my life … These rough impressions were what I thought Chongqing was like, many of which came from fragmented information on the Internet and a few words from others, but is that all? Only after you have been there can you truly appreciate it. What I am used to is to turn off the navigation, hold the map in my hand 🗺️, use my feet 👣 to find the way, and capture close-up scenes with my eyes. I saw that the years have left a deep historical imprint on the bluestone road; the ancient city wall can vaguely see the style and majesty of the past; immigrants wrote the story of revival three hundred years ago in the amber yellow Chinese-style buildings 🎞️; the streets and alleys still have the figures of the "Bang Bang Army" who carry the world on their shoulders... Chongqing has too many mysteries worth exploring. Recommended attractions: ✔️Baixiang Street The most prosperous area in Chongqing during its opening period. The shop signs, windows, post offices, etc. are full of the style of the Republic of China, and every building exudes the breath of history. ✔️Huguang Guild Hall The building is built along the river and on the slope. The mountainous terrain gives the guild hall a spatial beauty that is difficult to create in a flat building complex. The decoration of the details such as the roof ridge and beams is even more exquisite. ✔️Dongshuimen Yangtze River Bridge Standing on the bridge🌁, you can see the bustling CBD🏙️ in the distance, traditional historical buildings🏯 nearby, and the "time-space shuttle" suspended in the air in the middle. It's like entering a wonderful world where time and space intersect. ✔️Hongya Cave Built on the edge of a 75-meter-high cliff, at night, the pavilions and towers are painted with golden and magnificent lights, as if it is a street market in the sky. ✔️Chongqing Shibati Traditional Style Area The old buildings with a strong symbol of the times are distributed in terraces. Going up along the stone steps, it seems like reading a history of Chongqing's Bayu local history, the history of the opening of the port, and the history of urban development. ✔️Jiefangbei Jiefangbei is to Chongqing what Tiananmen Square is to Beijing. The monument is made of stone, milky white in color, octagonal in shape, with several bells on the top. The area around the Liberation Monument is very prosperous. ✔️Bayi Road Food Street It gathers many Chongqing-style delicacies, including hot pot, noodles, soup noodles, spicy skewers, mountain city small glutinous rice balls, wonton, bangbang chicken, etc. ✔️Shanchengxiang Historical and Cultural Area Walk along this bluestone road built on the mountain⛰️ and along the cliff. Going up, the main street is on the left side of the cliff, overlooking the city and the Yangtze River🌊; on the right side, there are several small streets and lanes, distinctive residential buildings🏠, and deep air-raid shelters... ✔️Tongyuanmen Ancient City Wall Among the nine gates in Chongqing, it is the only ancient city gate that is not close to the river but only to the land. It is built of stone slabs, with double-layer arched doorways, and the city wall is built following the terrain of the mountain. ✔️Zaozigangya Trail in Time This slope decorates the mountain city in "time". The grooves on the wall record the image of old Chongqing; the reliefs of PHS and MP3 illustrate the changes in life over the past few decades; the spliced ​​stairs are painted with Chongqing's characteristic city cards such as the Yangtze River Cableway 🚠.

I've really been loving Longmen Hao recently~ So many hidden gem shops. Zui Jiang Yue, a new Chinese-style Republic of China style~ Just listening to the name is very romantic🌹 A little drunk~ Watching the river and the moon! Sitting by the window You can see the Dongshuimen Bridge when you look up~ The opposite Raffles City, and the most beautiful river night view🌃 🌹Kung Pao Rose Shrimp Balls This is really a dish with a high appearance! The fresh and plump shrimp meat has a hint of rose aroma~ 🥔Pot Organic Potato Slices A dish that is absolutely powerful for eating rice The soft and waxy potato slices are super flavorful~ Sitting by the river at night🎑, watching the most beautiful night view The atmosphere is full in minutes! It's too suitable for dates and so on

The Chongqing Two Rivers Bridge is a combination of the 'Chongqing Dongshuimen Yangtze River Bridge' and the 'Chongqing Qiansimen Jialing River Bridge'! It is reported that among the bridges with the 'highway + rail' mode, the spans of these two bridges are the world's first, and this kind of 'twin bridge' construction method is unique in the world! Different from other cross-river cable-stayed bridges in our city, the bridge towers of the 'Two Rivers Bridge' are streamlined and very soft!
