2025 Chongqing Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

Have you been to Wulong, the place chosen by over 90% of tourists visiting Chongqing? Known for its unique karst landscapes, Wulong is a "golden brand" of Chongqing tourism and an integral part of the South China Karst World Natural Heritage. [Key Attractions] 🌿 Three Natural Bridges - Tiankeng 🌿 🌟 Highlights: The world's largest and tallest cluster of natural stone arch bridges. This iconic landmark of Wulong has gained fame as a filming location for "Curse of the Golden Flower" and "Transformers: Age of Extinction." 🍀 Attraction Overview: Comprising three massive natural stone arch bridges—Tianlong Bridge, Qinglong Bridge, and Heilong Bridge—these bridges are separated by two sinkholes (Tianlong Sinkhole and Shenying Sinkhole), creating a breathtaking and majestic sight. The tour route descends from the top via an 80-meter-high sightseeing elevator to the bottom of the sinkhole. Visitors then walk along a plank road under the "bridges," gazing up at the towering stone arches and down at the deep valleys and serene pools, marveling at nature's craftsmanship. At the bottom of the sinkhole, the "Tianfu Official Post" from "Curse of the Golden Flower" remains preserved, adding a touch of cultural charm to this natural wonder. 🌈 Experience: Awe-inspiring, magnificent, and an easy walk (downhill all the way). 🌿 Fairy Mountain National Forest Park 🌿 🌟 Highlights: Known as the "Oriental Switzerland" and "Southern China's Premier Pasture," this high-altitude grassland (around 2,000 meters above sea level) contrasts sharply with the ruggedness of the Three Natural Bridges, offering a vast and gentle landscape. 🍀 Attraction Overview: Spanning 330,000 acres of forest and 100,000 acres of natural grassland, it is a perfect summer retreat with cool weather and a snowy wonderland in winter, ideal for skiing and snow activities. Visitors can explore the main attractions via a sightseeing train (highly recommended) or enjoy leisurely activities like walking, horseback riding, and kite flying on the grasslands. Notable spots include the Great Grassland, Horse Riding Field, and Pusa Tuo. 🌈 Experience: Relaxing, leisurely, and ideal for family trips and vacations. 🌿 Longshuixia Fissure Gorge 🌿 🌟 Highlights: Dubbed "the most beautiful scar on Earth," this gorge is a twin attraction to the Three Natural Bridges (Tiankeng) but offers a completely different experience. While Tiankeng showcases "bridges" and "sinkholes," the gorge highlights "fissures" and "water." 🍀 Attraction Overview: The gorge features steep cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and babbling streams. The tour route follows a plank road along the narrow fissure, where visitors can see only a sliver of sky above, surrounded by rushing waterfalls and deep pools. Key sights include the Milky Way Waterfall and Dragon's Cold Cave. The entire journey is accompanied by the sound of flowing water, fresh air, and a high concentration of negative ions. The experience emphasizes water interaction and adventure. 🌈 Experience: Serene, refreshing, and adventurous. The walking distance is slightly longer than the Three Natural Bridges but not strenuous.

Did you know that China has 56 ethnic groups, each with their own unique culture and clothing? Tourist attractions in China offer these ethnic costumes for rent and photo opportunities. Let's take a look at some of the most common ethnic groups. Please note that the costumes used in these photos are not exact replicas of the original costumes; they have been modified to look more attractive and photogenic. 1️⃣ Xiyu (Images 2-5 next to the cover) This style of clothing isn't exactly considered ethnic clothing, but rather influenced by cultural and religious exchanges during the Silk Road. Xiyu refers to the western part of China, including Xinjiang, which has a large Muslim population. Therefore, the costumes have a bit of an Aladdin feel. Ideal tourist destinations for this style of clothing include the Mingsha Desert and Crescent Lake in Dunhuang, Gansu. 2️⃣ Tibetans (Images 6-9) Indigenous to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Tibetans prefer to wear clothing made from felt and cashmere. Tibetan clothing is characterized by long sleeves, a wide waist, a long dress, and high boots. Often adorned with gold or jade jewelry, they are ideal for photographing trips to Sichuan Province, such as Jiuzhaigou, where Tibetan culture is particularly strong. 3️⃣ Uyghur (Images 10-12) They have a unique dress culture. Men typically wear "chapan" (coats) with belts, while women wear dresses covered with jackets or blouses. A popular photo spot is the old town of Xinjiang. 4️⃣ Mongolian (Images 7-8) They have lived on the grasslands for generations, so their clothing clearly reflects the atmosphere of the grassland lifestyle. Most are brightly colored, loose-fitting robes suitable for riding, and often feature red or green silk or satin belts. 5️⃣ Miao (Images 15-17) They have a diverse range of clothing styles and are often brightly colored. They are also renowned for their silverware, particularly the silver hair ornaments used to decorate their heads while wearing their traditional tribal costumes. A photo opportunity with the Hmong villages of Xijiang in Guizhou is truly breathtaking. #travelchina #travelplan #localguides

On my fifth night in Chongqing, I was completely amazed by this ATOUR S Hotel! When booking, I only knew it had a great location, but upon arrival—wow! The floor-to-ceiling windows revealed the shimmering waves of the Jialing River. At night, the breeze carried a delightful sense of relaxation through the air. The best part? The unbeatable location! Tested it myself—just a 5-minute stroll from the hotel elevator to Hongya Cave, with no need to climb hills or take detours. Perfect for travelers lugging suitcases! After enjoying Hongya Cave’s night views, grab a local Chongqing milk tea on your way back to the hotel. Sipping it while admiring the river—now that’s the kind of laid-back travel vibe we all crave! The room design also won me over—minimalist yet infused with subtle Chongqing-inspired details. The bedding was cloud-soft, ideal for washing away the day’s fatigue. In the morning, sunlight danced on the river’s surface, creating picture-perfect moments for your social media feed. Bonus: The riverside promenade is right downstairs. A morning walk lets you spot locals exercising and soak up Chongqing’s authentic charm—way better than squeezing through crowds! Complimentary perks? Yes! Free popcorn, chilled jelly dessert, and ice cream cones 🍦. The lobby doubles as a cozy library with books to borrow. Plus, there are multiple sofa seating areas where you can sip coffee while enjoying river views—pure bliss!

Folks, who else has developed an "I don't want to check out" obsession with a hotel? I'm talking about this ATOUR S Hotel in Chongqing - I seriously suspect they secretly put magnets in my luggage! I thought it was just an ordinary hotel, but the moment I stepped in, my jaw dropped—the lobby didn't feel like a lobby at all, more like a secret urban library where you could grab any book from the shelves and lounge on the sofa reading all afternoon. The aroma of coffee mixed with the scent of books made it even more inviting than my own living room. But the real showstopper was the room! The bed was so soft it felt like being hugged by clouds, and I had pillow options that gave me decision fatigue (ended up using two different ones). Even the shower gel scent was so perfect I almost wanted to pocket the bottle (don't follow my bad example). Oh, and their breakfast? Seriously impressive! The Chongqing noodles had just the right kick, and the wontons were so fresh they'd make your eyebrows dance. I ate there for two days without repeating a dish—felt like I checked off half of Chongqing's food bucket list just by staying here. Location-wise, it's unbeatable! Right downstairs is a food street where you can casually grab late-night barbecue or hotpot, and the hotel even has its own cozy bar for nightcaps. This setup was practically custom-made for lazy foodies like me! Now here's the real question: Can I negotiate with the hotel to move my workstation here? I bet my productivity would double in this environment (mostly because the slacking-off conditions are too perfect)! 📍ATOUR S Hotel Chongqing - take my word for it, this is THE place to stay when visiting Chongqing!

#chinatravel During the May Day holiday, Chongqing greeted us with rare clear skies☀️. As dusk fell over Ciqikou, the ancient town lit up with glowing lanterns and warm laughter, like time had slowed down just for this moment. Towering quietly in the distance, the ancient pagoda whispered tales of a bygone era. Wandering through the cobbled alleys, immersed in street food aromas and local chatter, you feel the perfect blend of festive cheer and old-town nostalgia. Ciqikou isn’t just a historic district—it’s the soul of Chongqing during holidays, alive with stories, flavors, and glowing lights. #travel #trip #china #staycation #thingstodo #myitinerary
