Chongqing, the Mountain City, is a truly dynamic metropolis in Southwest China that's famous for its unique geography and rapid development. Built dramatically on steep hills at the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers, the cityscape is a marvel of multi-layered urban design.

Be captivated by stunning architectural features, such as the monorail that runs directly through residential buildings, a testament to the city's innovative planning. Immerse yourself in the city’s rich Bayu culture and history by exploring the charming, preserved alleyways and ancient centres. While you're there, you must sample the region’s most iconic culinary delight: the fiery and flavourful Chongqing hotpot, famed for its distinct spicy-numb sensation.

To admire remarkable visuals, visit the stilt building complex of Hongya Cave. It glows with dazzling colours after dark, providing a perfect photo opportunity. Be sure to take a ride on the Yangtze River Cableway for a breath-taking, aerial outlook of the city's towering skyline and the rivers below.
