Chongqing travel notes
From Chengdu by high-speed train in about 1-2 hours.
概览
这座城市的气质
Chongqing is a dense mountain city built across rivers, bridges, hills, tunnels, and vertical neighborhoods. It is visually dramatic, food-focused, and more chaotic to navigate than Chengdu.
为什么去
最值得去的理由
The cityscape is unlike most Chinese cities, with steep streets, layered roads, monorails, and dramatic river views.
Chongqing hotpot and spicy street food are central to the experience.
It is a strong contrast to Chengdu and works well as a paired southwest China trip.
如何到达
抵达提示
- High-speed trains connect Chengdu and Chongqing frequently, usually arriving at Chongqing North, West, or Shapingba depending on the service.
- Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport has broad domestic connections.
- The metro is useful but the city's vertical geography means walking routes can involve stairs, slopes, and confusing exits.
