Itinerary

1 Initiation

A Chongqing city walk is about observing, and wandering with curiosity — the real scenery is in the streets.

Start near Tongyuan gate and visit the oldest city gate in Chongqing. In ancient times, this was the dividing line between Chongqing and its surrounding areas, but now the city has expanded dozens of times.

2 Development

Head downhill through quiet roads like Huayi and Linhua, the most insane part of this tour, Blocks where 15-story apartments without elevators. the front door was on the 8th floor, connected to sky bridges that led to staircases clinging to hillsides.

But don’t worry about getting lost, we’ll show you all the hidden paths

This is the craziest neighborhood in Chongqing. Due to the complex terrain, the city is built on hills, so it is full of long overpasses, stairs, hidden paths everywhere, and the roads grow like branches.

3 Transition

The Chongqing Auditorium is a magnificent Chinese-style building. The square beside it is perhaps the largest flat area in the city center. This is a place where locals come to relax. You can freely watch the senior citizens dancing square dance and the children playing joyfully here.

4 Plan A Zhongshan 4th Road

Zhongshan Fourth Road once witnessed the most glorious historical period of Chongqing. During WW II, Chongqing served as the temporary capital of China, and many historical events took place on this street. However, today, it remains a beautiful tree-lined path.

We’ll end the journey on the riverside plank road. It’s always a great escape from the city’s noise. Walk here to enjoy the riverside views and the passing metro. Lush plants, coiled roots are everywhere, and abandoned air-raid shelters hide secrets.

4 Plan B Abandoned train station

Caiyuanba Railway Station, once a bustling transportation hub symbolizing Chongqing’s vibrant traffic status, now lies abandoned and being demolished.

We will take the 2nd longest escalator in the world to the adjacent wholesale market, which used to be filled with the hustle and bustle of merchants and customers, is now deserted. However, this desolation exudes an anti – utopian charm reminiscent of the millennium era.

As you stroll along this path towards the riverside, a breathtaking view unfolds before you. It’s as if the city reveals its hidden cross – section.
