Chongqing is one of the most unique cities in China—a sprawling mountain metropolis wrapped in mist, divided by the mighty Yangtze and Jialing Rivers, and filled with futuristic skyscrapers, hidden alleyways, and spicy Sichuan hot pot. But does this viral city live up to the hype? We spent the day exploring some of Chongqing’s must-visit spots (and a few hidden gems) to find out!

What’s in This Video
✔︎ Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street – The heart of downtown Chongqing
✔︎ Liberation Monument – Once the tallest structure in the city
✔︎ Yangtze River Cable Car – An iconic ride with stunning views (but with a long wait time!)
✔︎ Longmenhao Old Street – A historic alley with antique shops, local food, and hidden museums
✔︎ Testbed 2 – A trendy cultural & art center filled with cafes, boutiques, and photo ops
✔︎ Liziba Station – The famous metro station where a train passes through a residential building
✔︎ Hongya Cave (Hongyadong) – Chongqing’s most famous attraction, glowing beautifully at night
✔︎ Shancheng Alley – A traditional street filled with vibrant lights, shops, and hot pot spots

✔︎ Instagram vs. Reality? – Not everything went as planned!

Planning a Trip to Chongqing?
Chongqing is often called the ‘Cyberpunk City of China’, and for good reason. From its multi-layered streets and neon-lit skyline to its steep stairways and unique transportation system, this city is a dream for travelers looking for a blend of history, modernity, and spice! But be prepared—it’s easy to get lost, and not everything is as picture-perfect as it seems on Instagram.
