Jialing River Jiangbei 🇨🇳 Chongqing
Strollers Paradise!!!
or it will be when it's fully completed.
On the Jiangbei district riverfront side of the Jialing River, there is a wonderful, walking, running and cycling path. The walkers path is the most complete and has the fewest dead ends. The promonade and walkways follow the river in both directions and change levels throughout so you have the opportunity to get right up close to the water.
If you head east you'll see hongyadong and the intercontinental ascott (Singapore building) and if you head west you'll find bars, cafe and get a chance at some cool snaps of Liziba station from across the river.
We've done both and I recommend heading west in the day time and east in the evening.

Chongqing captured the lonely tree from 'Attack on Titan'
Under the bridge by the river, a solitary tree, the embrace of nature and the city, the contrast of green and red, it's like the scene from the ending of 'Attack on Titan'.

These are the reasons why I love Chongqing~
The grandeur of a city nurtured by great rivers, and the everyday humanity revealed in its ordinary alleys. If you ask for a reason why I like Chongqing, this one is enough.
Sometimes I feel that Chongqing has shadows of many cities in China, perhaps just by crossing a bridge, you feel as if you've entered a completely different city. The natural geographical division of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers, as well as the sky-reaching and earth-penetrating light rail, various bridges, tunnels, and air-raid shelters, further accentuate this characteristic of 'multiple urban forms', bringing the changing scenes to a climax.
So you can say Chongqing is Hong Kong, it is Bangkok, it is Changsha, and even most cities in China.

Chongqing, the beautiful riverside night view
After coming out of Hongya Cave, board the cruise ship. The cool breeze is refreshing, and a few friends can sit together, chatting leisurely. The night view along the river is quite beautiful. The day's heat gradually fades away, and a moment of tranquility settles in! On the river, you can enjoy the Hongya Cave landscape more spectacularly, with bright lights, close at hand, it's truly stunning

6 things you must know before going to Chongqing
1⃣️The biggest city feature of Chongqing is its exaggerated terrain difference. Many buildings are built on the mountain, sometimes taking a taxi is not as fast as walking, and you need to bring a three-dimensional perspective when looking at the map.
2⃣️The best travel time in Chongqing is from May to July each year. At this time, it is just the beginning of summer. The weather in Chongqing, known as the stove, is not particularly hot, about 20 degrees, mostly sunny days🌞
3⃣️The most well-known scenic spot in Chongqing is Hongyadong. The main landscape of Hongyadong is more than ten layers of stilted buildings. Next to it is the Jialing River Bridge. At 7 o'clock in the evening, the entire building will light up, no tickets are needed. The best photo spot is on the side of Jialingjiang Road on the first floor, and of course, the view from the bridge is also particularly spectacular.
4⃣️In addition to Hongyadong, Chongqing also has these must-see attractions: Liziba's through-building subway, Crown's hundred-story escalator, Jiefangbei pedestrian street, and Bai Xiangju.
5⃣️For the first time in Chongqing, you can plan a three-day and two-night itinerary. Chongqing is not suitable for special forces travel. Avoid staying in Hongyadong and Jiefangbei business district. The price is particularly expensive. Chongqing's public transportation is relatively convenient. Guanyinqiao and Hongqi River Gully are good.
6⃣️How can you not eat hot pot when you come to Chongqing? Recommend Deng Mangzi Hot Pot in Yuzhong District and Panda Hot Pot in Pipa Mountain, and Bald Qiang Hot Pot in Shapingba. If you can't eat spicy food, remember to tell the boss in advance about the mandarin duck pot🍜
