【Strategy】Direct access by Subway Line 5! The secret garden of Dashi Dam is waiting for you to explore!

This niche park hidden in the bustling city! Small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, every step is a scene, making people linger. Recommendation: Shimen Park Address: Chongqing Shimen Park is located at No. 200, 7th Village, Dashi Dam, Jiangbei District, Chongqing Subway: Subway Line 5 【Dashi Dam Station】Exit 1B, about 5 minutes walk, you will arrive when you see Yanshan Hotel going downhill Bus: Get off at 821 (Dashi Dam Station) 【Play and Check-in Strategy】 1. The small slope here makes the play more enjoyable, you can walk along the path, stop and appreciate the surrounding scenery, or sit in the pavilion to enjoy the tranquility of the afternoon. 2. This park is very suitable for taking pictures! Enter from the side of Yanshan Hotel, and you can reach the pond all the way down. There are stone steps and roads here. If you take the stone steps, it feels like in the woods, very fresh and natural. 3. There are black swans, ducks, egrets, fat and thin koi and other wild animals in the pond, you can interact with them freely and take interesting photos. 4. At the same time, the ancient-style buildings by the pond are also very suitable for taking new Chinese-style or ancient-style photos! 5. As for the play method, remember to pay attention to safety at all times! Be especially careful when playing with water by the pond, especially on the stone bridge. 6. This park is one I currently think is a bit old, don't enter if you mind. I hope these scenic spot play guides can give you some references and make your play more comfortable!

FunGee Riverview Hotel Chongqing Hongyadong Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street

This trip to Chongqing was all about hunting for autumn colors in Banan, and finding a comfortable, value-for-money stay right next to the city's hotspots. If you love classic Chinese autumn vibes—the fiery red maple leaves against elegant traditional architecture, misty rain lingering on old stone paths—then Banan Red Leaf Scenic Area is an absolute must for your itinerary. The main attraction is the vibrant maple forest, especially enchanting in late October to November. Even on drizzly days, the moist air brings out the depth of color on the trees, the red leaves pop against the grey sky and old-style buildings. The best photo spots include close-ups of the leaves dripping with rain, panoramic views of the autumn woods, and mid-distance shots with temple rooftops peeking through branches. For those who like people in their frames, you’ll see plenty of locals and tourists winding through the lanes, umbrellas in hand, wrapped in scarves—very “Chinese autumn” atmosphere. Don’t forget to pack a raincoat or umbrella—the weather in Banan can shift quickly in fall, and the occasional shower only adds more beauty (and fewer crowds). Many paths around the red leaf scenic area are stone, so wear non-skid shoes. The area is quite large, and the best red leaves are usually found near historical temple complexes and along higher ridges, so expect to walk at least a couple of kilometers—budget about 2-3 hours. Note: some areas are closed off during heavy rain for safety, so check local news or hotel staff for advice. After a day soaking up nature, my stay at FunGee欢致江景酒店 (Hongya Cave Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street Branch) gave me exactly the recharge I needed. The hotel is right beside Hongya Cave, on the 21st floor of Gaosheng Chuangfu Center, Binjiang Road 113, with sweeping views over Jialing River—especially gorgeous at night with all the city lights sparkling along the banks. Getting around is a breeze: Jiefangbei is just minutes away on foot, and you’re right next to the entrance to Kuixing Tower (魁星樓) too. For anyone chasing social-media-worthy spots, it’s hard to beat this location—you’ll see all the top “Chongqing as seen on Douyin” places just by walking out the door. The room is smartly equipped: voice-controlled features, complimentary drinks, mini-fridge, free laundry and dryer, and even late breakfast until 1pm (the freshly made Chongqing noodles are a highlight). I loved the little treats: popcorn, ice cream, and the “goodnight porridge” before bed. Hygiene was spotless, and service staff couldn’t be more helpful. A few guests mentioned some minor issues with sound insulation and room spec transparency, but overall, it was super quiet for me. If you’re traveling as a couple or with family, the atmosphere is just cozy enough, with the city outside but peace inside. Tips for booking: Reserve early if you want a river-view room, and double-check which side your window faces—the night scene is the real selling point! If you’re sensitive to no
