City in a Mountain

Chongqing, or the city in a mountain as it’s famously known, is a sight for sore eyes 😍 It’s filled with gorgeous views everywhere you look - from the bright lights of Hongyadong to the instantly recognizable Qiansimen bridge 🌉, there are no shortage of attractions in this city But be warned, there’s a reason for its nickname⛰ Chongqing is very mountainous and you will often find yourself walking up countless stairs when trying to get from one destination to another (and if you’re like me you’ll wind up at countless dead ends after your trek then have to reroute 🤦🏾‍♀️) Put on your walking shoes, make sure you pack water, and grab your camera to see all that Chongqing has to offer! #thisischina #urbanexplorer #chongqing #chongqingtravel #hongyadong #queenb_travels

✨Dazzling Nights at Hongya Cave: Chongqing’s Neon Wonderland🌃🛶 Hongya Cave lights up every evening, transforming into a mesmerizing riverside labyrinth that’s a feast for photographers, foodies, and night lovers. Imagine wandering ancient-style streets aglow with neon, overlooking the Jialing River’s sparkling reflections—perfect for soaking up Chongqing’s electrifying city spirit! 🗺️ Recommended Route: Enter from the upper Binjiang Road entrance; stroll down winding corridors packed with local snack stalls. Don’t miss heading towards the lower riverside platform for sweeping city and water views. Explore upwards through the terraced levels to see both the architectural details and peek inside quirky shops. 🔥 Must-Do Experiences: Taste spicy stinky tofu and skewers, browse for handmade souvenirs, and watch nighttime performances if you catch a pop-up show. Don’t forget to try Chongqing hotpot if you spot a riverside eatery—it’s an authentic city must! 📸 Top Insta-worthy Photo Spots: 1. Standing at the riverside entrance with neon-lit buildings behind you 2. Overlooking the illuminated cave layers from the public terrace—best after sunset 3. Lantern-lit stairways winding through the heart of Hongya Cave 🕒 Practical Tips & Precautions: - Aim for 7:30–9:30 pm for peak “lights in the night”—the colors are unreal! - Can get crowded; hold onto valuables and watch stairs (surprisingly narrow & slippery!) - Public bathrooms are available at Level 4 and Level 8—use them before it gets too busy - Metro Line 2 stops nearby; avoid driving due to traffic congestion #Chongqing #HongyaCave #NightLife #NeonCity #TravelTips
