6 Days 5 Nights Deep Tour in Chongqing, Experience a Cyberpunk Movie Vibe for Only 2980 RMB per Person!

**Title: 6 Days 5 Nights Deep Tour in Chongqing, Experience a “Cyberpunk” Movie Vibe for Only 2980 RMB per Person! Local Secret Routes, All-Inclusive Food, Accommodation, and Transportation, Save Money and Enjoy Luxury!** Think Chongqing is expensive? Hongyadong homestays cost over 800 RMB per night, hotpot averages 150 RMB per person, and taxis feel like burning money? That’s because you haven’t found the right way! Today, with **2980 RMB**, I’ll take you to fully explore the real Chongqing! In 6 days and 5 nights, we check in at Wulong Tiankeng, Dazu Rock Carvings, Ciqikou, Liziba, Nanshan Yikeshu, and the Yangtze River Cableway. Stay in riverside homestays, eat authentic old hotpot in alleys, ride the light rail through buildings, tour the two rivers at night, and shoot a “Cyber Mountain City” themed travel photo set—**the key is, no rushing, no pitfalls, no pretending to be poor!** Can you believe it? I even saved over 200 RMB on round-trip transport to Wulong and stayed in a riverside room just 3 minutes’ walk from Jiefangbei!--- **Day 1: Arrival in Chongqing → Jiefangbei → Hongyadong Night View → Stay at Yuzhong Riverside Homestay (Cost: 580 RMB)** **Afternoon: Fly to Chongqing from various places → Jiangbei Airport** Book tickets 2 weeks in advance; I flew from Guangzhou (680 RMB including tax). Take the **Rail Transit Line 10 transfer to Line 6 to Xiaoshizi** (8 RMB), then walk 5 minutes to the homestay. **Stay at “Shancheng·Guange Riverside Homestay”** (368 RMB/night). The room faces Hongyadong directly, with floor-to-ceiling windows for night views without the crowd! The owner also gave hotpot coupons + a light rail through-building check-in map! **Evening: Hongyadong 11th Floor → Qiansimen Bridge** Lights turn on at 7:30 PM. Go down from the homestay to Hongyadong 1st floor, take the elevator to the 11th-floor platform for panoramic shots! Then walk to Qiansimen Bridge to capture the “Spirited Away” style night view, **few people, perfect lighting, no lines!** Dinner at “Guaxixi Hotpot” (Jiefangbei branch, 88 RMB/person) with nine-grid hotpot, tripe, crispy meat, and iced jelly—authentic old flavors, **40% cheaper than inside Hongyadong!** --- **Day 2: Liziba → E’ling No.2 Factory → Ciqikou → Sichuan Fine Arts Institute Graffiti Street (Cost: 220 RMB)** **Morning: Liziba Light Rail Through-Building (Free)** Take bus 262 to Liziba Station, shoot the classic “light rail through building” angle from the viewing platform outside the station, then go upstairs to **Liziba Anti-Japanese War Site Park** to shoot a dynamic video of the train “coming out of the building”! **Noon: E’ling No.2 Factory Creative Park (Free)** Walk 15 minutes uphill; industrial style + vintage bookstore + cliffside café. Must-check spots: - “No.2 Factory” red staircase - viewing platform for river views - niche café “Kunkun Coffee” (latte 25 RMB) **Afternoon: Ciqikou Ancient Town (Free)** Take the bus to Ciqikou, don’t just stroll the main street! Turn into alleys to eat: - “Chen Mahua” (old shop, 10 RMB/bag) - “Mao Xue Wang” (old alley shop, 48 RMB/portion) - “Iced Jelly Stall” (with rice cakes and hawthorn slices, 8 RMB) **Evening: Sichuan Fine Arts Institute Graffiti Street (Free)** Taxi to Huangjueping (15 RMB). The whole street is covered with student hand-painted graffiti, perfect for cyberpunk-style photos, **100% photo success rate!** Back to homestay, have a bowl of “Huashi Wanza Noodles” downstairs (18 RMB), ending a fulfilling day. --- **Day 3: Wulong Tiankeng Three Natural Bridges One-Day Tour (Cost: 520 RMB)** **Book a local small group! Don’t drive yourself! Mountain roads are dangerous!** I booked a “Wulong One-Day Pure Play Tour” on Trip.com (520 RMB/person, includes): ✅ Round-trip bus from Chongqing main city ✅ Tiankeng Three Natural Bridges ticket 135 RMB ✅ Scenic area electric cart + lunch ✅ Professional guide commentary **Highlights:** - Filming locations for “Curse of the Golden Flower” and “Transformers 4” - Tianlong Bridge, Qinglong Bridge, Heilong Bridge, stunning underground canyon - Cliff walkway + glass viewing platform, heart-pounding!

Board at **Nan’an Shangxinjie Station**, ride backward to Yuzhong, fewer people + better views! **Noon: Xiahaoli Old Street + Longmenhao** Old Chongqing residences, full of artistic shops. Have a cup of “Mountain City Coffee” (28 RMB), bask in the sun and relax. **Afternoon: Nanshan Botanical Garden + Yikeshu Viewing Platform (ticket 30 RMB)** Taxi to Nanshan, visit the botanical garden (greenhouse + rose garden), then go up to the “Yikeshu” viewing platform for panoramic Chongqing shots, **more stunning than Hongyadong’s view!** **Evening: Two Rivers Night Cruise (night view highlight! 158 RMB)** Book tickets in advance, board at Chaotianmen Pier at 7:30 PM, see Hongyadong, Grand Theatre, Raffles City light show, 50 minutes total, **drone-level views!** Back to homestay, organize photos, write travel notes, **perfect ending**. --- **Day 6: Return → Airport → Home (Cost: 620 RMB)** **Morning:** Check out and store luggage, finish with “Bayi Food Street”: - Haoyoulai Sour and Spicy Noodles (12 RMB) - Rose Rice Cake Iced Jelly (10 RMB) - Mountain City Small Glutinous Rice Balls (8 RMB) **Afternoon:** Take rail transit to airport (8 RMB), fly home (ticket 680 RMB including tax). --- **Total Cost Breakdown (Per Person):** Transportation: 8 + 680 + 8 + 680 = **1376 RMB** (including round-trip airfare) Accommodation: 368 × 5 nights = **1840 RMB** (riverside homestay, best value) Food: 88 + 18 + 92 + 12 + 10 + 8 = **228 RMB** Tickets + Cruise: 135 + 120 + 20 + 30 + 158 = **463 RMB** One-day tour fees: 520 + 480 = **1000 RMB** Total: 2977 RMB!
