Hongya Cave (洪崖洞) is

Hongya Cave (洪崖洞) is one of Chongqing’s most iconic attractions, combining traditional stilt-house architecture with a bustling hub of eateries, shops, and teahouses. Perched along the cliffs of the Jialing River, the 11-story complex recreates the charm of old Bayu-style dwellings. When night falls, its golden lights illuminate the entire façade, creating a spectacular scene often compared to the world of Spirited Away. To get the best perspective, I crossed to the opposite riverbank, a spot highly favored by photography enthusiasts. From there, you can take in the full panorama of Hongya Cave glowing against the city skyline — stilted wooden structures cascading down the cliff, framed by modern skyscrapers in the background. It’s the postcard-perfect image of Chongqing and a must for any traveler. #historicallandmarks#localguides#旅行酷体验#景点拍照指南#旅行灵感
