Chongqing: 8D City Where Traditional Architecture Meets Modernity

Chongqing must-do city line recommendation! If you come to Chongqing for the first time, it is strongly recommended to experience this "8D magical city": not only the light rail through the building, but also casually check-in a street with hot pot aroma overflowing, the atmosphere of ancient and modern blend is impressive. The trip starts from the popular Liberation Monument Pedestrian Street, passing through the fireworks and humane 18 Ladders, trendy art landmarks, night view photo Hongya Cave, and the food gathering place of Ciqikou Ancient Town. 👟 It is recommended that your clothes and shoes must be comfortable, because the terrain of Chongqing is really "up and down can not stop ~" Inventory of city highlights📍 1. The magic of 8D city: elevators, overpasses, cave tunnels, step by step surprises. 2. Hot Pot + Spicy Chicken Everywhere: The gourmet theme will never let you down. 3. A mixture of ancient and modern: the prosperity of Liberation Monument, the retro of Hongya Cave, the old-school life of Ciqikou.
