Chongqing Art Museum: Telling the Story of the Mountain City with Colors and Lines

Architectural Features: Passing through the bustling Jiefangbei area, a unique building with dougong design, a red exterior, and a square prism shape comes into view. This is the Chongqing Art Museum, known locally as the "Chopsticks Building," full of Chinese-style artistic charm, standing in sharp contrast to the surrounding high-rises. Exhibition Charm: Inside the Chongqing Art Museum, on the light-colored exhibition walls, paintings quietly tell different stories. For example, the "Suihua Ningzhen—New Collection Achievements Exhibition of Chongqing Art Museum" displays 140 works (sets), including Niu Wen’s "United Against a Common Enemy" and Song Guangxun’s "Red Crag," covering various painting styles and presenting the rich cultural texture of the Bayu region. Stay at the 7 Days Inn Chongqing Shiqiaopu Metro Station, stepping right into a convenient living circle—the metro goes directly to Jiefangbei, easily unlocking the "red walls and dougong" of the Chongqing Art Museum. Spend the day in the "Chopsticks Building" watching Bayu paintings flow with stories of time, and at night, fall asleep to the lively atmosphere along the metro line, seamlessly blending artistic cultivation with comfortable rest.

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
