[2025 Chongqing ] Travel Guide for Chongqing Two Rivers Cruise - Jinbi Series (Updated Jun)

As is well known, Chongqing is a magical 8D city. During the day, people climb slopes and take photos at various popular spots, experiencing its three-dimensional space. However, if you don't enjoy the night view, the legendary 8D magical experience will be at least halved. "If you haven't seen the night view, you haven't been to Chongqing," this is not an unfounded slogan, but a sincere exclamation from many people captivated by Chongqing's night scene. The best choice to enjoy the night view of the two rivers is undoubtedly taking the Chongqing Liangjiang Cruise. As night falls, the neon lights along the banks of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers light up one by one, and the cruise ship sails between the two rivers. The stilted buildings of Hongya Cave are stacked layer upon layer, dazzling with colors; the red Qiansimen Bridge's lights dim and brighten with the rhythm of breathing; every few minutes, you can see the light rail shuttling through the belly of the bridge; the night view of the Grand Theatre is orderly and its contours are clear; the Raffles City building stands tall like a raised sail at Chaotianmen Dock; the Yangtze River cableway carries tourists back and forth overhead; the twin skyscrapers shine golden during the day and sparkle with seven colors at night; on the river, the water police driving speedboats add a dynamic touch to the night scene... The riverside of the mountain city has a gentle evening breeze; and the night scenery is bright and vivid. How can such a beautiful view not be worth a visit?
