Chongqing: Mountain City & Yangtze Nights

Chongqing is a short, intense city stay rather than a full province. We use it as a bridge between Chengdu and the Yangtze: two nights in the centre, a guide who understands the hills, and enough time for hotpot, the old town and the river at night.

  • Hongya Cave at night
  • Chongqing hotpot dinner
  • Three Gorges Museum
  • Yangtze cableway and river views
