Overview
Discover the real Chongqing on a tour that avoids the crowds and dives into the city's labyrinthine soul. We start at Chaotianmen Square, the historic gateway where Yangtze goods met the city, now home to the futuristic Raffles City.
Tour Highlights:
- Secret Paths: Navigate textile markets and take hidden shortcuts—like a secret lift that skips 10 floors of climbing—to witness authentic workers and street food vendors.
- Spiritual Contrast: Visit the Luohan Buddhist Temple (built in 1026). Its delicate aesthetics create a stunning, bizarre contrast against the backdrop of modern skyscrapers.
- City Icons: See the People’s Liberation Monument and the vibrant Guotai Art Gallery.
- The "Vertical" City: Visit the Kuixing Pavilion, a square suspended over an abyss that went viral on TikTok. I’ll explain the architectural "why" behind this unique landscape.
- Cliffside Life: Walk the Daijia Cliff Alleys, where wooden walkways rooted in stone tell the story of Chongqing's original cliff-dwellings, ending at the iconic Hongya Cave.
As a bonus, I provide free photo services throughout the walk to ensure you capture the perfect shots of this vertical metropolis!
