Chong Qing/Culture

Best Culture in Chong Qing

• Hongyadong

  An eleven-story complex of stilted buildings stacked up a cliff face on the north bank of the Jialing River, built in the traditional 'diaojiaolou' style. Lit up at night, it's one of the most photographed views in Chongqing.

• Ciqikou Ancient Town

  A well-preserved riverside old town of Ming- and Qing-era stone streets, once a porcelain-trading port on the Jialing River, now lined with teahouses, snack vendors, and craft shops.

• Yangtze River Cableway

  A cable car crossing the Yangtze River between the Xinhua Road station and Nanan district, in operation since 1987 and now kept running largely as a scenic ride rather than daily commuter transport.
