Tour Overview

Experience the Best of Chongqing in 4 Days

Chongqing is unlike any other city in China. Built among steep hills and surrounded by the Yangtze and Jialing rivers, it is famous for its layered skyline, dramatic night views, spicy hotpot, maze-like streets, and vibrant local life. For international travelers, Chongqing offers a very different side of urban China — bold, energetic, scenic, and full of character.

This 4-day Chongqing group tour combines classic city sightseeing with a scenic day trip to Wulong Karst, giving you a balanced experience of Chongqing’s culture, food, history, architecture and natural beauty.

You will visit the city’s most recognizable highlights, from the traditional streets of Ciqikou to the futuristic views of Jiefangbei and Hongya Cave. You will also see the famous Liziba monorail, where a train appears to pass directly through a residential building — one of Chongqing’s most photographed urban sights.

The journey also includes Wulong Karst National Geology Park, a spectacular area of limestone bridges, cliffs, gorges and sinkholes. It is one of the best nature escapes from Chongqing and a must-see for travelers who love landscapes and photography.
