Speaking of Chongqing, it is a very famous tourist city in China. During the just concluded May Day holiday, Chongqing really attracted a lot of attention from tourists, and there were countless friends who went to visit. So, what is the most suitable three-day itinerary for visiting Chongqing? Let's take a look with the editor below
Day 1: Huguang Guild Hall → Monument to the people's Liberation → Kuixing Tower → Yangtze River Cableway → Longmen Haolao Street② Monument to the people's Liberation
Each city has its own symbol and landmark. As one of the city cards of Chongqing, Monument to the people's Liberation is not only a landmark building, but also carries the memories of countless old Chongqing people.
Monument to the people's Liberation Business District is the largest business district in Chongqing, so it is natural to visit shopping malls in Monument to the people's Liberation. There are many famous shopping malls, including New Century Department Store, Chongqing Department Store, Pacific Department Store, Metropolis Plaza, Wangfujing Department Store, etc
And there are also many snack streets in the surrounding area. Basically, Chongqing's specialty snacks can be found here. Walking towards the direction of Delicious Street, there are also many snack streets! You can go there to have a look
④ Longmen Haolao Street
Standing by the river on the south bank, Longmen Haolao Street was once a true "foreigner street", engraved with the memories of the older generation of Chongqing people. Despite a hundred years of wind and rain, the Western style culture still exists in Longmen Haolao Street, leaving traceable traces. It is the best preserved and largest historical and cultural old street in the main urban area of Chongqing
As night falls, you can also enjoy the night view on Nanbin Road~
⑤ Yangtze River Cableway
The Yangtze River Cableway has a nickname that many people don't know - Tujian. It travels back and forth between Xinhua Road in Yuzhong District and Shangxin Street in Nan'an District every day. It was an auxiliary transportation tool in Shancheng many years ago
At night, from the window of the cableway, the splendor of both sides can be seen in full view
Changjiang Cableway North Station: located at No. 153 Xinhua Road, Yuzhong District, Chang'an * (5 kilometers away from Chaotianmen, Chongqing)

2. The next day
D2: Two major churches in Jiangbei → Chongqing Science and Technology Museum → Chongqing Grand Theater → Qiansimen Bridge → Hongyadong
① Two major churches in Jiangbei
The Gospel Church, located in the central business district of Jiangbeizui, has a history of over a hundred years and was first built by American missionary Ma Jiali during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty
The architecture of the Gospel Church combines a hybrid style of classical and modern religious architecture, making it a typical Western Gothic building. The towering spires and stained glass windows exude a sacred feeling. Across from the Gospel Church is the Ming Yuzhen Emperor's Mausoleum, which you can take a look at together.
The Delisa Church, located at 41 Guihua Street, Jiangbeizui, was originally built in 1855 and has undergone multiple renovations. It is the first church in Chongqing to be relocated as a whole.
② Chongqing Science and Technology Museum
Inside the museum, you can learn about the history and future of domestic and international as well as local scientific and technological development in Chongqing. There are many exhibition halls for life technology, disaster prevention technology, transportation technology, national defense technology, etc. Many facilities in the museum can be operated and experienced by yourself, which is very interesting
③ Chongqing Grand Theater
The Grand Theater is located at Jiangbeizui and is a landmark building in Chongqing. It is situated on the north side of the Qiansimen Bridge, facing Hongyadong across the river. It is a great place to enjoy the night view ④ Qiansimen Bridge From Jinshamen Road near Chongqing Grand Theater, there is a Qiansimen Bridge, which happens to be walking on the side of Hongya Cave. You can enjoy the night view of Hongya Cave, Yuzhong and the north bank of the river from afar ⑤ Hongya Cave You can reach Hongya Cave by walking over the Qiansimen Bridge on the road. Hongya Cave is composed of stilted houses and antique commercial streets, and the entire architectural complex is built along the mountain, with a staggered layout, especially at night, which is 90% similar to the izakaya in Japanese anime master Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away" Strolling from the 11th floor to the next floor, and reaching the first floor on flat ground, this is also the magical feature of Hongyadong D3: People's Grand Hall → Chongqing China Three Gorges Museum → Crown Escalator → Liziba Light Rail Station → Erling Second Factory → Erling Park ① People's Grand Hall One of Chongqing's landmark buildings, the People's Grand Hall, is located here and looks more imposing from afar. After the lights are turned on at night, the Grand Hall is even more beautiful. The People's Square in front of the hall is also more lively and bustling than during the day, with locals dancing the dam dance and a strong sense of life ② China Three Gorges Museum It is said that if you want to learn about a city, you must go to a museum to see it. The first one that I recommend is the China Three Gorges Museum ③ Crown Escalator The Crown Escalator at Lianglukou in Chongqing has a total length of 112 meters and runs for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. It is one of the characteristic transportation tools in Chongqing and is second only to the Rongguang Subway Station in Pyongyang, North Korea. It is also the second longest and first level elevated slope escalator in Asia. ④ Liziba Light Rail Station Liziba Station on Light Rail Line 2, where the light rail passes through buildings and valleys every day, and the magical scene of the light rail flying through the air is performed.
