See Chongqing beyond the famous skyline and understand how this extraordinary vertical city really works.

Led by a licensed local English-speaking guide, this walking tour combines Chongqing’s essential landmarks with local stories, hidden viewpoints, and the everyday life behind the city’s futuristic appearance.

We begin at Jiefangbei, the historic and commercial heart of central Chongqing, before exploring:

Along the way, you will learn why Chongqing is built in layers, how local people navigate the city, and how its history, rivers, mountains, and rapid development shaped the Chongqing you see today.

I will also show you good photo spots and share practical recommendations for authentic local food, additional attractions, and the rest of your stay.
