Overview
A classic day that brings together Chongqing's city culture and its most photographed spots. A private driver-guide collects you from your hotel for the grand Chongqing People's Great Hall, the monorail-through-a-building spectacle at Liziba and the lively Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street, then heads to Hongyadong at dusk for a dazzling night view that looks like a scene from an animated film. With a private vehicle all day there is no pressure: the timing is relaxed and flexible, making this an ideal choice for photography, food and city exploration.
One of Chongqing's landmarks, the Chongqing People's Great Hall blends classical palace style with modern architectural aesthetics and stands as a symbol of the city's spirit. The building is magnificent and its exterior truly striking, and the wide plaza in front is a favourite spot for group photos and architectural silhouettes.

One of Chongqing's landmarks, the Chongqing People's Great Hall blends classical palace style with modern architectural aesthetics and stands as a symbol of the city's spirit. The building is magnificent and its exterior truly striking, and the wide plaza in front is a favourite spot for group photos and architectural silhouettes.
Liziba Station became a world-famous curiosity because the monorail runs straight through a residential building, and from the viewing platform you can capture the train threading through the block. It is both a social-media photo hotspot and a snapshot of Chongqing's multi-level cityscape, so have your camera and video mode ready.
In the heart of Chongqing's commercial district, this is the must-visit spot for shopping, food and city atmosphere. High-rises stand alongside historic buildings, and the streets are lively day and night. Try local favourites such as hotpot, chuanchuan skewers and Chongqing xiaomian noodles, and pick up local souvenirs.
Built into the cliff face, Hongyadong is quaint and traditional by day and, once night falls, lights up like a fairy-tale castle. Right beside the Jialing River and Qiansimen Bridge, it is the perfect place for night photography and a taste of Chongqing's romance, and you can also enjoy dinner here with river views.
