Creator's Key Takeaways

Welcome to Chongqing, China's futuristic mountain city where skyscrapers rise through the clouds, trains run straight through buildings, you get spicy hot pot everywhere you go.

I would hands down say the night river cruise is the best just because the way the city lights up.

I'm actually putting China up there as one of the best countries to travel right now in 2026.

The more I realize just how interesting and appreciative I am to be able to come to China.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Visit Hongya Cave just after sunset for the best experience.
Try the night river cruise to see the city lights up.
Take the cable car across the Yangtze River for an interesting perspective.
Walk around the CBD area early morning or late afternoon for a fun city walk.
Get barbecue along the riverside at sunset for the full experience.
