Chaotianmen isn't what it used to be at all, but it's still something you have to see if you visit Chongqing. Try to go in the evening, get some dinner at one of the restaurants there, and then pay for a boat ride on the river. The boat ride is a total rip-off, but it's the one way you're going... More

If you want to do shopping in Chongqing, this is the place! You can find everything from here you need and you don't need. It is not so far from the city center, prop. 10-15 min. by taxi depend on traffic. Lots of people and traffic jam

Spent an afternoon there in March and I recommend you to go there just to spend time. See old grandfathers and young children play with kites, buy pineapple and other fruits, walk down the stairs to the shore and look over the Yangtse and Jialingrivers over to the other district, photograph the sightseeing boats along the rivers etc.

A square built where two rivers flowing through the city joins. Lot of construction activity going but, but it still offers a great view. If you like, u can take a ride through the river using the ferries.

We went to check out the place where the Yangzi river and the Jialing river meet up and this is the same place where you board the cruise for the three gorges dam. We did not have enough time for the three days cruise but enjoyed the one hour cruise around the area. Tickets were being sold for 48, later... More

The dock area at the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers is ablaze of lights and activity at night. If the weather is good you can get a cracking view of the city. Here you can book three gorges cruises or just dine on one of the brightly coloured restaurant boats. There are many stalls selling trinkets and street... More

Chaotianmen is the dock built on the point where River Jailing and Yantze submerge. One can clearly see this and identify these rivers by their color. It's the place to start Yantze river cruise or 02 hours Chongqing Night tour. Chongqing night cruise is well worth to see the bright and colorfull lights and very vibrant Hongya Dong. It's not...

This large public square overlooking the junction of the Jianin and Yangtze rivers was not on our itinerary, but we asked our guide to take us there. I am glad we did, as it turned out to be the highlight of our day in Chongqing. The square is humongous and provides an unbeatable view. There are people flying kites to... More
