Begin your day at the White Elephant Fortress, a maze of six interlocked buildings with no lifts. Navigate aerial corridors and hidden passages, experiencing the unique “8D space folding” design. Capture a snapshot of the Yangtze River Cable Car gliding past the futuristic silhouette of Raffles City.

Next, descend the Crown Escalator, a 112-meter industrial marvel. Feel the vibrations as you plunge into a 30°-tilted steel cavern, reminiscent of a Blade Runner-esque transport system. Learn about its history as Asia’s second-longest single-rise escalator, built to bridge the 52.7-meter chasm between Liziba and Caiyuanba railway station.

Head to the Liziba Light Rail to witness the “building-swallowing train.” Photograph Light Rail Line 2 piercing a residential complex from the viewing deck. Ride one stop from Liziba to Niujiaotuo, experiencing the “cyber-tectonic shift” as skyscrapers morph into cliffside dwellings mid-tunnel.

For lunch, dine in a Cold War-era air raid shelter, savouring a sizzling hotpot in a “post-apocalyptic tech bunker.” Try the freeze-braised spiced intestines, cryo-treated to lock in umami bombs.

In the afternoon, visit the Eling Print Factory, a former 1940s printing hub now transformed into a cradle for “Chongqing 2077” creators. Explore graffiti-covered Soviet-era presses and AI-generated installations, including the “Analog-Digital Collision” exhibit.

In the evening, enjoy a neon-drenched street feast at Jiaochangkou Night Market. Try cybernetic spicy noodles and hologram skewers. End your day at DeYi Cyber World, where 360° screens project AI-generated Chongqing landscapes, and neon dragons coil over packed mahjong parlours
