Overview

From the gilded dome of the Great Hall to the Republican-era shikumen gates of Ma'anshan, trace an architectural epic beneath the shade of plane trees. Wander through the smoky alleys of Qixinggang, where the spicy aroma of hotpot captures the warmth of city life. In the afternoon, soar across the two rivers on the Yangtze River Cableway, capturing the skyline from 70 metres above. Stroll along the stone paths of Longmenhao, where Ming and Qing walls collide with graffiti art to create echoes through time. This journey spans a 1.5-kilometer vertical elevation, blending Ba-Yu architectural aesthetics, natural wonders, and cultural memories into a multidimensional urban narrative, allowing hikers to decode the soul of 3D Chongqing through every step.
