DESTINATION GUIDE

Chongqing

A mountain city of rivers, food and night lights

THE EXPERIENCE

Chongqing, beyond the postcard.

A mountain city of rivers, food and night lights

Chongqing rises above the meeting point of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers. Its layered streets, hillside viewpoints and famously generous food culture make it a rewarding stop for travellers who want a city with real texture. Pair the neon-lit waterfront with quieter teahouses, historic lanes and a day trip beyond the central districts.

HIGHLIGHTS
