What's included

What you'll see and do

1. Hongya Cave

   Hongya Cave is one of the seventeen city gates of ancient Chongqing, a national 4A - level scenic area and a landmark of Chongqing. Built along the mountain and facing the river, on the cliff, there are 11 - storey Bayu stilted buildings with a height of 79 meters. Relying on the elevation difference of the mountain city, it forms a three - dimensional pavilion, which is called the real - life version of the fantasy world in "Spirited Away". It integrates delicious food, old streets, bars and sightseeing. The core highlight is the night view when the lights are turned on in the evening. From here, you can overlook the grand scene of the confluence of the two rivers.

2. Chongqing Theater

   Chongqing Theater is located on the bank of Jiangbeizui, facing Yuzhong Peninsula across the river. Inspired by the design concept of "a solitary sail fading into the distance", it resembles a giant glass ship moored by the river. The entire building is covered with an irregular light - green glass curtain wall, which is composed of scattered geometric blocks. During the day, it is transparent, reflecting the shimmering waves of the two rivers. At night, when all the lights are on, it sparkles brightly. As the top - tier art landmark in Chongqing, it mainly stages operas, concerts and dramas. When viewed from a cruise ship in the distance, it echoes the lights of Hongya Cave on the opposite bank across the river, forming a classic riverside view of the mountain city.

3. Qiansimen Bridge

   Spanning the Jialing River, Qiansimen Bridge glows in red and golden lights after dark like a giant fire dragon resting on the water. Its shimmering reflection spreads across the river surface. Beside it lies the brilliantly lit Hongyadong, while neon glimmers from Chongqing Grand Theatre on the opposite bank. Old and modern lights echo across the river. Viewed from a cruise ship, mountains, ancient buildings, the bridge and skyscrapers blend into one iconic night view of Chongqing.

4. Raffles City Mall Chongqing

   Raffles City Chongqing stands at Chaotianmen where the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers converge, nicknamed "Sails Facing the Sky". Eight high-rises look like giant ship sails with a huge crystal sky corridor linking towers high above. Lit up at night, its glowing lights reflect on river water. A comprehensive complex with malls, offices and hotels, it forms Chongqing’s iconic riverside skyline when viewed from cruise ships.

5. Chaotianmen Yangtze Grand Bridge

   Spanning the Yangtze River, Chaotianmen Bridge is a world-famous large-span steel arch bridge with double decks for vehicles and light rail. Its huge red arch glimmers with colorful lights after dark, whose reflections ripple on the river. Framed by Raffles City and the river confluence, it forms a spectacular landmark night view seen from cruise ships.
