I must tell you about the treasure hiking route, Longji Mountain, to fully enjoy the beauty of the forests and the elegance of the mountains!

⛳ The hiking routes in the main urban area of Chongqing have been modernized after renovation, such as the mountain city trail by the river, Daijiaxiang trail, Banshanya line, etc. However, the Longji Mountain trail hidden in the Nanshan area of Chongqing's southern bank, although also renovated, has retained its original state, full of wildness, with treacherous terrain and unique scenery. 🐉 Longji Mountain, as the name suggests, is named for its ridge of bizarre rocks resembling a dragon's spine. It is considered an entry-level route by hiking enthusiasts and is the most wild one. ✔️ Check-in Tips: 1⃣️ There are many entrances to Longji Mountain, the most convenient being the entrance at Nanshan Tea Horse Ancient Road Cultural Park. The entire route is 3.5 kilometers, taking about 3 hours. 2️⃣ At the four-kilometer Guangqian Road junction, take buses 380 or 383 and get off at Huangshakan to see the sign for Nanshan Tea Horse Ancient Road Cultural Park, which is also the entrance to the Longji Mountain trail; 3⃣️ At the entrance, there is a map of the Longji Mountain trail. It's best for newcomers to take a photo, so as not to go in the wrong direction. 4⃣️ The hiking route is a loop: Nanshan Tea Horse Ancient Road Park Nanshan Post → Cuihu Mountain Villa → Wangshan Platform → Longji Mountain Stone → Sheep Intestine Trail → Longji Mountain Park 1 → Qingfeng Yinlin → Maple Leaf Ping → Sandstone Stone Platform → Longji Mountain Park 2 → Shiyu Platform → Nanshan Tea Horse Ancient Road Park Nanshan Post; 5⃣️ People generally take the wrong path at the century-old Huangjue tree at the leisure platform. Walk down the slope to the right towards Nanshan Academy, then take the small path on the right here, and you'll be on your way to Cuihu Mountain Villa. 6⃣️ Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring drinking water or mineral water, and it's best to bring some cooling oil to prevent mosquito bites. 7⃣️ It is advised not to go on rainy days, as there is a rugged and treacherous section of the path, not suitable for those with a fear of heights.

5 Epic Chongqing Photo Spots for Viral Snaps Chongqing, China’s “Mountain City,” is a photographer’s playground, where neon-lit hillsides, ancient streets, and trains slicing through buildings create jaw-dropping shots. Forget generic snaps—these five viral photo spots come with precise angles and insider tips to make your Instagram feed pop. From cyberpunk skylines to cultural gems, here’s where to point your lens in Chongqing! 1️⃣ Hongyadong: Neon-Charged Hillside Glow Perched on the Jialing River’s edge in Yuzhong District, Hongyadong’s 11-story stilted buildings, rooted in traditional Bayu architecture, light up like a sci-fi dream. A modern hub since its 2006 renovation, it’s Chongqing’s most iconic photo op. 📸 Where to Shoot 📸 📎 Riverside near Grand Theater: Take Line 6 to Grand Theater Station (Exit 2), walk to the Jialing River under Qiansimen Bridge, and capture Hongyadong’s glowing facade reflected on the water. Best at night for vibrant lights. 📎 Qiansimen Bridge: Stroll onto the bridge for a bird’s-eye view, framing the complex against the skyline. Dusk adds golden-hour magic. 📎 Dai Family Lane Cliff Path: Near Yudandan Hot Pot, this quieter path offers close-up shots of wooden facades and lanterns. 2️⃣ Ciqikou Ancient Town: Timeless Sichuan Charm In Shapingba District, Ciqikou, a Ming Dynasty relic, boasts cobblestone streets and traditional Sichuan architecture, reflecting Chongqing’s 3,000-year history. It’s a cultural hotspot by the Jialing River. 📸 Where to Shoot 📸 📎 Baolun Temple: Capture the 1,000-year-old temple’s double-eaved roofs and serene courtyards, best in early morning light for soft tones. 📎 Heng Jie Alley: Near the temple, shoot traditional doorways and stone steps for a quiet, historical vibe—less crowded than the main street. 📎 Jialing Riverside: Frame Ciqikou’s tiled roofs with the river in the foreground, ideal at sunset for golden hues. 3️⃣ Night Views from Raffles City or Longmenhao: Cyberpunk Skyline Chongqing’s skyline, with the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers reflecting towering skyscrapers, is a futuristic marvel, born from the city’s rapid urban boom. 📸 Where to Shoot 📸 📎 Raffles City Observation Deck: At Chaotianmen Square, this 250-meter-high deck (Line 1, Chaotianmen Station) offers panoramic views of the river confluence. Shoot at night for twinkling lights, using a tripod for long exposures. 📎 Longmenhao Old Street: Located in Nanan District (Line 6, Shangxinjie Station), this street offers a unique blend of traditional lantern-lit buildings against the backdrop of modern skyscrapers, especially during evening performances. 4️⃣ Yangtze River Cableway: Sky-High City Vistas Since 1987, the Yangtze River Cableway, connecting Yuzhong and Nanan Districts, has offered aerial views of Chongqing’s rivers and hills. It’s a tourist magnet for its cinematic perspectives. 📸 Where to Shoot 📸 📎 During the Ride: Grab a window seat to snap the skyline, bridges, and rivers below, best at dusk for a mix of daylight and city lights. 📎 Xinhua Road Station: Near Jiefangbei (Line 2, Jiefangbei Station), shoot the cable car against the urban backdrop before boarding. 📎Shangxin Street Station: In Nanan, capture the riverside view from the platform, framing the cable car’s descent. 5️⃣ Liziba Station: Train-Through-Building Wonder In Yuzhong District, Liziba Station is a global sensation for its monorail, which slices through a 19-story residential building on floors 6–8. Noise-reducing technology, such as rubber tires, keeps it quiet for residents, showcasing Chongqing’s innovative urban design. 📸 Where to Shoot 📸 📎 Viewing Platform: Outside the station (Line 2, Liziba Station, Exit B), capture the train mid-passage through the building, best when it’s centered for maximum impact. 📎Secret Café: Exit left to a family-owned café next door, perfect for cozy shots with the station as a backdrop—ideal for waiting out train schedules. These spots are Chongqing’s visual soul—get snapping for epic, shareable memories!
