The charm of a three-dimensional city that can't be captured in photos.

I had heard that Chongqing is a city with beautiful night views, but it was even more than that when I actually visited. The city's structure itself is three-dimensional. Even in the same area, there are layers upon layers of buildings stacked on top of each other. You can be walking through a forest of skyscrapers, then suddenly go down some stairs to find a subway station, and then go back up to find yourself in a completely different street, revealing new views at every turn. The most impressive scene for me was walking along the riverside during the day. The whole city seemed to be built on a cliff, and the skyline across the river was so dense that it was overwhelming. The scale and vertical structure of the city hit me right in the face. I expected a dense building view like New York, but this was even more unique. It felt like the city wasn't just placed on the ground, but rather hanging layer by layer. At night, as the lights gradually come on, the city takes on a different atmosphere. Not all buildings are lit up, making the view more realistic and lively. It felt like a living city rather than a neatly arranged one. While photos can capture some of its beauty, you really have to see it with your own eyes to fully appreciate its scale and atmosphere. Chongqing has countless spots with great views, not just one or two. You can just turn your head while walking up or down the stairs and find amazing moments. The city itself feels like a three-dimensional observatory, even without going to a specific viewpoint. The structure of this city is much more delicate and unique than I thought, making it a place you must visit at least once.
