Popular Spots for Social Media Check-ins • Fotuguan Park: This is Chongqing's most popular spot for social media check-ins in spring. When the flowering plums are in full bloom, Light Rail Line 2 passes through the sea of flowers like a "train to spring," forming a unique landscape. There are also Tang and Song stone carvings and ancient pavilions in the park, where history and nature blend together.
