šŸ“ø Chongqing’s Cyberpunk Aesthetic Is Truly Top-Tierā€¼ļø

ā€œCyber city! It’s crazy!ā€ That phrase from Jia-Kang-Ge (甲亢哄) went viral everywhere when he recently visited Chongqing. But honestly, Chongqing’s nights have long amazed countless photographers. The monorail weaving between skyscrapers, the sea of taxis beneath neon-red and green lights, the overpasses at dusk… Mist, lights, density, speed—every frame feels like living inside a movie. Below are some of my favorite cyberpunk-inspired shooting spots I’ve compiled over the past two years. You’ll find both popular angles and off-the-beaten-track gems—everything shoots with maximum atmosphere. šŸ‘Œ āø» 1ļøāƒ£ Yalan International Tower (29th Floor Rooftop) • Entry: Ā„30 per person • Best for late-night shots without weird colored show lights 2ļøāƒ£ Guanyinqiao Classic Spot • Navigate to North City Mall (Beicheng Tianjie) Gate 8 • Use a 2–5 second long exposure for that light-trail effect 3ļøāƒ£ Tangjiayuanzi Monorail Station, Exit 2 4ļøāƒ£ Daxigou Monorail Station • Feels like a ā€œsmall‐town Japanese-styleā€ monorail station 5ļøāƒ£ Qiānfó Temple & Chaotianmen in One Frame • Navigate to Himalaya Banquet Hall 6ļøāƒ£ Chaodong Road • Raffles City glowing in the distance 7ļøāƒ£ Under the Hongyan Village Bridge • No one else can get up there—must Photoshop yourself in 8ļøāƒ£ Xiejiawan Interchange & Egongyan Bridge • Navigate to Longteng Avenue / Xiexiaolu Intersection 9ļøāƒ£ Skywalk Outside Jiangbei Airport Arrival Hall • Rows of yellow Ferraris lined up perfectly—check it immediately upon landing. Chongqing is truly ahead of its time. 1ļøāƒ£0ļøāƒ£ā€“1ļøāƒ£1ļøāƒ£ HaiShilù 75 CafĆ© Checkpoint • Looks even more epic at night 1ļøāƒ£2ļøāƒ£ Wangjiang Apartment 8th-Floor Terrace 1ļøāƒ£3ļøāƒ£ (Three Spots Around Liziba Station) • Navigate to Feihu Riverside Hotpot 1ļøāƒ£4ļøāƒ£ Shangqingsi Police Station 1ļøāƒ£5ļøāƒ£ Lansheng Pavilion • Taxi to Datianwan Primary School and avoid the stairs 1ļøāƒ£6ļøāƒ£ Under Chongqing Grand Theatre by the Riverside 1ļøāƒ£7ļøāƒ£ On the Jialing River Bridge at Zengjiayan 1ļøāƒ£8ļøāƒ£ Inside Haitangxi Monorail Station This trip to Chongqing, I flew on Air China—super punctual and comfortable. Touching down right as the city hit its ā€œgolden hour,ā€ the view out the window felt like the opening scene of a film. I chose to stay at Donghewan Hotel in the city center—super convenient for both metro and monorail, so chasing spots was effortless. The lobby and room designs were also incredibly photogenic. Snapping a photo isn’t hard; capturing Chongqing’s unique texture might take visiting several times. But every time I wander this city, I’m blown away again by its layers and rhythm. #mountaincityromance #cyberpunk #chongqing #chongqingtravel #chongqingphotography #chongqingphotospots #chongqingphotoheaven #chongqingphotoguide #urbannoir #neondreams #monorailmagic #cityoffogandlights #filmscenevibes #djimini3pro #cityscapeobsession
