Kui Xing Lou Suspension Bridge in Chongqing
Chongqing's Kui Xing Lou was first built during the Qing Dynasty's Yongzheng era, in the third year, when the culture of literature began to flourish in Jiangzhou, near the Confucian temple by Fuzi Pool. In 1953, Kui Xing Lou was demolished. It wasn't until the 1990s that a renovation project was initiated, and in May 2003, the Kui Xing Lou Square with its antique-style architecture was officially completed. In 2019, the movie 'Better Days' starring Jackson Yee was filmed at Kui Xing Lou, which brought fame to the building once again. Today, on the 11th floor of Kui Xing Lou, a new base for the experience of intangible cultural heritage has been created, offering you the chance to experience the wonderful depth of Chinese culture. Address: No. 7, Datang Square, Linjiangmen, Yuzhong District, Chongqing
a1 About transportation:
1. Self-driving: Navigate to 'Kui Xing Lou Multi-level Parking Garage', where there is an elevator on the first floor that takes you directly to the top floor. This is, in my opinion, the most convenient option. After taking photos on the top floor, you can come down to check in and take more pictures.
2. Light rail: Exit D of Linjiangmen Station on Line 2, take a few steps up the stairs on your right hand side, and you will reach the flat plaza of Kui Xing Lou.

1. Kui Xing Lou Square (the entire square has very distinctive ancient architecture) 2. Pedestrian bridge (the 'flat floor' on the 22nd floor is not for those who are afraid of heights) 3. Totoro Wall (take the elevator from the 22nd floor down to the 2nd floor) You can refer to our shooting positions to get the same locations as in the movie. Chongqing's unique geography and climate are favored by mystery drama directors. The '8D' terrain with its undulating and overlapping structures complements the camera movement design needed for shooting, and the humid and foggy weather matches the unique atmosphere required for mystery dramas.
Out of 10 works in a certain platform's 'Mist Theater', 6 were filmed in Chongqing: 'Fatal Wish', 'The Silent Truth', 'Inescapable', 'Extraordinary Witness', 'Ten Day Game', 'The Daughter Who Came Back'. Following TV shows and movies to check in at Chongqing is a choice for many tourists. Kui Xing Lou from 'Better Days', Bai Xiang Residence from 'Hot Pot Heroes', Yangtze River Cableway from 'Crazy Stone', Dongshuimen Bridge from 'The Silent Truth'... Even if it's your first time here, you won't feel unfamiliar, but rather like a long-awaited reunion.
Through the lens, TV shows and movies give us a glimpse of unfamiliar cities, let us feel the atmosphere of the city, and plant a seed called yearning.
Through travel, on-site tours allow us to stroll through familiar streets and alleys, touch the textures of doors and walls, and marvel at the wonder called dejavu.
We don't know what kind of scenery we like, what kind of atmosphere we prefer, so we watch TV dramas, movies, and variety shows, hoping to find answers, hoping others will tell us that there is such a city, such a way of life. Then we go there, to experience, to feel, to search for the answers in our hearts.
