Overview

Chongqing Quick Facts

Chongqing is located in southwestern China, on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It used to be a wartime companion capital, and in 1997 it became one of the four municipalities directly under the Central Government in China. Chongqing is surrounded by mountains on all sides and built on the mountains. Because it is located on the edge of the basin, where the two rivers meet, the fog is hazy all the year round, so it is also known as the "mountain city" and the "fog capital".

Food, night scenes and beautiful women are the three major business cards of Chongqing. Chongqing is a famous gourmet resort and a paradise for foodies, especially the world-famous hot pot, which is spicy and fragrant, "attracting countless diners to compete." The night of the mountain city is the most famous scene in Chongqing. Whether it is standing on Nanshan Mountain or overlooking the Yangtze River Cableway from the air, you can enjoy the dazzling night and the scenery of the two rivers. Chongqing is also rich in beautiful women, and popular business districts such as Jiefangbei and Guanyin Bridge are good places to look for beautiful women.

In addition to the main urban area of Chongqing, the Wulong Tiankeng and Dazu Rock Carvings around Chongqing have also become famous in the past two years , and they are only 2-3 hours away from Chongqing. They can go back and forth on the same day. Almost all tourists who come to Chongqing will take a day trip to Wulong. Feel the magic of nature, and go to the Dazu Rock Carvings to appreciate the exquisiteness of ancient cliff statues.

best time to travel

March-May and September-October are the best time to travel in Chongqing.

March-May, September-October: Because Chongqing has a subtropical monsoon humid climate, these two periods are spring and autumn in Chongqing, and the temperature is the most comfortable, neither cold nor hot.

November-February: Chongqing starts winter from November and starts the rainy season. The climate is wet and cold, but it is suitable for hot pot and hot springs. This is also the off-season in Chongqing, and most attractions implement off-season tickets. On Christmas and New Year's Eve, many people will gather at the Jiefangbei in Chongqing to listen to the chime of the Jiefangbei and the balloons.

June-August: It is the scorching summer season in Chongqing . It is as hot as a stove city, with the highest temperature reaching 40°C; but the locals prefer to eat hot pot in summer, and sweating is the most enjoyable. And during this time, the fog is relatively light, and the night scene is the clearest. Wulong, Jinfo Mountain and other places around Chongqing have also caused housing prices to rise by about 10% due to the crowds taking refuge in the heat. It is best to book rooms in advance.

Recommended play days

3-5 days.

The tourist attractions in the main urban area of Chongqing are very concentrated, and it is enough to eat and drink for 3 days. If you go to Dazu Rock Carvings or Wulong, it will take 1 day for each of the two places.

consumption level

The consumption level of Chongqing is roughly the same as that of Chengdu, but lower than that of Beijing and Shanghai.

Attractions: The overall consumption is not high. When you come to Chongqing to play, most of them are in the main urban area. Most of the must-see attractions such as Hongya Cave , Ciqikou , Three Gorges Museum, etc. are open for free. Tickets for other attractions are not expensive. The cableway across the river is 20 yuan per person for one-way, round-trip. 30 yuan/person, 30 yuan for a tree in Nanshan to see the night view. If you go to the surrounding Wulong or Dazu Rock Carvings for a day trip, the consumption will be relatively high, at least 200-300 yuan per capita.

Catering: When you come to Chongqing to play, the focus is on tasting delicious food. Naturally, the cost of food and beverages is a lot, but in fact, the consumption is not high. A bowl of hot and sour noodles is 5-6 yuan per serving, small noodles are 6-10 yuan per serving, and Chaoshou is 10-15 yuan per serving. Lunch and dinner are essential for a hot pot. The old hot pot can usually be eaten at 40-60 yuan per person, while the high-end new style hot pot is more expensive, at 80-100 yuan per person. The food prices in Hongyadong and Ciqikou Ancient Town are twice as expensive as those in other places.

Accommodation: Take the Jiefangbei and Hongyadong areas as examples. Due to the good location, the hotel price is relatively high. The five-star hotel is at least 500 yuan in the off-season, the standard room of the budget hotel is about 200-300 yuan, and the hostel bed is relatively cheap, 50 Yuan/night.

Transportation: The transportation consumption in Chongqing is not high, and the travel basically depends on the subway, the fare is 2-7 yuan; and the scenic spots in Yuzhong District are concentrated, which can be reached on foot. If you really want to take a taxi, the starting price is not expensive at 10 yuan.

In general, if you come during non-holidays, two people play for 3 days, 800-1500 yuan is basically enough, not counting round-trip transportation costs.
