Day 1 Chongqing Tour | Ciqikou Ancient Town, Three Gorges Museum, Liziba Metro, Hongya Cave

Welcome to Chongqing, China’s Spectacular Mountain City! Get ready to immerse yourself in one of the most exciting destinations trending on TikTok! Known for its unique 3D city layout and dazzling night views, Chongqing is often called the "Little Hong Kong" for its vibrant skyline and dynamic urban vibe. Indulge in the most authentic hotpot in the Hotpot Capital of China. Nestled at the confluence of the Yangtze River and Jialing River, Chongqing also serves as your gateway to the breathtaking Three Gorges, one of China's most iconic natural wonders.

Upon meeting you at the airport, train station, or Chaotianmen Port, start your journey with us at Ciqikou Ancient Town, a living museum of Chongqing’s history! This 1,000-year-old charming town, featuring well-preserved Ming and Qing Dynasty architecture, was once a bustling porcelain trade hub and still brims with cultural heritage. Explore the enchanting streets of Ciqikou, where every step on the narrow cobblestone paths feels like traveling back in time. Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere as you admire traditional crafts, enjoy local performances such as Sichuan opera face-changing shows, and savor delicious street food like the famous Mahua (crispy fried dough twists).

This afternoon, embark on a journey through time at the Three Gorges Museum, home to a vast collection of over 280,000 precious historical relics. Dive deep into the fascinating story of the Yangtze River, the formation of the iconic Three Gorges, and the evolution of Chongqing from its ancient beginnings to its vibrant rise in the 20th century. After exploring the museum, don’t miss the chance to capture stunning photos in front of the People’s Assembly Hall, an architectural masterpiece located just outside the museum.

Later, let’s witness the most thrilling sight - the train that passes through a building at Liziba Metro Station. Located on Line 2 of Chongqing’s monorail, this station is famously constructed through the middle of a residential building, making it a truly unique and unforgettable experience.

After that, you will be transferred to Hongya Cave, located along the Jialing River and near Chaotianmen Square. It is famous for its traditional stilted buildings (Diaojiaolou), dazzling night views, and vibrant atmosphere. Stroll along the riverside promenade to enjoy spectacular views of the Jialing River and the modern Chongqing skyline. Explore the multi-level complex, featuring Diaojiaolou-style wooden structures and steep stairways. Here, you can even try Hot Pot, if you like. As night falls, this complex transforms into a dazzling spectacle, offering one of Chongqing’s most iconic night views.

After the tour, your 1-day Chongqing Tour concludes. Your guide and driver will escort you to the airport or train station in Chongqing for your onward flight or high-speed train to your next destination.Thank you for choosing Asia Odyssey Travel for your China Chongqing tour!

Superb tour guide, excellent scenic spots
First time in Harbin for my wife and 5-year-old son, and we had an amazing tour with Catherine. Catherine really knows Harbin inside and out, sharing lots of interesting history and making the tour super informative.
Catherine were incredibly patient and always kept the car warm for us, which was a lifesaver in the freezing weather! The tour itself was so convenient, and Catherine was very helpful and patient, always catering to our needs.
The main attractions we visited were the Ice and Snow Festival, the Snow Fair, and the Siberian Tiger Park—all incredible experiences. I’d highly recommend this private tour to anyone visiting Harbin, especially if you don’t speak the language. It’ll save you so much time and effort. Even if you do speak Chinese, taking this private tour will make your trip truly worthwhile and memorable!

Yangtze Explorer Cruise (Yichang - Chongqing)
As part of the larger China tour we boarded the Yangtze Explorer at Yichang for a 4 night cruise to Chongqing. Note: it is a ca. 2 hour journey from Yichang airport to the port and the reverse cruise journey is 3 nights.
 
The service was excellent. I’m almost not exaggerating that if you dropped your napkin they would catch it before it hits the floor. A special mention for our waiter, Alan in this regard.
 
Wine is plentiful at meals so unless you’re planning a late night I wouldn’t bother with a drinks package.
 
Overall a lovely journey and a very well run ship. Credit to ship manager Teddy for that who was always on hand to mix with guests.
