Chongqing: See Cyberpunk China

If you're looking for a city with a layout and vibe completely different from most others in China, Chongqing is a top pick.
It's a city built on hills, where modern urban life meets surreal landscapes. It is a truly "mountain city" full of vibrant street life and a touch of urban magic.
Hop on Metro Line 2, which passes through a residential building, or visit Hongya Cave at night for a glimpse of Chongqing's iconic cyberpunk-style, multi-layered skyline. It's a city that feels like a real-life movie set.

For breathtaking photos, head to the One Tree Viewing Platform on Nanshan Mountain or E'ling Testbed 2 at night. Both spots offer panoramic views of the city glowing with lights, perfect for capturing Chongqing's dramatic urban atmosphere.
Plan to spend 2–3 days exploring the city itself. If you're into natural scenery, add a day trip to Wulong. For cultural highlights, consider a visit to the Dazu Rock Carvings, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
