Why make time for this place?
Chongqing's slopes, stairways, bridges and riverbanks create a layered city. Two places close on a flat map may be separated by height, roads or water.
Use daylight to understand its walkable neighbourhoods, then choose one riverside view at dusk. Leave proper meal time for hotpot or noodles too.

Questions about planning your visit.
Can nearby map pins in Chongqing always be walked?
