    This is one of the must-see attractions in Chongqing, with a special and ancient style architecture, it is very colorful in the evening. Very crowded when we were there, even can not take a taxi when we got out of it, no subway can reach this place, a lot of local snacks you can buy in this ancient street. The best location to have a view of this magnificent building is across from the JIaling River, no need to buy ticket to enter it.

    We went on a Chinese tourist boat rather than one for non-Chinese. It was fabulous. The boat does NOT have first class. It makes different stops than the boat for non-Chinese Patrons. The views were extraordinary and our experience unparalleled.

    This is the heart of Chongqing city. It houses the People's Liberation monument at the center of the pedestrian walking boulevard.

    There are plenty of eating and shopping options in the vicinity. It is also the place for people watching.

    “Old Chongqing” is a great place for seeing what a typical busy ancient town looked like, albeit, many of the shops are relatively new but were built to look like ancient architecture, souvenir shopping, and trying some flavourful Chinese street food.

    There is a lot or open space. It could do with more spectacular exhibits. I best liked the exhibits dealing with the Japanese invasion.

    2 hours away from Chongqing by car, started the trek (11km long) from South Gate and the trek lasted 3-4 hours (knowing that I took the cable car [which isn't a must-do] and also the bus within the Black Mountain Valley).

    Entrance was 85 RMB and another 80 for all public transportation within the valley (coach from North Gate to South Gate, cable car, little shuttle bus from the end of the trek back to South Gate, and then coach again from South Gate to North Gate).

    Weather was a bit rainy which gave a great atmosphere. The trek isn't difficult at all with a nice path along the way. If you want to be close to nature and enjoy the view and noise of water, that place is a great idea for a day trip away from Chongqing.

    Our guide took us to the top of the mountain to see the temples and the history was fascinating. Sadly though. you no longer see the face of the Buddha. The trip up is well worth it.

    E'ling Park is located on the top of a small mountain in the center of Chongqing, it would charge 20 or 30RMB to climb up the pagoda to have a panoramic view of the skycrapers, but it was free when we arrived. This is the best place to view Chongqing City, you can feel the modernity and fashion of Chongqing when you are standing on it. Nice ! The park itself is a good place to relax, there are some embassy buildings at the entrance of this park, showing the good relationship between China and other countries.
    It will take you around 1 hour to visit this park, subway is available to reach this place, only 10 minutes walking after getting out the exit.

    As a tourist attraction, I rate the Peoples’ Assembly Hall, aka, Great Hall of the People, as “very good,” and for its functional use by locals, my rating would be “excellent.”

    Awesome ancient Chinese architecture. Large, beautiful theatre on the inside.

    It’s worthwhile going definitely amazing scenery and fresh air make it a good option from a trip from Chongqing, best is to sleep there but it’s also possible to do it as a day trip from Chongqing since there is also a tourist bus from the North Station that takes you there in a little more than two hours

    Many pools with different experiences. There is a room you can sleep in, another with big two person beds you can watch movies and TV, a gym, and a large restaurant that serves a great variety of traditional food. there is a cafe that serves drinks and fruit. Something for everybody who like water. There are pools where the fish some as big as 4" will nibble at your feet and my favorite the hot pool 42 degrees of heaven. Would I recommend this Hot Springs, YES. Value for money, YES, Go there again, YES
