Why start in
Chongqing?

02 / MAKE SENSE OF THE CITY
Four ways
into Chongqing.
Use these as anchors, not a checklist. A good city plan connects context, neighbourhoods, food and one experience worth planning around.
Understand the vertical city
Metro lines, bridges and stacked streets make more sense once you stop expecting a flat map.
See the rivers after dark
Use several viewpoints rather than chasing one crowded viral angle.
Eat hotpot properly
Pick your spice level, order with a plan and leave room for the city’s smaller dishes.
Ride for the view
In Chongqing, getting around can be part of the experience rather than dead time.
03 / BUILD OUTWARD
Don’t collect cities.
Connect them.
