Known for its "three-dimensional aerial pedestrian street," this attraction offers breathtaking night views, featuring traditional Diaojiaolou buildings, Tujia ethnic architecture, and antique-style commercial streets like Zhiyanhe Bar Street and Tiancheng Lane, where visitors can immerse themselves in Bayu culture, shopping, and street food. A perfect blend of history, tradition, and modern vibrance, Hongya Cave is an unmissable highlight of Chongqing’s skyline. After your tour, you’ll be transferred to your hotel, allowing you plenty of time to unwind and prepare for the adventures ahead.The Dazu Rock Carvings
2 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedAfter breakfast, begin your day by visiting the Dazu Rock Carvings, an extraordinary site and the real-life inspiration for the black myth: Wukong. As the largest grotto complex in southern China, the Dazu Rock Carvings date back to the late Tang dynasty (618–907) and early Song dynasty (960–1127). Renowned for its exquisite stone carvings, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a true masterpiece of Buddhist and Taoist art. Among the five cave groups, the Baodingshan Rock Carvings stand out, featuring the famous “Three-Dimensional Picture of the River During the Qingming Festival”, which vividly captures the market life of the Southern Song Dynasty. As you explore the site, you’ll encounter not only intricate carvings but also the atmosphere of ancient local life, blending history and art.Baodingshan
2 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedA green bus will take you directly to Baodingshan, where mountain cliffs are adorned with thousands of statues of Buddha, Taoist figures, and notable personalities from the late Tang Dynasty. The Dafowan Cliff, spanning 500 meters, is home to around 10,000 Buddha statues, each contributing to a narrative mural that offers a glimpse into ancient China’s rich cultural tapestry. You’ll have the freedom to wander at your own pace, fully immersing yourself in the precious grotto art.Chongqing

The unique street layout, built into the mountainside, combines traditional Ba Yu culture with a modern, retro vibe, making it a popular spot for photos and exploring local culture.
