Activity itinerary

Chongqing (Pass by)

We offer two exclusive packages for your food and culture exploration, tailored to different schedules and preferences—helping you escape tourist crowds and dive into Chongqing’s soul with bold flavours, age-old culture, and vibrant local life in a 3–4 hour experience beyond typical sightseeing.

Jiefangbei Square

2h
Admission ticket included

Package 1: Evening Food Crawl Departure Time: 6:00 PM Highlights: Nighttime street food feast, hidden local gems, and Jiefangbei’s neon-lit vibe Kick off from Jiefangbei Central Business District, the 500-meter hub of Chongqing’s street food scene. Wander aromatic Bayi Road stalls with sizzling grills and steaming pots, take a comfortable break at a top-tier indoor food hall, then hunt for decades-old eateries at Jiaochangkou Night Market. Savour tangy hot and sour noodles, chewy brown sugar glutinous rice balls, savoury salted duck, juicy braised pork buns, spicy crispy potato sticks, tender stewed chicken claws, and classic Chongqing noodles, washed down with refreshing yoghurt drinks. Immerse yourself in Jiefangbei’s electric night atmosphere, where traditional stalls stand side by side with modern boutiques, as neon lights flicker and streets buzz with diners.

Shibadi

1h

Package 2: Daytime mountain city stroll Departure Time: 2:00 PM Highlights: Downhill scenic walk, cultural landmarks, 15+ local flavours, and relaxed mountain city vibes This easy downhill tour winds from Shancheng Lane to Shibati, minimising fatigue while maximising mountainscape charm and hidden culinary finds, with plenty of photo ops. Start at Shancheng Lane, a nostalgic spot with traditional courtyard houses and a cliffside plank road offering sweeping Yangtze River and bridge views, framed by vine-draped ancient walls. Pause at Shancheng Time Library and Ren’ai Tang ruins to browse bookshops, relax in teahouses, and explore cultural exhibitions.

Tongyuan Gate Park

1h

Visit Tongyuan Gate—the only well-preserved Ming Dynasty land gate—climb its historic walls, then wander Gulou Lane’s quiet alleys before reaching Shibati’s zigzag stone staircase with traditional architecture. Stop by Shibati Grand Tunnel Memorial Hall (free entry) to learn about the city’s wartime history and air-raid shelter stories. Indulge in 15+ curated local tastes (customisable via your guide): mildly spicy shredded chicken tofu pudding, sweet osmanthus cakes, rose-filled glutinous rice balls, and crispy traditional rice cakes. For a heartier bite, choose between cliffside Zai Yu Li Hot Pot with panoramic river views or cosy Jiaodian Nine-Grid Hot Pot for an authentic no-frills experience; opt for classic Chongqing noodles if hot pot feels too heavy. Cap off the tour with jasmine tea at a local teahouse, soaking in the laid-back mountain city ambiance.
