The Chongqing Two Rivers Cruise is an absolute must-do, and the VIP ticket is worth every penny. We were treated to complimentary fresh fruits, small cakes, snacks, water, and tea, which was a lovely touch.The biggest advantage was the exclusive VIP access to the front and back decks of the ship. These areas provided breathtaking, unobstructed views of the magical city skyline, allowing for perfect photos without the crowds.I took the first evening cruise around 7:20 PM, and it was pleasantly uncrowded. However, when we returned to the pier, the waiting line was huge. To avoid long waits, definitely aim for the first or an early departure. The schedule seems flexible; boats just depart as they fill up after the first run. This was the perfect way to see Chongqing's spectacular lights. Highly recommended!
