[2025 Chongqing Attraction] Travel Guide for Chongqing Eye Observatory (Updated May)

| Visit These Places Before Leaving Manhattan. Chongqing Citywalk | Visit These Places Before Leaving Manhattan Chongqing is more than Jiefangbei, and Jiefangbei is more than Hongya Cave. Many people choose to visit Hongya Cave when traveling to Chongqing. However, there are many other great places to visit in Chongqing. Here is a Citywalk route for you. The culture and magic of Chongqing are all here! Go for a walk and unlock a different Manhattan in Chongqing. Route overview: Shancheng Trail > Shibati > Kaixuan Road > Cultural Street > Jiefang East Road > Baixiang Street > Jiefang East Road > Huguang Guild Hall > Shaanxi Road > Raffles City Crystal Corridor > Zhaoqian Road > Xinhua Road > Eye of the Cloud > Xinhua Road > The Westin Chongqing Liberation Square > Zhengyang Street > Wusi Road Pedestrian Street > WFC Huixian Building > Qingnian Road > Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street Route length: about 7 km Route duration: about 6–7 hours (including photo taking) 1️⃣ Shibati Admission: Free Recommended visit duration: 1 hour As a microcosm of old Chongqing, this place is full of the hustle and bustle of life. It is also a relatively niche photo spot in Chongqing. 2️⃣ Baixiang Street Admission: Free Recommended visit duration: 0.5 hours A whole street of retro-style buildings from the Republic of China era is a great place for photos! The retro and modern styles are intertwined here, creating a strong sense of contrast. 3️⃣ Huguang Guild Hall Admission: CNY 25/person Recommended visit duration: 0.5–1 hour The yellow walls and black tiles are very photogenic. I personally suggest not buying a ticket. Go directly to Dongshuimen Bridge next to it and take a bird's-eye view of the whole building complex. 4️⃣ Raffles City Crystal Corridor Admission: CNY 120/person Recommended visit duration: 1 hour Overlooking the confluence of the two rivers and the mountain cityscape of Chongqing from the sky at 250 meters above the ground. Experience the magic of 8D Chongqing. Not recommended for those with a fear of heights. 5️⃣ Eye of the Cloud Admission: CNY 68/person Recommended visit duration: 0.5 hours Red steps + 360-degree unobstructed view = great photos, but the queue is a bit long, and the time for taking photos at night is limited. 6️⃣ The Westin Recommended visit duration: 0.5–1 hour The 52nd to 56th floors are open to the public for free. The 52nd floor is mainly for viewing buildings. The 53rd floor is a fully transparent glass restaurant in the sky. The 54th floor is a popular infinity pool. 7️⃣ WFC Huixian Building Admission: CNY 110/person Recommended visit duration: 1 hour Take the elevator directly to the 70th floor, then transfer to the 73rd floor. There are photo spots from the 73rd to 75th floors. The view is unobstructed, and you can see many landmark buildings!

When traveling to Chongqing, you will only spend money on food, accommodation and transportation, as many attractions are free. For example, Raffles is actually a comprehensive shopping mall. Because of its unique appearance, it has become one of the landmark buildings in Chongqing.

#SkylineView Chongqing Eye in the Clouds, standing here you can have a 360-degree panoramic view of Chongqing Forest and the scenery of the two rivers and four banks. The visual effect is very shocking. It is a holy place for climbing high and looking far. I stood on it and watched for a long time, quietly enjoying the city scenery. There are many people on the observation deck, but you can walk around and take pictures freely. It is not crowded, probably because it avoids holidays. 📷Photography tips: 🌆You can take photos of the landscape at will, but if you want to take selfies🤳, there are free photo shoots for every tourist. You can stand next to the landmark and take photos. After taking the photos, you can go down and see the printed photos. If you want, it is about 20 photos.

Perched atop the 73rd floor of Chongqing World Financial Center at an altitude of 520 meters, the Eye in the Sky redefines the mountain city's skyline. Its iconic all-glass cantilevered platform extends like a crystal matrix from the main structure, offering breathtaking views of the confluence of the Jialing River and Yangtze River below, along with the intricate network of overpasses.

This time we stayed in the #YIAN Yi'an High-altitude River View Hotel, located on the 65th-66th floors of the United International Building in Jiefangbei, in the Sky Dome High-altitude River View King Room. This hotel cleverly uses technology to redefine the mountain city accommodation experience. As soon as you open the door, you will be shocked by the 180-degree view of the Yangtze River through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. The Qiansimen Bridge and the Yangtze River Cableway are spread out at your feet. You can fall asleep to the sound of the river at night and be awakened by the first ray of sunshine in the morning. The most important thing is that there is no extra charge, and the scenery is comparable to the Eye in the Clouds👍 Cyber ​​Tech can be seen everywhere in the guest rooms: 🔘 Voice-controlled intelligent system: Just say "Xiaodu, Xiaodu, turn on the light" to light up the room, the curtains open and close automatically, and wake-up calls are no problem either 🚽 Smart toilet: automatic sensing, warm water to wash your body, clean and neat. 🔌 USB socket: At the bedside, say goodbye to the battle for chargers 📺 Huge projection screen: can be directly connected to Android and Apple mobile phones for playback, simple and convenient 🪥Personal care products: toothbrush sets and other items are available, as well as disposable bathtub bags. (You can call the front desk to install the bathtub) 🚿Powerful shower: Rain shower, portable shower and waterfall shower, very healing 🧴Shower liquid: Bottled green tea-flavored shower liquid, shampoo and conditioner, leaving you with a fresh and fragrant smell after washing 🍵The mini bar is stocked with bottled water, black tea and white tea bags, as well as a kettle and cups ❗️Minor flaws: 🚽Late at night, the sound of flushing can be heard from time to time! Turn off auto-sensing. 🧥There are enough hangers, but the height of the clothes rack is a little too low, which can easily hit the wheels of the suitcase (26 inches) 🛗The lift in United International Building is not undergoing emergency maintenance, please allow enough time to queue up before leaving. 📍Address: YIAN High-altitude River View Hotel (Chongqing Jiefangbei Cloud Eye Branch) 65th Floor, United International Building, No. 201 Xinhua Road, Yuzhong District, Chongqing 💰April Sky Dome High-altitude River View King Room Price: HK$ 525 including tax #Chongqing Sky Hotel #Smart Accommodation #Eye in the Clouds #Accommodation Recommendations #Chongqing Hotels #Chongqing #Chongqing Travel #YIANYi'an High-altitude River View Hotel

#ChinaTravelMoment #2024WishEvent #ChinaTravel Chongqing Cloud Observatory is a place that feels like it's floating above the city, just like its name suggests. The cityscape between the tall buildings is incredibly wide, and you can immediately feel how three-dimensional and bustling the city of Chongqing is. The night view is beautiful, but it's also great during the day or at sunset. When you go to the observatory, there are always one or two local photographers standing there taking pictures. They take pictures right away and send them via Airdrop or WeChat, and for about 10-20 yuan, they'll take one or two shots. The results are definitely much better than a regular phone. However, the style emphasizes the background much more than the person, so it's suitable for when you want to take a picture with a 'nice background' rather than a 'pretty face'. The camera lens is also set to wide angle, and the background is sharp and magnificent, and the person is relatively small. So if you wear neat clothes and strike a pose, you can get at least one shot with a good atmosphere. Some people even brought lighting equipment and reflectors, so there were cases where they took pictures quite professionally. When you take selfies with your phone, the structure of the building is often not captured, and it is easy to end up with an awkward composition, but these photographers are definitely aware of this, so the background is beautifully alive. It is not a huge burden, so it is worth taking one picture as a souvenir. If you want to capture the scale of the city of Chongqing in a photo, I recommend giving it a try!

"Meet in the shelter, have a coffee, and listen to the owner play a piano piece." There's a cafe called "Shelter Insight" located in an air raid shelter beneath the mountain city trails. You really have to admire the laid-back attitude of the Sichuan and Chongqing people; they can have fun anywhere. I enjoyed two coffees, a small cake, and listened to the owner play the piano in their spare time. It was strangely therapeutic in such a small space. 🪑The shop is tiny, with only two small tables, a piano, and a mirror. This setup makes for great photos in the limited space. There are many tables outside in the air raid shelter, but it can be a bit dusty, so I recommend sitting inside if you're eating. The owner is very easygoing, an introvert who's trying their best to be extroverted for the business, haha. When it's not busy, the owner will play a tune on the piano, which creates a unique atmosphere. Drinking coffee and listening to piano music in an air raid shelter is a contrasting experience, but I loved it; it was very therapeutic. ☕️I tried the Ink Wash Latte and the Grape Sparkling Americano. The Ink Wash Latte is more photogenic, but the milk flavor is strong, and the coffee flavor is a bit weak, not suitable for someone like me who usually prefers Americanos. Latte lovers might enjoy it. But the Grape Sparkling Americano was perfect for me! The grape sparkling water and Americano flavors blend well, offering both the refreshing taste of sparkling water and the rich aroma of Americano. This one is definitely worth trying❗️ 🍰For dessert, I had the original Basque cheesecake. It was average, definitely not comparable to what you'd find in a dedicated dessert shop. It wasn't very sweet, which suited my preference for less sugar, but the texture wasn't very smooth. I'm not sure how the other desserts are. Overall, it's a unique little shop. When it's not crowded, it's a special experience to have a coffee, read a book, or listen to the owner play the piano.

We went there around 4plus on a Friday and it was not crowded. There was ample space and time for you to take nice photos. There were also photographers there to take pretty photos for you with a fee of course. If you have nothing to do, you can come and visit this place. #旅行酷体验 #景点拍照指南 #view #china #chongqing #phototaking #holiday #topview #placesofinterest
