#Shibati Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Featured Neighborhoods
Address:
Shi Ba Ti, Yuzhong Qu, Chongqing Shi, China
Opening times:
Open year round, 24/7Open
Recommended sightseeing time:
2-3 hours
Checked in at the old streets of Chongqing, every nook and cranny!
It's the last day, and there's no time to visit many attractions, so I went to a few of the most recommended old streets to wander around.
Then I went to the river beach to take night photos.
I squatted all night for a few pictures.
The noodles for breakfast were delicious, the mixed bean noodles were amazing, and the dinner skewers were only a little over ninety yuan for two people, which is really cost-effective.
However, some things tasted a bit strong.
For example, the taste of pork intestines and the fishy smell of shrimp, but the rest was fine, and the drinks were very tasty.
I have to retreat tomorrow.
I'll come back to the remaining places if I get the chance.

Chongqing One-Day Tour
Chongqing: Punch-In Style Travel (Two Days)
Hard seat for ten hours, arrived at 5.2 noon, then went straight to sightseeing without rest (because the hotel I stayed at was not very convenient for transportation, a bit far from the downtown area).
5.2 afternoon Liberation Monument → Guanyin Bridge → Eighteen Stairs → Hongya Cave (so crowded, couldn't really see anything)
5.3 Zoo → Liziba → Ciqikou
p5 First time trying Chayanyuese tea, hehe it's tasty and I love it
p6p7 Only briefly walked a bit of the Eighteen Stairs, didn't explore the whole area, regrettable p8 The zoo was the right choice, definitely worth a visit, full of emotional value
Personal experience and lessons: Accommodation must be chosen close to the subway entrance (it's convenient to take the subway in Chongqing, with extensive coverage); as for food, everyone has their own taste, I don't dare to comment randomly, I personally find it okay, mainly trying out new things; the weather is not cold, but it depends on the individual, some people are cold-sensitive (short sleeves + light jacket), it's also fine to wear skirts and short sleeves directly.
Conclusion: The short time spent sightseeing is really not because I don't want to, but because of limited holiday time! In my view, Chongqing has a sense of technology + cyberpunk style (truly a personal feeling), with a strong sense of gradient layers, giving me a unique experience, definitely worth spending more time to experience and see. I love Chongqing, Chongqing, we will meet again.

Missing you, the wind has blown to Chongqing~
🛏【️Travel Guide】
📍How to stay: It is recommended to stay in Jiefangbei, Hongyadong, Guanyinqiao
🚗Special transportation: Chongqing Changjiang Cableway is 1166 meters long, connecting Chongqing's Yuzhong District and Nan'an District, with a running time of 4 minutes
Operating hours: 7:30-22:30
Ticket price: one-way 20 yuan, round trip 30 yuan
Riding address: Chang'an Temple, 153 Xinhua Road, Yuzhong District, Shangxin Street, Longmen Road, Nan'an District
A transportation tool with regional characteristics, with a wide coverage, many scenic spots can be reached by taking rail transit. (Ps: There is a one-way ticket sales point at each station, it is recommended that everyone prepare more small bills, if necessary, you can also apply for a bus one card)
Chongqing Caiyuanba Railway Station, one of Chongqing's characteristic transportation
Location: Take Metro Line 1, Line 3 to Lianglukou and go down to Caiyuanba
Ticket: one-way 2 yuan/person
Opening hours: 07:00-22:00
Light rail: Line 1, Line 3, get off at Lianglukou, and then take the Crown Escalator.
🌟Highlight Scenic Area:
1、Hongyadong
Hongyadong is a good place to stroll through the old streets of the mountain city, enjoy the scenery of the two rivers, and taste local food
Transportation: Walkable from Jiefangbei, take Line 2 to Linjiangmen Station and walk there, with the most traditional Bayu architectural features of the stilt building as the main body, according to the mountain situation, the lights are bright at night, it can be described as a scene of the mountain city. There are 11 floors from the bottom to the top, and the functions of each floor are different. The top floor is the exotic city balcony, where you can overlook the river view and the scenery is excellent.
2、Jiefangbei
When you come to Chongqing, you still have to go to the landmark building to check in first!
Transportation: Take Line 1 and get off at Jiaochangkou, Xiaoshizi Station
Jiefangbei is one of the landmarks of Chongqing and a historical witness to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and the liberation of Chongqing. The crossroads centered on Jiefangbei radiates east, west, south, and north pedestrian streets, which is the most prosperous commercial circle in Chongqing.
3、Ciqikou
Complete ancient buildings and the rich and simple ancient style that has not changed for thousands of years, it is also a microcosm and symbol of Chongqing.
Transportation: Get off at Ciqikou Station on Light Rail Line 1 and walk there
Although Ciqikou is a thousand-year-old town, the commercial atmosphere is still very strong, but when you come to Chongqing, you still have to go to Ciqikou for a stroll, eat some snacks, buy some special products, and take a few professional tourist photos to prove that you have been to Ciqikou.
4、Xia Hao Old Street
This is the street where you can feel the old Chongqing fireworks the most
Transportation: Take Metro Line 1 to Shangxin Street, and walk to a block on a slope next to Dongshuimen Yangtze River Bridge
The remaining fragments of this old street in Chongqing may disappear completely in the near future. Old Chongqing is cooking with fire, and the smoke is like a world away. The faint human voice in the corridor under the mottled tree shadow, so interested friends must catch a glimpse of the old street before the demolition.
❤Food Recommendation
The mountains and waters of the mountain city are beautiful, and the food is also irresistible. Chongqing not only has spicy and stimulating hot pot, but also refreshing tofu rice, and spicy but not dry, glutinous and tender red soup medicinal chicken.
The porridge in the early morning warms the stomach, but Chongqing people love to wake up the taste buds with spicy dumplings. The classic old brand Wu Dumplings is an important card of Chongqing snacks. It is said that the skill of making dumplings has been handed down from the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. The flour is the best, and the filling is also carefully selected and specially made. There are many types and the taste is even more indescribable. Many of the customers who come to the store are old customers, who miss this old formula that retains the authentic fresh taste.
At noon, the spiciness is upgraded, and the appetite is opened with "spicy". If you come to Chongqing from a long distance, you must not miss the spicy chicken and ancient town chicken miscellaneous. No matter which store, the chicken dices and chicken miscellaneous are very generous. For the first time, I feel that it is so easy to find meat in a pile of peppers!
In the evening, you have to rub a hot pot. If you want to eat the classic old taste of Chongqing, I recommend Mangzi Old Hot Pot. The red soup pot bottom must be ordered. When the red oil on the surface is swept away, a strong spicy aroma hits your face, and the heat spreads from the stomach to the whole body. It's just a word for comfort. The grilled fish party can rest assured to rush to the "unique rush grilled fish", the open-air ground under the canopy is very characteristic, the fish is grilled with natural charcoal, retaining the most original flavor.
The summary of the strategy is these, I hope it can help you

EVA GUZMAN
Chongqing Babysitter-level Travel Guide (Suitable for Beginners)
🙋🏻♀️I traveled to Chongqing in mid-January, with a travel duration of one week, this guide combines personal experience.
❖ DAY1: High-speed train arrival——Hongya Cave in the evening——Qiansimen Bridge
❖ DAY2: Hongya Cave Pier——Ferry——Ciqikou
❖ DAY3: Dazu Baoding Mountain Rock Carvings——Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street in the evening
❖ DAY4: White Mansion/Zhazidong——Mountain City Trail——Eighteen Ladders
❖ DAY5: Return home from Jiangbei Airport
✈️Transportation:
The plane is at Jiangbei Airport, it is recommended to take the high-speed rail at Chongqing North Station. Online car-hailing is generally cheap. The starting price for taxis is 10 yuan. It is recommended to walk in the Jiefangbei Hongya Cave area in the city center, walking is faster than taking a taxi. Due to the terrain of Chongqing, vehicle travel may be a bit roundabout and traffic is heavy, traffic jams are common.
🏡Accommodation:
If you spend most or all of your time playing in Yuzhong District, it is recommended to stay near Jiefangbei Chaotianmen. I live near Chaotianmen Metro Station, which is convenient for transportation and can walk to Jiefangbei Hongya Cave and other downtown areas. If you live near Jiefangbei, the hotel is basically a commercial house renovation, there may be multiple hotels in one building, the elevator is crowded, the sound insulation effect is poor, and the infrastructure is old.
🎫Attraction tickets and reservation matters
(1) To Ciqikou Ferry, it departs on the hour. The single trip is 40r, the voyage is 1h, and you can buy tickets online for Chongqing Jiaoyun Liangjiang Tour or Jiaoyun Water Sightseeing (there is a free shuttle bus to the ancient town after getting off the boat)
(2) White Mansion tickets are free, but need to be reserved in advance
(3) It is recommended to buy tickets for Dazu Rock Carvings online, it is more cost-effective to buy a package, and it is recommended to take a sightseeing car in the scenic area. (For details, see the Dazu Rock Carvings Guide on the homepage)
🧢Items to bring and wear:
ID card, half-price or free ticket documents, umbrella.
Chongqing's winter is relatively humid and cold, with heavy fog, and cloudy and rainy days are the most common. The temperature is not too low, it is recommended to wear a coat, thin sweater, etc. The specific outfit depends on the weather forecast on the day of the trip.
🌶Specialties and food:
Specialties: Bridgehead, Mingyang and other hot pot base materials, Chen Chang Silver Twist, etc.
Food: Small noodles, mixed noodles, wontons, brown sugar rice cakes, various community old hot pots, etc.
🌸Other matters:
(1) If you want to taste Shuangliu Old Mother Rabbit Head in Jiefangbei, you can go and buy it. There is a Wang Su Sheng Mahjong Cake that is also quite delicious, but it is a bit expensive. The prices on the entire pedestrian street are almost the same, you can buy and taste appropriately.
(2) Hongya Cave is crowded at night, and the price for soliciting photos is basically 30r per photo (not necessary).
(3) You can use the online car-hailing software to carpool from the city to Dazu, which is cheaper per capita than cars and trains and saves time. It is cost-effective. It takes about two hours to get from Chaotianmen to Baoding Mountain. (Excluding peak traffic periods)
(4) Ciqikou Ancient Town is heavily commercialized, but there are many free tastings inside, and the girls are very enthusiastic, and there are many performances worth watching.
(5) It is recommended to go to Zhazidong first and then to the White Mansion. In this way, there are fewer uphill sections to walk, the straight-line distance is 1km, the actual walking time is 30 minutes, and there are a lot of uphill sections in the White Mansion, which is not recommended for the elderly and children.

National Day trip to Chongqing: Enjoy immersive night view at the Eighteen Ladders
If you come to Chongqing for the National Day holiday, you will just catch the 2nd anniversary of the opening of the Eighteen Ladders, with lots of fun and photogenic spots! Highly recommended to go and play!
After 2 years of meticulous polishing, the Eighteen Ladders is much more beautiful than when it first opened, especially its night view, which exudes prosperity, ancient style, and bustling atmosphere.
During the National Day holiday, the street is full of national style and Song Dynasty charm. The oil-paper umbrellas, lanterns, paper and ink characters overhead, and the anciently dressed women passing by, give people the illusion of traveling through the Qingming River Map.
In the dim light, the stilted buildings are staggered, the ups and downs of the bluestone steps are full of beautiful light and shadow, and the 'sky market' is the most appropriate description of it.
Find a teahouse, drink tea while watching people come and go, what a prosperous and prosperous Song Dynasty charm of Chongqing Eighteen Ladders!

Experience the night view of Shiba Ladder
Wish to stay in Chongqing for this world's galaxy.
Game Type: City Night View
Shiba Ladder Traditional Style Area:
After experiencing the crowded atmosphere of Shiba Ladder, why not step out, overlook this sloping, temperature-filled mountain city from a high position, it's not an exaggeration to say that it has the most beautiful city skyline.
Here, you can feel the combination of old Chongqing and new Chongqing. Walking on the road, listening to the white noise around, it's like experiencing a slow motion of a movie, half of the market, half of the literature and art, it's worth experiencing for the first time in Chongqing.

Experience the unique and magical scenery of the Magic City
⛰【Travel Guide】
📍Detailed address: Travel during May Day, the weather is quite hot, the taxis🚕 in Chongqing are very distinctive, yellow, it's actually more atmospheric to take photos when coming out of the airport terminal. If you want to take a full view of the Eighteen Ladders, it seems better to stay in the hotel opposite.
🚗Transportation Guide: Subway🚇 travel is the most convenient, most scenic spots can be reached, such as Ciqikou, Hongya Cave, etc., and it is not recommended to take a taxi, there are too many mountain roads, it looks very close but actually very far haha... Liziba subway station is now a popular tourist spot!
🕙Opening hours: Creative scenic spots, Ciqikou Ancient Town, Hongya Cave are all free, but it seems that Hongya Cave turns off the lights at 23:00.
💰Ticket price: Free
🌟Highlights: Stroll around, eat, take photos, you can do your homework in advance to find the best spots!
⏳Tour time: 2-4 days
📌Small Tips: Don't wear high heels

In the past, Chongqing 18 ladder
I hope to have a person like you,
such as the cool wind in the mountains,
such as the warm light of the ancient city,

Today, who passed you, who lost you?
The 18th ladder that was remembered by passing through your world, just in the place not far from Jiefangbei, was fortunate to have visited it once when it was demolished. Nowadays, I dont know What is it like...
