[2025 Chongqing Attraction] Travel Guide for Three Gorges Plaza (Updated Jun)

OMG! My best friend is so good at finding food. There is actually such a hidden Thai restaurant in Three Gorges Plaza. It is very cost-effective and the taste is super authentic! The store is filled with rich Thai style, and the decoration is full of Southeast Asian characteristics, with wooden tables and chairs, special ornaments, and soothing Thai music echoing in the ears, as if you have instantly moved to the streets of Thailand. I highly recommend their Singapore Bak Kut Teh. As soon as it is served, the aroma hits your nose. The ribs are stewed until they are soft and tasty. The meat and bones separate with a light bite. The soup is rich and fragrant. One sip of it is so delicious that it makes your eyebrows drop. Pair it with a serving of Singapore Hainanese Chicken Rice. The chicken has smooth skin and tender meat, and is paired with a special dipping sauce that is refreshing and not greasy. Of course, Thai food is inseparable from special drinks. I ordered coconut milk and lemon tea. The sweetness of coconut milk and the freshness of lemon are perfectly combined. I can feel the strong Southeast Asian style in every sip. The key is that the average price per person in this store is only around 50! It is only a five-minute walk from Jinsha Paradise Walk, and the surrounding transportation is super convenient. Tourist attractions such as Gele Mountain and Ciqikou are also nearby. Whether you are visiting attractions or shopping, it is such a blessing to come here to have a Thai meal! #10,000 reasons to love spring #A spring trip #Thai food #Recommendations from Chongqing locals #Eat, drink and have fun in Chongqing #Chongqing travel #Shapingba

Returning to the place where I went to college, it was filled with memories and the past. The changes here are huge, yet not huge. What remains unchanged are the triangular monument at the roundabout, the queue of taxis 🚕, the food stalls full of delicious food, and the Blue Sky Opera House where I once watched performances. There are many changes, such as the Lover's Bridge in the square, which is now full of cherry blossoms 🌸, and we have grown up. Since we can’t go back, let’s take a set of nostalgic Hong Kong style photos with friends 📷 as souvenirs! ✨ Check-in spot📷: triangular monument + taxi stand: easily capture the retro Hong Kong style; the cherry blossoms🌸 on the Lover's Bridge and the mottled light and shadow under the big yellow poplar tree; the stairs of Huayu Sunken Plaza; the old building exterior wall of the Blue Sky Opera House; the stone tablet with inscriptions in Three Gorges Square; the retro signs and neon lights of Huayu Plaza.

I've really been won over by "Yu Huanxi Hotpot" recently! 😋 The soup base here is made with pure hand-fried ingredients, and the spicy aroma is super strong. As soon as it's served, you can smell the authentic Chongqing flavor. It's amazing! 🔥 The prices are really cheap, with dishes starting at just RMB 0.5 and the most expensive dish costing no more than RMB 19.8. You can order whatever you want without breaking the bank. The average price per person is less than RMB 50! This is in Sanxia Square, Shapingba, and the cost performance is really great! 💰 The classic must-order dishes like tripe, duck blood, yellow throat, and spicy beef are a given, but even the vegetarian dishes are super filling! The restaurant has a very down-to-earth atmosphere, making it the best choice for hotpot. You won't be disappointed! 🌶️

Three Gorges Square is located at the foot of Gele Mountain and is a large urban square that integrates trade, culture, landscape, and leisure. It is divided into four parts: the Green Art Park, the Commercial Cultural Street, the Celebrity Sculpture Park, and the Three Gorges Landscape Park, with the latter being the core part of the square. It encapsulates the majestic view of the Three Gorges Dam and displays the beautiful scenery of the Three Gorges Reservoir area. Every attraction here is poetry, painting, and melodious ballads. The rolling Yangtze River water thunders down from the spillway dam, with waves crashing against the shore, unstoppable. At this moment, we will not forget that at 10 am on December 14, 1994, the commencement of the Three Gorges Project was announced, shaking the whole world and earning cheers! On the stone wall to the left of the Landscape Park, the 'Ode to Three Gorges Square' describes the spectacular view of the square and expresses the tremendous changes that have taken place today. As the ode says, 'This is truly a square, bustling with activity, shoulder to shoulder. Though man-made, it rivals the work of heaven...' On the stone wall to the right of the Landscape Park, a bas-relief titled 'Three Gorges Journey' uses the freehand brushwork technique of Chinese painting. With simple and smooth lines, it depicts the scenery of the Three Gorges on both sides of the river. In addition, there are other parts such as the Celebrity Sculpture Park, Green Art Park, and Commercial Cultural Street. The design of Three Gorges Square is innovative, humanized, and themed around culture and greening. The construction of Three Gorges Square not only provides a great place for people's leisure, amusement, and shopping but also adds a beautiful landscape to Chongqing, a city famous for its history and culture. Therefore, on holidays, the Three Gorges Square in Chongqing is crowded and extraordinarily lively. 🌈Estimated time for visit: 1-2 hours. ⛺️Admission: Free. 📮Location: Near the Qunwen Building of Shapingba District Cultural Center, No. 83 Xiaoxin Street, Shapingba District, Chongqing. 🚗Transportation guide: Take bus 0492 night line; 220; 220 interval; 237; 248; 260; 462; 501 night line; 805; 806; 843 to Shapingba Sanjiaobei (bus station), and walk to reach.
