01The 8D City Experience
Walk the city. Don’t just photograph it.
Forget the map. In Chongqing, the street above you might be another street altogether. Move through stairways, bridges, hillside lanes and elevated neighborhoods, taking in the city from the ground up — one unexpected level at a time.
Get lost in the layers. Find the real Chongqing.
02Chongqing After Dark
Discover the city at its most cinematic.
As night falls, Chongqing transforms. Follow the rivers as they reflect the city lights, cross bridges suspended above the skyline, and climb to viewpoints where the mountains, towers and neon unfold in every direction.
When night falls, Chongqing becomes the spectacle.
03A Private Chongqing Hotpot Experience
More than a meal.
Sit down, order boldly, and discover the fiery world of Chongqing hotpot with a local perspective. From choosing the right broth and learning how to order like a local, to dipping, sharing and navigating the perfect balance of spice and flavour, we’ll guide you through the rituals behind one of China’s most iconic meals.
This is Chongqing at its most social, spontaneous, and unapologetically local.
