Chongqing is a vertical city grown between mountains and rivers, where monorail trains pierce buildings and staircases climb to the sky, and the scent of hotpot drifts from bomb shelters. From March to May and September to November the fog clears and skies brighten, which is best for clambering up its slopes.
Common questions before you go
March to May and September to November are best, with comfortable temperatures and little fog. Midsummer hits 40 degrees C and is stifling; winter is smoggy, damp and cold.
One day at Hongyadong and Jiefangbei, one at Liziba and Ciqikou, one at Wulong's Natural Three Bridges, and the rest on the Yangtze cable car and night views. The monorail is the most magical ride.
Hongyadong, Nanbin Road and Yihuali Night Park are all great. For a full-city panorama, head to One Tree on Nanshan or Qiansimen Bridge, where the two rivers meet most dramatically.
