Mountain City Trail: Understanding Old Chongqing Between Steps

Mountain City Trail: Understanding Old Chongqing Between Steps

Chongqing is built on mountains, with trails connecting the upper and lower parts of the city. The third suspended plank road is the best route to experience the old Chongqing city and see the river.

Chongqing is a three-dimensional city, and walking trails are the best way to understand it - walking up and down the stone steps, one can see the texture of old Chongqing in full view.

Recommendation: Mountain City Third Trail

  • Starting from Zhongxing Road/Shancheng Lane, follow the suspended boardwalk along the cliff to view the river, and connect to Consul Lane and Tongyuan Gate.
  • The boardwalk is built on cliffs, with one side featuring old city walls and stilted houses, and the other side offering a river view, exuding a strong mountain city flavor.

Highlight

  • Old city walls, Ming and Qing style residences, street tea houses, and handmade shops.
  • Can connectHuguang Guild Hall(Ming and Qing dynasty guild hall architecture) and Eighteen Stairs (old street renovation).

Tip:

  • Wear comfortable non slip shoes and act within your means - there are many and steep steps.
  • Cool in the morning or evening, with better physical sensation.
  • Bring water, there are not many supply points along the way.

Avoiding pitfalls

Some sections have steep slopes and no elevators; It is inconvenient to push strollers/wheelchairs. It is recommended to take the flat Jiangbin (Nanbin Road/Beibin Road) instead.
