Chongqing 8D city walk: Liziba, Eling Park, Kuixing Lou and Hongya Cave at dusk

6.5 hoursPublic transportationPrivate tour for 1–5 peopleChongqing, Southwest ChinaModerate (stairs)

Chongqing is the one Chinese city you cannot understand from a map. Roads stack on roads, a 22nd floor is also a ground floor, and the monorail runs through an apartment block. This walk follows the vertical logic of the city from the river up to the ridge and back down to Hongya Cave as the lights come on.
