I thought Hongya Cave was already beautiful enough, until I went here

Don't just flock to Hongya Cave when you visit Chongqing, the Eighteen Ladder is really nice to stroll around and very Chongqing! It's even more charming at night, and I've put together a list of photo spots to share👇 【Photo Spot Sharing】 ✅Eighteen Ladder Night View Next to the window on the rooftop of Vienna Hotel at Eighteen Ladder, overlooking the entire panorama of Eighteen Ladder, it's just as good as Hongya Cave ✅Eighteen Ladder Lai De Kuai The Chongqing national brand has already entered the next level! It has become a landmark photo spot at Eighteen Ladder, the lettered road on the ground and Factory No.2 are very similar, the interior is Chinese fashion style, super nice for photos, in addition to the must-eat wolf-tooth potatoes every time, their new products are also amazing! ✅Eighteen Ladder Night View Below Tim’s Coffee, the unique Chongqing cave, looking out are the layered mountain cliffs and stilted buildings ✅Eighteen Ladder Night View From the window of the teahouse in Building A5, a classic photo spot of Eighteen Ladder ✅Yu Danfeng Silver Building It's not an AI-like scene that really exists, it's a shop that sells gold and silver jewelry, the big dragon at the door is very sci-fi for photos, and the water mist is real ✅Alley near Building C3 Saw lots of lanterns and small umbrellas, the unique layering of Chongqing, can capture the tall buildings of Sun Moon Light behind, a sense of time travel between ancient and modern

Shibati

Step into Chongqing’s Urban Maze at Shibati! 🏙️🏮 Welcome to Shibati, where old Chongqing unfolds in a jumble of twisting stairways, vintage facades, and hidden alleyways—perfect for urban explorers and history lovers alike. Feel the pulse of the city’s past as you climb shaded steps and discover remnants of everyday life tucked behind weathered doors. Recommended Route/Itinerary: Start at the base of Shibati (Shi Ba Ti, Yuzhong Qu) and ascend slowly—there’s no rush here. Navigate the tiers of stone steps lined with local cafés, noodle stalls, and humble convenience shops. Look for antique wooden balconies and original murals that reveal local stories. Must-Do Activities: Try street food from local vendors (think spicy noodles and sticky rice cakes) and pause at community courtyards to watch card games or impromptu chats among neighbors. Don’t miss the chance to peek into tiny teahouses hidden behind simple doors. Top Insta-Worthy Photo Spots: Snap the main stairway at dawn or dusk for cinematic light filtering through laundry and lanterns. Capture wide shots of old brickwork gradually blending into modern skyscrapers above—a tribute to Chongqing’s unique multilayered cityscape. Practical Visiting Tips: Wear sturdy shoes—the steps can be steep and the ground uneven. Avoid busy weekends if you want more quiet moments. Early mornings are best for fewer crowds and softer light. With easy access and open hours all day year-round, you’re free to roam as long as your legs allow! Key Precautions: Slippery steps in humid or rainy weather—take care and hold the rails. Some alleys are very narrow; keep an eye on your valuables in crowded areas. #Chongqing #Shibati #UrbanExploration #ChinaTravel #HistoricStreets

Perfect for people-watching, luxe shopping, and sampling spicy street eats. Three Natural Bridges (Wulong County, 08:30-17:00, entry ¥155) – Insane UNESCO karst formations! It’s about 20km southeast of Wulong County, and the dramatic stone arches, sinkholes, and caves are worth every step. Chongqing Zoo (No. 1 West Village, Jiulongpo, admission ¥25, open most days 07:30-16:30/18:00) – Must-see for panda lovers! Arrive early to catch them at their most active, plus red pandas, giant turtles, and more.

Longmenhao Old Street (105 Nanbin Road, open all day) – Stroll riverside past Qing Dynasty houses and quirky cafes. Sweet spot for sunset snaps. Hongya Cave – Insta-famous for neon-lit stilt houses over the river. Go at dusk for the best photos and street food. Liziba Station – Don’t skip this iconic light rail station where the train literally glides through a building. You can get epic vids from the street deck below! Wulong Karst Geological Park – If you love the outdoors, spend a day hiking deep gorges, caves, and waterfalls. Combine this with the Three Natural Bridges to maximize your nature fix. Getting Around: Use Chongqing’s efficient subway (Line 1/2/3 covers most sights). Taxis are cheap—just screenshot Chinese addresses from above. Food: Don’t leave without trying hot pot (look for spots along Nanbin Rd), and snack on spicy noodles at Shibati. Tips: Plan outdoor adventures early in the day for cooler weather—Chongqing can get HOT! #ChongqingViews #KarstAdventure #ChinaTravel #HotPotHeaven
