Chongqing's night view is dazzling, a must-see when you visit

Jiangbeizui Riverside Park | The visual feast of Hongyadong is truly amazing! ✨ Getting to Riverside Park is super convenient! Take Line 6 to Grand Theatre Station, Exit 3 🚇, then walk ten minutes along the city wall ruins~🚶‍♀️ Want to blow up your social media? Remember these tips! 📸 Step back a bit from the riverside stone beach to capture Hongyadong “floating” on the river + the red band of Qiansimen Bridge, the river reflections are stunning 🌊; The red bridge reflection at Sandong Bridge Riverside with the cobblestone walkway makes every shot Instagram-worthy 📸; The city wall viewing platform offers a 270° view, with light rail passing through the bridge 🚇, boats crossing the river ⛴️, and the beautiful scenery of Hongyadong all in one frame, like a movie scene! 🎬 Secret tip: Evening to night is the blue hour 🌌, perfect for shooting backlit silhouettes with great atmosphere, bring a transparent umbrella for even better shots~☂️ Qiansimen Bridge | The mountain city's aerial wonder spoils fans! 💕 The night view of Qiansimen Bridge is super romantic! The orange-red bridge body looks like a giant dragon 🐉, lights up on time at dusk 💡, and on holidays, the bridge is closed to traffic and turned into a pedestrian viewing platform, really thoughtful for tourists~🥰 Getting on the bridge is super easy: From Yuzhong District: Xiaoshizi Station Exit 9 🚇 → Hongyadong 11th floor 🏬 → walk down two minutes to the bridgehead; From Jiangbei District: Grand Theatre Station Exit 5 🚇 → walk a few minutes directly onto the bridge, no detours~🚶 Photo tips: Use a telephoto lens at the middle of the bridge to capture Hongyadong, the tower, and boats in one frame 📷; the lower walkway catches the light and shadow of the light rail passing through the bridge, giving photos a storytelling vibe~✨ Raffles City | Missing the night view feast will be regretted! 😱 The night view at Raffles City is stunning, remember these two best shooting spots: Chaotianmen Square offers a full panoramic view, with the “golden light piercing the building” phenomenon at dusk ✨, be sure to reserve your spot early 💺; Riverside Park uses the Qiansimen light band as the foreground 💡, let your friends walk slowly for candid shots, blending people and scenery perfectly~👭 Outfit advice: Wear white or beige dresses 👗, they look soft and “glow” under the lights 💫, avoid black as it blends into the night view easily~❌ Three treasure routes | Meeting different needs! 🗺️ Power walkers (3-hour deep tour) ⚡: Grand Theatre Station → Riverside Park for photos → Qiansimen Bridge for views → Hongyadong → Chaotianmen → Jiefangbei, covering all highlights fully 💪; Photographers (2-hour shoot route) 📸: Grand Theatre Station → Sandong Bridge Riverside for Instagram-style shots → telephoto shots at the middle of the bridge → Chaotianmen for backlit portraits → Nanbin Road for extra river views, maxing out your material 📱; Leisure seekers (1.5-hour light experience) ☕: Xiaoshizi Station → Hongyadong → Qiansimen Bridge to feel the river breeze 🌬️ → Riverside Park for night views, relaxed and pleasant~😌 Avoid pitfalls | Pay attention to these details! ⚠️ Don’t park at Hongyadong B2 on holidays 🅿️, parking at Grand Theatre garage is more convenient; Ignore “10 yuan guides”! ❌ The bridge is free, just follow the signs 🪧; Be sure to wear flat shoes! 👟 The walking distance on the bridge is not short, high heels will be tiring 👠; Use a fill light when shooting backlit portraits 💡, otherwise faces tend to turn into dark silhouettes~🖤
