Chongqing E’ling No.2 Factory Travel Guide

Comprehensive Chongqing E’ling No.2 Factory Travel Guide🔥 Even beginners can easily explore it! 📍 Basic Information (No detours!) Tickets: The park is free to enter! ⚠️ Zhang Yibai Studio, some exhibitions, and the popular rooftop have separate charges (for example, the Cloud Rooftop costs about 20 yuan, but the regular viewing platform also offers city views, so no need to pay extra unnecessarily). Opening Hours: The park is open all day, most shops open from 10:00 to 22:00, and the rooftop stops admitting visitors at 19:30, so don’t go too late! Duration: Quick visit takes 1.5 hours, in-depth exploration and photos take 2-3 hours, visiting nearby attractions (E’ling Park, Liziba) requires 3-4 hours. 🚗 What’s the most convenient way to get there? Subway preferred: Line 1, E’ling Station Exit 2A, then walk 800 meters (10 minutes). You can enjoy old Chongqing street views on the way, which is more comfortable than getting stuck in traffic by taxi! Direct bus: Take routes 118, 138, or 403 to “Changjiang 1st Road International Village” stop, then climb 300 steps to reach (wear flat shoes! Don’t wear high heels to suffer). Driving tips: Navigate to “E’ling No.2 Factory Cultural and Creative Park.” The park has a multi-story garage, parking fee is 20 yuan/day, arrive early on holidays to secure a spot! 🌟 Must-visit spots (with photo tips) 1. Cloud Rooftop (Building 1, 5th Floor) ✅ Filming location of "Waiting for the Rain to Stop Together," the “I miss you a lot in Chongqing” sign is a must-photograph! Visit between 4-5 PM for soft sunlight without backlight, and you can also capture Chongqing city at sunset. ❌ Don’t crowd in front of the sign; the railing nearby offers amazing river views, fewer people, and great shots! 2. DANDY ART HOUSE (Building 7) ✅ Same filming location as "Better Days," with vintage decor and river views inside. Order a coffee and relax, pretending you’re in a movie~ 3. Building 9, Old Republic of China Banknote Printing Factory Site ✅ The oldest building in the park, with weathered industrial walls. Just standing at the entrance makes for a story-rich photo, no need to find special angles! 4. No.2 Factory Memory Museum (Building 12) ✅ Free to learn about the old factory’s history, plus a banknote printing technology experience hall. Great for kids to visit and gain knowledge! 5. Popular photo spots collection The “TESTBED2” English letters on the ground at the main entrance look great standing or crouching for photos. The “Must Drive 318 in This Life” sign, with a hidden photo spot in the nearby stairwell—avoid the crowds! 🍜 What to eat without risk? Da Wang Youcha: Authentic old Chongqing flavor! Youcha paired with crispy fried dough twists, savory and delicious. Opens at 10 AM, go early to avoid lines. Night Market: Opens after 5 PM, offering sour and spicy noodles, iced jelly, grilled brain, and more. Prices are slightly higher than outside the scenic area but the taste is authentic. Perfect for a snack after exploring. Warning: Don’t blindly rush to the popular milk tea shops inside the park; they’re not cost-effective. If you want milk tea, buy it at ordinary shops downhill! 📝 Super practical travel routes (two options!) 👉 Quick check-in route (1.5 hours, for those in a hurry) Entrance → Ground English photo spot → No.2 Factory big iron gate → “Must Drive 318 in This Life” sign → Small market → Cloud Rooftop → DANDY ART HOUSE → Building 9 old site → Exit 👉 In-depth combined route (3-4 hours, explore surrounding areas) E’ling Park (climb the viewing tower for panoramic views of the two rivers) → Walk from E’ling plank bridge to No.2 Factory → Explore core spots in No.2 Factory → No.2 Factory Memory Museum → Walk down along the third-level road → Liziba Viewing Platform (photograph the monorail passing through the building) ⚠️ Important reminders you must read! 1. Wear comfortable, non-slip flat shoes! The park is full of slopes and stairs; high heels will make you cry. 2. Don’t get too close to the edges of the rooftop or riverside railings when taking photos; safety first! Be quiet when passing residential buildings, don’t disturb others. 3. Chongqing weather changes frequently; bring a sun-and-rain umbrella, and do sun protection in summer to avoid getting sunburned. 4. Bring a power bank! Charging ports in the park are very few, and taking photos consumes a lot of power. 5. Buy cultural and creative products rationally! Some prices are high; prioritize snacks as souvenirs (like hot pot base, Chen Mahua fried dough twists) for better value!
