Chongqing|Take advantage of the beautiful sunshine to explore these city details

☀️Lately, I've been flooded with winter sunshine from Sichuan and Chongqing. While organizing my photo albums, I found some previously captured winter sunshine perspectives of Chongqing. Compared to the summer heat, the autumn and winter sunlight carries a gentler vibe. 📷If you, like me, happen to enjoy photography and are willing to exercise a bit while the sun is just right, appreciating the street scenery of Chongqing after work is also a great choice. 📍Here are some spots I've recorded and want to share: ◾️Photo 1: Partial view of the Guotai Art Center at Jiefangbei. The sunlight passing through the gaps in the building blocks creates light spots that give a sense of growth. I recommend shooting on sunny afternoons around 2 or 3 PM when the light spots are very soft. ◾️Photo 2: Changxiapo Zhengyang Street, right opposite United International at Jiefangbei. This street, usually dimly lit, gains a lot of depth with the sunset sunlight. ◾️Photo 3: Hongyadong at Jiefangbei, taken from the Jialing River Riverside Road at 4 PM. The taxis 🚕 add a touch of everyday life. ◾️Photo 4: Jiangbei Airport Terminal 3. Compared to the taxi lineup at the dispatch area, I prefer waiting at the traffic light on the pedestrian bridge in front of the gathering point to watch taxis merge in. ◾️Photo 5: Sunset view of the Dafosi Yangtze River Bridge recorded from the pedestrian bridge near the International Community in Nan’an District. ◾️Photo 6: Yidu Ancient Town in Dadukou, capturing the Masangxi Yangtze River Bridge from the main street of the ancient town at sunset. ◾️Photo 7: From a high spot at Liziba Station, you can capture the light rail train and taxis together in the forest. I personally love the light spots among the treetops. ◾️Photo 8: From the Haike Yingzhou Sky Garden at Jiefangbei, you can see the Yangtze River Cableway under the afternoon sun, with Baixiangju behind it. ◾️Photo 9: Observing the sunrise at Jiefangbei from Huanghuayuan Bridge, the sun shines through the top of Raffles City. ◾️Photos 10-16: My personal favorite, Xiantao Data Valley. Both the details and the grand views are worth careful recording. 💡If you have time, take a walk while the sun is just right and record life—it’s also a great way to relax.
