Day 1 Chongqing Tour | Ciqikou Ancient Town, Three Gorges Museum, Liziba Metro, Hongya Cave

Welcome to Chongqing, China’s Spectacular Mountain City! Get ready to immerse yourself in one of the most exciting destinations trending on TikTok! Known for its unique 3D city layout and dazzling night views, Chongqing is often called the "Little Hong Kong" for its vibrant skyline and dynamic urban vibe. Indulge in the most authentic hotpot in the Hotpot Capital of China. Nestled at the confluence of the Yangtze River and Jialing River, Chongqing also serves as your gateway to the breathtaking Three Gorges, one of China's most iconic natural wonders.

Upon meeting you at the airport, train station, or Chaotianmen Port, start your journey with us at Ciqikou Ancient Town, a living museum of Chongqing’s history! This 1,000-year-old charming town, featuring well-preserved Ming and Qing Dynasty architecture, was once a bustling porcelain trade hub and still brims with cultural heritage. Explore the enchanting streets of Ciqikou, where every step on the narrow cobblestone paths feels like traveling back in time. Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere as you admire traditional crafts, enjoy local performances such as Sichuan opera face-changing shows, and savor delicious street food like the famous Mahua (crispy fried dough twists).

This afternoon, embark on a journey through time at the Three Gorges Museum, home to a vast collection of over 280,000 precious historical relics. Dive deep into the fascinating story of the Yangtze River, the formation of the iconic Three Gorges, and the evolution of Chongqing from its ancient beginnings to its vibrant rise in the 20th century. After exploring the museum, don’t miss the chance to capture stunning photos in front of the People’s Assembly Hall, an architectural masterpiece located just outside the museum.

Later, let’s witness the most thrilling sight - the train that passes through a building at Liziba Metro Station. Located on Line 2 of Chongqing’s monorail, this station is famously constructed through the middle of a residential building, making it a truly unique and unforgettable experience.

After that, you will be transferred to Hongya Cave, located along the Jialing River and near Chaotianmen Square. It is famous for its traditional stilted buildings (Diaojiaolou), dazzling night views, and vibrant atmosphere. Stroll along the riverside promenade to enjoy spectacular views of the Jialing River and the modern Chongqing skyline. Explore the multi-level complex, featuring Diaojiaolou-style wooden structures and steep stairways. Here, you can even try Hot Pot, if you like. As night falls, this complex transforms into a dazzling spectacle, offering one of Chongqing’s most iconic night views.

After the tour, your 1-day Chongqing Tour concludes. Your guide and driver will escort you to the airport or train station in Chongqing for your onward flight or high-speed train to your next destination.Thank you for choosing Asia Odyssey Travel for your China Chongqing tour!

Huangshan Landscapes and History
Asia Odyssey Travel was the first company to reply to my inquiry regarding a private 4 day tour to Huangshan. My wife and I were travelling to Chongqing and Chengdu with friends for 7 days and wanted to extend our time in China to see the famed Yellow Mountains.
I contacted AOT with a short list of places we wanted to visit, and Catherine Wang at AOT responded with an itinerary and price quote. After a little back and forth and a few tweaks, we were ready to go. I'm glad that we were able to upgrade our hotels in Huangshan City (Crowne Plaza) and on the mountain (Baiyun).
Our local guide, Gary, was knowledgeable about the history, culture, resources, economy, and everything else a tourist might ask about the places he showed us. He paced our hikes on the mountain to our ability and despite rain, showed us breathtaking landscapes. In the ancient villages of Xidi and Hongcun, we got a feel for life in the Ming and Qing dynasties and independent time to wander the back alleys where life continues in present day.
To sum up, AOT gave us a great experience from planning to pick up and departure.

TQ AOT! Amazing Trip To Beijing & Gubei Watertown
We chose AOT as we needed an English speaking guide for our family of 6. Our customised trip to Beijing & Gubei Watertown was amazing! We went in May & the crowd was not that big. We almost had the 2 Great Walls at Jinshangling & Simatai to ourselves! My special appreciation to Claire for her superb advice & patience throughout my whole planning journey. She gave good advice on the food & snacks to buy. If it wasn't for Claire, my planning journey would be a disaster! Another special appreciation to Jennifer, our caring tour guide & also our driver, Mr Cui. Jennifer was super knowledgeable about China's history & culture & she was very kind & patient with our group. She was very professional & caring throughout the trip. Her recommendations on the restaurants, food & snacks as gifts was awesome. Thank you AOT for recommending Claire & Jennifer for our trip!
