FAQ
A comfortable 3-day route covers the city's neon icons, food and viewpoints in an easy order. Day 1 is Jiefangbei, the Hongya Cave golden-hour approach and a private terrace hotpot; Day 2 is Liziba, vertical-city viewpoints, Ciqikou tea and snacks, then a Two Rivers night cruise; Day 3 is a park or Nanshan viewpoint and a museum or market before your transfer.
Yes, a long weekend works beautifully for a first visit when the timing is right. Three days is enough to see Hongya Cave, Liziba, Jiefangbei, Ciqikou and a night cruise at a comfortable pace, with proper hotpot and skyline viewpoints. It's the route we most often recommend for first-timers who want the icons without feeling rushed.
It's a ready-to-customise guide, not a fixed package. Tell us your dates, group size and comfort level and Anjia turns it into a private route with guide, vehicle, hotels and practical timing. We can swap viewpoints, adjust the pace for families or seniors, add or drop the cruise, and build the days around your interests and arrival times.
Every private tour includes an English-speaking guide, a private vehicle with driver, hand-picked hotels, tickets, a flexible pace with no forced shopping, and 24-hour in-trip support in Chongqing. Two levels are offered: Comfort private for good value, or Luxury private for premium hotels, senior guide matching, upgraded transfers and slower, more bespoke daily design.
The price depends on your travel dates, group size, hotel level, whether you add Wulong, Dazu or Zhangjiajie, plus cruise or rail tickets and any special food or accessibility needs. There's no fee to plan: send rough dates and party size via the contact form or WhatsApp, and a designer replies with ideas and an indicative quote, usually within about 2 hours in Beijing working hours.
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the most comfortable for this walking-heavy city route, with mild weather. Summers are hot and humid in this famously furnace-like city, and winter is cool and sometimes misty. The neon night views and the Hongya Cave golden hour reward you year-round, whichever season you pick.
