HI,

PHOTOGRAPHER /
WORLD TRAVELER /
CREATIVE PLANNER

I'm a photographer, and I love traveling and exploring new places.

I've traveled to over 20 countries and hiked the Tour du Mont Blanc. My background in photography and creative work has taught me to look at places from different perspectives.

Now I bring that experience into creating new ways to explore Chongqing.

HI,
I'M
RACHEL.

HIKER /
CULTURAL PLANNER /
STORYTELLER

I love hiking, traveling, and learning about different cultures.

I've trekked to Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Base Camp, and Mount Kailash, and organized Chinese cultural experiences abroad.

Travel has taught me that the people we meet and the stories we share can be just as memorable as the places we visit.

That's what I'd love to share with you in Chongqing.

We Can Help You Solve This Problem

“I only have one day in Chongqing. How can I understand the city beyond the famous landmarks?”

Chongqing is a huge city shaped by mountains and rivers. Its iconic places are scattered across different areas. A route that connects them helps you understand how the city fits together.

Day 1

The Soul of Chongqing

A journey to understand why Chongqing became a city like no other.

Morning

The city built on layers

Luohan Temple
A thousand-year-old temple hidden among skyscrapers. This quiet temple reveals the city’s older soul, where traditional culture, incense and modern urban life exist side by side.
Best moment
Temple entrance with skyscrapers behind it. Traditional architecture and city contrast.
Liziba Monorail
The train passing through a building is only the beginning. Around Liziba, see how residents have adapted to a city with very little flat land. Homes, roads and transport are layered together to create the vertical city.
Best moment
Train passing through the building. Local streets around the station.

Afternoon

Life between mountains and rivers

Xiahaoli & Longmenhao
Before Chongqing became known for skyscrapers and neon, people lived along these hillside streets. Walk through old neighborhoods with stone steps, old houses, small shops and everyday local life.
Best moment
Hillside streets, river views and hidden corners.
Chaotianmen
Where the Yangtze and Jialing rivers meet. The confluence helps explain why Chongqing became an important trading city and how the water shaped its development.
Best moment
Two rivers meeting. Raffles City skyline.

Evening

The city after dark

Grand Theatre Viewpoint
Mountains, rivers, bridges and skyscrapers come together in Chongqing’s night skyline.
Best moment
Blue hour, river reflections and skyline photography.
Hongyadong
Chongqing’s postcard view. Timing and perspective can make the difference between a crowded photo stop and a memorable city view.
Local Dinner Experience
Mountain hot pot with city views, or Chongqing barbecue loved by locals.
