China · EVENING EXPERIENCES IN CHONGQING
Good evening experiences in Chongqing fill up weeks ahead; the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Chongqing night cruise on the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers from Hongyadong pier. 45 minutes of skyline lights and onboard stories.
“Not a good value for money. Tickets are ~40 USD for a 45 minute cruise where you cannot sit. I've taken a boat cruise in another major China city that was cheaper, longer, and allows you to sit.”
A 3-hour private Chongqing night tour with metro ride, skyline photo stops, secret viewpoints, and a multilingual guide for $88.
“Luna was a great guide and spoke good English”
See Chongqing’s neon bridges and Hongya Cave on a Yangtze evening cruise with hotel pickup, guided stops at Chaotianmen and Jiefangbei.
“Yeah a must see if you're visiting the cyberpunk city. It was nice to have a guide and he was great but I'm not sure it was really needed. I do recommend getting the VIP in the front of the boat for beautiful scene views.”
Private Chongqing night lights tour with hot pot or Yangtze cruise. See Hongya Cave, Qiansimen Bridge, and river confluences in 4 hours.
“It felt a little rushed. One of the view platform was not even known by the guide and the last attraction point was closed with the lights turned off as it was after 22:00. Net, in retrospect, I would have done only the river cruise. That it was very nice.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
