Later, visit Hongya Cave, an iconic stilted architectural wonder built into the mountainside. Known for its "three-dimensional aerial pedestrian street," this attraction offers breathtaking night views, featuring traditional Diaojiaolou buildings, Tujia ethnic architecture, and antique-style commercial streets like Zhiyanhe Bar Street and Tiancheng Lane, where visitors can immerse themselves in Bayu culture, shopping, and street food. A perfect blend of history, tradition, and modern vibrance, Hongya Cave is an unmissable highlight of Chongqing’s skyline.

The Dazu Rock Carvings
After breakfast, begin your day by visiting the Dazu Rock Carvings, an extraordinary site and the real-life inspiration for the black myth: Wukong. As the largest grotto complex in southern China, the Dazu Rock Carvings date back to the late Tang dynasty (618–907) and early Song dynasty (960–1127). Renowned for its exquisite stone carvings, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a true masterpiece of Buddhist and Taoist art. Among the five cave groups, the Baodingshan Rock Carvings stand out, featuring the famous “Three-Dimensional Picture of the River During the Qingming Festival”, which vividly captures the market life of the Southern Song Dynasty. As you explore the site, you’ll encounter not only intricate carvings but also the atmosphere of ancient local life, blending history and art.
