Decide what you want from Chongqing
For a first visit, build your days around a few neighbourhoods instead of chasing every viewpoint. Jiefangbei, Hongya Cave and Chaotianmen give you a natural starting point on the central peninsula. Cross to Longmenhao for a different view of the city. Choose Ciqikou for a separate neighbourhood outing.
How many days should you allow?
Our suggested two-day itinerary concentrates on the city. The three-day itinerary adds a slower cultural day. With four full sightseeing days, you can consider a separate Dazu excursion. Arrival and departure take additional time; a four-calendar-day tour is a different proposition.
Wulong calls for a separate regional plan. Decide whether landscapes or city experiences matter more before adding transfers. The Dazu Rock Carvings suit travellers interested in religious art and history.
