Standard tour lasts around 6 hours with 5 places to visit. If you need to extend tour, overtime applies.

Be mindful of huge crowds during the public holidays such as Chinese New Year and National Day *Check calendar and public holidays before you book it. I normally suggest not to travel during this period.

“Chongqing city walk and historical Dazu rock carvings”

We took a city walk tour with our guide Changchun(Chris) in late October 2026. We started our tour from our hotel making our way through Kuixinglou, Hongyacave, Elin park and finishing at Raffles city. Chris provided excellent local insights and views including introducing us to chrysanthemum tea in a small lovely book store at the Longmenhao old st. Thank you Chris for guiding us around the various attractions of the city. We travelled to the historic Dazu rock carvings with our guide, Chris. We were utterly fascinated with the remarkable carvings and various stories that they convey. Our appreciation of the rock carvings were greatly enhanced by Chris’s expert narratives of the carving. We would highly recommend Chris to anyone visiting Chongqing.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure guiding you through Chongqing. I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring the city’s vibrant highlights—from the unique architectural marvels to the stunning views. Pausing for chrysanthemum tea at that cozy Longmenhao bookstore is always one of my favorite local moments to share! I’m also thrilled that the journey to the Dazu Rock Carvings left such a strong impression. Sharing the rich history and stories behind those remarkable ancient masterpieces is always a highlight for me, and I’m glad my insights enhanced your experience. Thank you again for your kind recommendation and for choosing to explore Chongqing with me. I hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in the future! Warm regards, Chris.
