Here you can see the light rail passing through the middle of residential buildings and experience the magical feeling of "8D Chongqing".
Highlights: We recommend first going to the observation deck to capture the moment the train enters the building from below, then going into the station to experience the amazing feeling of passing through multiple floors. The small exhibition hall at the end of the platform explains the story of the station's construction, which is very interesting.

The route centers on the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers, connecting the dazzling night views of the Yuzhong Peninsula. As night falls, the lights on both banks cascade like a galaxy, with the golden stilted buildings of Hongyadong reflected in the river.

The park is expansive with considerable walking distances, so you can adjust your time based on your stamina and interests. Arriving early can help you avoid crowds and enhance your viewing experience, especially when visiting the popular Giant Panda House.
The most popular highlight at Chongqing Zoo is its Giant Panda House, where you can get up close to adorable pandas like 'Yu Ke' and 'Yu Ai'. Additionally, the zoo houses many rare animals such as golden monkeys and South China tigers, and features exhibits like the Asian Elephant House and the African Animal Zone, offering a rich and diverse animal viewing experience. It's advisable to plan your route using the park map to ensure you don't miss the main exhibition areas and animal show times.
To capture the best view of the light rail train passing through the building at Liziba Station, we recommend visiting the viewing platform on the opposite side of the station. From this platform, you can clearly photograph the unique scene of the train entering and exiting the building. You can also shoot from below the station on the road, looking up to showcase the magnificent architecture and the magical combination with the train. Please be aware of the train schedule to catch the moment; the train usually enters the station slowly, giving you ample time for photos. Visiting outside peak hours will mean fewer crowds and a better experience.

The Shibatui Historical and Cultural District is a representative of Chongqing's old streets and alleys, preserving the unique stilted buildings of the mountain city and the traditional local way of life. We recommend starting from the upper city entrance and walking down along the long stone steps to experience its undulating terrain. Along the way, you can admire restored ancient buildings, traditional teahouses, snack shops, and art and cultural creative spaces. You can feel the historical charm where old and new intertwine and trace the living traces of former Chongqing residents to gain a deeper understanding of the local culture.
