• Chongqing - Option 1: Enjoy a 3-hour walking tour of Chongqing Shancheng Alley, also known as Mountain City Lane. This area is celebrated as Chongqing’s “Architectural Museum,” featuring ancient city walls from the early Ming Dynasty, foreign consulates and churches from the late Qing Dynasty, and unique structures like hanging footstools, courtyards, air-raid shelters, and Shichaomen buildings from the Anti-War Period. Additionally, you’ll find schools and residential houses from various periods after the founding of New China.

The tour begins at a designated meeting point, followed by a stroll to Shancheng Alley. As you walk along the trail, you’ll discover the rich history of Chongqing and the local lifestyle. The path is lined with fascinating handicraft shops and tea houses. Take a break at a tea house to enjoy some tea and possibly witness a traditional Face Changing show. The tour concludes with a taste of Bing Fen, Chongqing’s most popular dessert.

• Huangge Trail - Option 2: Embark on a 4-hour walking tour of the Huangge Ancient Road, one of Chongqing’s most picturesque and historic trails, dating back to the Tang-Song dynasties. This peaceful 2-3 km flagstone path meanders through the lush Nan’an District, shaded by ancient banyan trees (Ficus virens, locally known as “Huangge”). Once a crucial segment of the Tea-Horse Road connecting Sichuan and Guizhou, it now offers a gentle 3-hour hike with minimal elevation gain, ideal for leisurely explorers. Along the route, you’ll encounter Ming-Qing era stone carvings, hidden temples, and charming tea houses, all while enjoying views of the Yangtze River skyline. The trail concludes near Nanshan’s viewpoints, where you can savor local mountain cuisine. A peaceful retreat that combines history, nature, and urban scenery.
