The best way to learn about Chongqing is the Two River Cruise, with an unforgettable experience viewing Chongqing’s cityscape, especially at night. From Chaotianmen Wharf to Huanghuayuan Bridge, turn around to where the two rivers meet, continue to near the Sheraton Hotel and return to Chaotianmen Wharf. The journey is about 20 kilometers and the tour time is about 60 minutes.
The night view of the mountain city was famous as early as in the QianlongPeriod of the Qing Dynasty(1736-1795). It was listed as one of the twelve views of Bayu(Chongqing) by Wang Erjian, governor of the Ba County at that time. The Two River Cruise combines Chongqing's mountains and rivers with Chongqing's night scenery and has become a name card of the city. It is the best window for the outside world to understand Chongqing direct, three-dimensional, dynamic, all round, close up and show the charm of Chongqing.
“Not seeing the night view, not having been to Chongqing”. It is definitely a big regret not to enjoy the night view of Chongqing. Unique city style, no matter where people stand, you can appreciate the layers of light. The night of Chongqing decorated with thousands of lights and neon flickers are dreamy and bright, reflected in the rippling river, strewn at random. If the night view of Beijing and Shanghai is a kind of "atmosphere", then the night view of Chongqing is a kind of "moving"!
