Chongqing is a huge city in south western China and is one of the People’s Republic’s five national cities. It is recognised as one of China’s major cultural and historical cities, and as such Chongqing has many tourist sites to offer.
Chongqing served as the capital of China for seven years during World War 2 and so there are a number of attractions related to the war and political history. Some of the buildings dating from this time have been demolished now, but the People’s Liberation Monument still remains, and it’s the only one of its kind in China celebrating the victory over the Axis Enemies.
The General Joseph W Stilwell Museum is also from this time. General Stilwell was the Allied Chief of Staff in China and the museum is based within his former home. It has been furnished and decorated as it would have been in the 1940s.
Wuxi County
Chongqing isn’t just a city, it’s a municipality, and within the municipality there are counties that hold many other attractions. Wuxi County is renowned as a tourist destination because it features some amazing scenery and has preserved its Witchcraft culture, making this quite a unique place. There are specific sights to see here too such as the Wuxi Cave, and beautiful Yuntai Temple.
Dazu Rock Carvings
In the Dazu County of Chongqing is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Dazu Rock Carvings. These are religious sculptures and carvings carved out of the mountainside, some dating as far back as the 7th century. The carvings depict Buddhist, Confucian and Taoist beliefs and there are around 50,000 statues in total.
Fishing Town
The name of this attraction doesn’t do anything to describe what you’ll actually see here! Fishing Town is actually one of the three great ancient battlefields of China, which showed amazing resistance to the Mongol armies. There is a historic fort here plus many other historical sites.
Ciqikou
While much of Chongqing is a modern and sprawling city there’s one part that hasn’t really changed over the course of 1,000 years. Ciqikou is also known as Little Chongqing and it’s a popular part of the city thanks to its steep and narrow streets and unique restaurants, and shops where locally mad handicrafts and porcelain are sold.
Flights to Chongqing
Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (airport code: CKG) handles more than 15 million people each year, so be prepared for a large and busy airport. Even so, there are only 2 airlines with 2-stop flights to Chongqing from the UK. With British Airways, you'll connect in Hong Kong, and Virgin Atlantic makes a stop in Shanghai. China Southern Airlines and KLM are two other choices, and they both offer the same route for their flights to Chongqing, making connections in Amsterdam and then also in Shanghai.Chongqing Tourist Attractions
