07 September 2026 WULONG (武隆) For our fourth day in Chongqing, we booked the same private driver who had brought us to Dazu the day before. This time, we headed to Wulong (武隆) to explore the Three Natural Bridges (天生三桥) and Longshuixia Fissure Gorge (龙水峡地缝). We also arranged for a photographer to accompany us for the day — a service known as 陪拍. One of my friends really enjoys photoshoots, so we decided to give it a go together! Personally, I prefer spending more time admirin

6 September 2026 Day 3 took the three of us out of the city centre to Baodingshan, where we spent far longer than expected exploring the Dazu Rock Carvings — so engrossed that we even skipped lunch. Thankfully, our driver had some delicious dinner recommendations for us. We rounded off the day with grilled fish, crayfish, a visit to The Ring Shopping Park, and drinks back at the hotel overlooking Chongqing’s skyline.

5 September 2026 Day 2 started with just the two of us, before our third friend joined us later in the day.

4 September 2026 This trip to Chongqing was a little different from my usual solo travels—I was travelling with two friends! We were all arriving at different time though, so I had the first day to explore on my own before our group of three was complete. BAIXIANGJU (白象居) My first stop was Baixiangju (白象居), known for its unusual hillside layout and views of the Yangtze River Cableway (长江索道). It is a very Chongqing sort of place: exits on the 1st, 10th and 15th floors lead out

12 September 2025 It was my last day in Ningxia before flying back to Shanghai. We had two more places to visit: China Western Film Studios (镇北堡西部影城) and Shuidonggou (水洞沟). CHINA WESTERN FILM STUDIOS (镇北堡西部影城) One last day in Ningxia, starting at China Western Film Studios (镇北堡西部影城). The film studio has been used for several famous Chinese movies, including A Chinese Odyssey《大话西游》, Red Sorghum《红高粱》, Ashes of Time《东邪西毒》and New Dragon Gate Inn《新龙门客栈》. It was quite cool to walk
