Then it's time for our lunch. We'll do either a local neighborhood restaurant for some family cuisines or a sinplified hotpot or rice noodles with chicken soup, our travelers will make the call.

After lunch we'll do a unique attraction, Liziba Monorail Station. A monorail bridge goes straight through an aprtment building. Our city government particularly biult a platform right besides the station to enable travellers to view the whole thing. Every single day thousands of tourists gether around there to witness this interesting spectacle.

It's now also a trendy attraction for tik-tok influencers, they take video around, garner likes and increase their followers. The train's arrival frequency is every 3 min, means you won't miss anything.

Our next move will be that well-known "Tricky floor building", an office building adjacent to Hongyadong, the actual street level of this building goes to 22 floor, and it's also 10 floor and 1 floor. How come? Only one way to find out.

Then we'll show you around Hong-Ya-Dong this unique Yangtze river side old style architecture, also lots fun to have in there.

The People's Assembly Hall will be an alternative option depends on our timing or weather. This is a marvelous nastalgic archetecture built in 1950's pretty much imitates the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, and has been the No.1 landmark of Chongqing for over 70 years.

We might skip this site if we really could not find a parking space nearby. It's really hard to find one, and we might will take a car ride around in stead.

Then we'll drop our travellers back in their hotel or any resignated site in downtown.
