During a day of Citywalk exploration, stroll through the unique veins of the mountainous city of Chongqing, starting with the historic Shancheng Lane, lined with quaint homes and stores that have left their mark over time, creating a vivid picture of an old street. Afterwards, lightly turn to White Elephant Street, which was once a prosperous place where merchants and traders gathered, and every piece of green stone board seems to whisper the past splendor. The Sutra Pavilion stands quietly, revealing a bit of tranquility in the ancient trees, adding a touch of Zen to the journey.

Continuing on to the White Elephant House, this residential complex surrounded by the spectacle of the light rail running through the building is a perfect example of the fusion of modernity and antiquity, which makes people stop and look up, marveling at the unique magical charm of the mountain city. Immediately after that, step into the Huguang Guild Hall, the antique architectural complex tells the epic of immigration from Huguang to Sichuan, and every brick and tile carries a heavy historical memory.

Stroll to the Dongshuimen City Wall Ruins, the mottled walls witnessed the vicissitudes of Chongqing City, as if you can travel through time and feel the resilience and unyielding. Subsequently, the morning bells and evening drums of Luohan Temple rang out, adding a bit of religious solemnity and peace to this cultural journey.

Finally, at nightfall, arrived at Hongyadong, the lights, hanging footstools built on the mountain, layers upon layers, like a bright night pearl inlaid in the Jialing River, this is not only a sea of food, but also an excellent place to experience the culture of Bayu. A day of Citywalk, from the morning dew to the night low, the charm of Chongqing's mountain city is slowly unveiled, leaving a deep and unforgettable memory.

Shopping on Nanjing Road in Shanghai was just amazing! It's truly the "First Commercial Street of China", where tradition and modernity blend perfectly. You can find awesome souvenirs and experience the trendy vibes in cool stores. The neon lights at night are just spectacular, shining bright like Times Square in New York. The food here is incredible too. I had a feast for my taste buds. Shanghai, I'll definitely be back!

As a solo traveler from Canada, I was nervous about navigating China alone—but this 11-day tour was PERFECT! From hiking the Great Wall at sunrise (Day 3) to gasping at the Terracotta Army (Day 5), every day delivered ‘pinch-me’ moments. The real showstopper? Zhangjiajie’s Avatar Mountains (Day 7)! Our guide made the stone pillars come alive with stories. Massive thanks for handling all logistics—bullet train tickets, entry passes, car! And the 4-star hotels surprised me.

Our 2-day Zhangjiajie tour was beyond spectacular! As someone who’s visited Beijing and Shanghai for work, this trip revealed China’s wild, magical heart. Day 1 in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park felt like stepping onto Pandora—I’m a huge Avatar fan, and Yuanjiajie’s floating peaks left me breathless. The misty pillars and lush valleys like pure movie magic! Then came Fenghuang Ancient Town, we eat dinner beside the thundering waterfall. It seems Unreal! The night views of stilt houses glowing over the river were straight from a fairy tale. For fellow Avatar lovers and adventure seekers: Don’t miss this bucket-list experience! 10/10 would return.
