This mountain city, located in the southwestern part of China, showcases a unique sense of the future through its one-of-a-kind topography, architecture, and culture, leaving visitors from all over the world in awe.
Next, let’s delve into Chongqing together and explore the charm of this cyberpunk capital that has taken the foreign world by storm.
Four Must – Visit Attractions
Li Ziba Light Rail: In the early morning, a light rail train roars through a residential building, resembling that of the means of transportation in the future world and making people feel as if they are in a sci – fi movie. This unique design not only showcases the three – dimensional transportation characteristics of Chongqing but also makes people feel the collision and integration of high – end technology and real life, which is a vivid embodiment of the cyberpunk style. 
Hongyadong: As night falls and the lights come on, the night view of Hongyadong is simply unparalleled. The ancient stilted buildings, with their irregular arrangement, are illuminated by modern-colored lights, creating a dreamlike and illusory scene. From a distance, it looks like a “fantasy city” growing out of the cliffs. The dazzling lights and neon lights here immerse people in the surreal and futuristic urban night view, which coincides with the characteristic of shining neon lights in the cyberpunk style.
Transportation Network: Chongqing, this mountain city, has created a city skyline with its unique topography and landforms. Buildings seem to grow in an orderly manner in the mountains, forming a three – dimensional urban painting. Therefore, its transportation design is also full of magical elements: the overpass design is complex, with up to 5 levels, like the Huangjue Bay Overpass, where more than 20 ramps criss – cross, and navigation often “get lost” here. In Chongqing, taking daily transportation “to the sky and into the ground”, buses shuttle through the suspension bridges between two mountains like roller coasters; the Hongyan Village subway station is as deep as 166 meters; you can even cross the river without taking a boat or walking on a bridge, just take the cable car to the opposite bank and enjoy the scenery around. And when you walk on the city streets, one second you seem to be walking on the ground of a huge square, but once you stick your head out of the railing, you get a fear of heights – you are actually standing on the eighteenth floor of the ground! These are all magical experiences that cannot be found in other cities. 
Raffles Square: This modern architectural complex shows the modernization and internationalization of Chongqing with its unique design and high – end commercial atmosphere. Standing on the viewing platform of Raffles Square and overlooking the urban landscape of Chongqing, you will feel the breath of a future city.
The cyberpunk style of Chongqing is not only reflected in these buildings and landscapes but also integrated into every aspect of the city. Here, the modern and the traditional coexist harmoniously, and high – tech is closely connected with daily life. Most importantly, Chongqing has developed from a small mountain city to a modern metropolis in less than a hundred years, which reflects the rapid development of China’s comprehensive national strength. Nowadays, China insists on an open attitude, and its influence on the international stage is gradually increasing. Chinese tourism has already set off a craze on YouTube. Come and bring your children to Chongqing, China. It will be an amazing experience.
