The itinerary and time of start is customizable. Generally, we could cover 5 places and a meal time (optional) within 7 hours (0930AM-1700PM or 1000AM-1730PM, etc).

--Chongqing, Chongching, Chungking/Chongquin 重庆/重慶 (whichever you call it), once part of Szechuan四川Province of Southern China, was separated as the self-governing municipality and the biggest city in China and of the world. It was semi-colonized, and served as the temporary capital of China during the WWII so it preserves a lot of European influences, a fact that is unknown to the international community! It has a lot of landmarks--Monument, Raffles City (Intercontinental Hotel), JW Marriott Hotel, Hongyadong, and Yangtse River.
--Explore the inside out of this magic and characteristic city! It has its own dialect, gastronomy(eye-popping xiaomian, savory hotpot), cyberpunk nightview, landscape, climate and residential features. And it has become a hotspot for international tourists thanks to the unique architectures, the viral monorail station Liziba (train into the building) and the jaw-dropping plaza Kuixinglou.
--Inbound tour is facilitated by the visa-free scheme of China and the direct flights from over ten transport hubs in Europe (HU--Hainan Airlines), Japan, Hong Kong and Australia (GS--Tianjin) and intercity bullet train to Chengdu, Xi'an and Zhangjiajie. You could also embark your Three Gorges Cruise trip长江三峡游轮 here.
