What’s the deal?
The Two Rivers Cruise is THE way to soak up Chongqing’s epic night views. Hop on a boat and cruise where the Yangtze River (muddy yellow) and Jialing River (emerald green) collide at Chaotianmen—it’s like nature’s own “yin-yang” artwork. At night, the city’s skyscrapers and bridges light up like a neon wonderland.
Cool stuff you’ll see:
- Must-See Landmarks
- Hongya Cave: Lights up at night like a real-life Spirited Away scene.

Chongqing’s nightscape is called “China’s best” for a reason. Think skyscrapers, bridges, and hills all lit up like a 3D light show. - The “Hot Pot” Rivers
Watch the Yangtze and Jialing rivers swirl together without mixing—like a giant “spicy vs. mild” hot pot broth.
