Travel Notes | Chongqing in My Eyes (1)

Hello everyone!

I haven’t tweeted for a long time. I recently moved from Chengdu to Chongqing. I’ve been busy all the time. I’m looking for a new job, looking for a house, and a bunch of other messy things, so I haven’t had time to spare. Time to write tweets.

It’s been almost a week since I moved to Chongqing. They say Chongqing is a magical 5D city, so you can use my lens to see which camera seats I have booked.

Baixiangju

It is said that Baixiangju is an old-fashioned residential building in Chongqing. If you want to peek into the depths of this city, it is natural to come to a place like this. The 24-story White Elephant Residence is a real-life version of "Monument Valley", a Rubik's Cube building on the river bank.

From the sky corridor on the upper floor, you can take photos of the Yangtze River Cableway, Dongshuimen Bridge, and Chaotianmen Raffles City in the same frame.

But this was not good enough for me. I wanted to capture the feeling of tourists taking pictures of the Yangtze River Cableway. I looked around and found that the building opposite the sky corridor had a residents’ balcony, so I climbed up from the bottom in one breath. There are more than 10 floors, so here are some pictures.

Danzishi Light Rail Station

Take the light rail from Baixiangju to the next destination, Danzishi Light Rail.

Standing under the overpass at Exit 2, you can take a picture of the light rail entering the station.

Xiejiawan Overpass

Chongqing is known as the Magic 5D City because the buildings here are constructed in unexpected ways. Xiejiawan, under the joint action of highways, bridges, interchanges, and rail transit, has formed a unique four-layer three-dimensional urban transportation structure.

I think it’s best to see the sunset here. Recently, it’s either light rain or cloudy in Chongqing, and the overall photos show a mist. I will take another photo if I have the chance.

Haitangxi Light Rail Station

Chongqing Rail Transit Ring Line Haitangxi Station, where you can take photos with a cyberpunk feel. The winding trains rush into the station from far to near. The background is the Yuzhong Peninsula and the "Twin Towers" of the Sheraton Hotel on Nanbin Road. If you come to take photos at night, Romantic scenes from comics will be captured.

Huangjuewan Overpass

The last scenic spot we arrived at was the Huangjuewan Overpass. Here, you can see the largest and most intricate overpass in the southwest. I heard that the Chongqing government built a viewing platform specifically for photographers to take photos.

After waiting for a long time, there were no cars around and only a Chongqing iconic yellow taxi passed by. Since there is no tripod, otherwise it can be synthesized later.

Looking around, I found that there is a better viewing place, which is the rooftop of this building...

For someone like me who is afraid of heights, this is quite a challenge.

When taking pictures on the rooftop, I didn’t dare to look down. I only dared to look down through the camera screen.

Summarize

Chongqing is an Internet celebrity tourist city. It is built on the mountains and has a huge magic index. There are many very magical and Internet celebrity attractions. The attractions in this street sweep were all taken one by one by taking the light rail. In my eyes, Chongqing’s night view is the best. Most charming. The places I photographed today, I wonder what kind of charm they will exude at night?

That’s all for today. Bye!
