Chongqing
China
Chongqing is built vertically on mountains between the Yangtze and Jialing rivers — Hongyadong's glowing stilt-tower stack, the monorail threading through an apartment block at Liziba, Ciqikou's old-town lanes, and hotpot so fierce the city eats it year-round. Wulong's karst gorges make the standout day trip.
