Daijiaxiang Cliff Path can be reached via a short walk from Xiao Shen Zi Station of line 6 and 1. It is right next to Hongya Cave. We recommend to take the metro, as driving a car to central Chongqing is madness.

Daijiaxiang Cliff Path (戴家巷崖壁步道)
If you are on a trip to Chongqing China, this is probably one of the best places you can go to. It is close to the infamous Hongyadong, it is very very beautiful, has lots to see and yet is less crowded. Mainly due to the tourist busses not stopping there.
In short: Its basically a cliff, which on top has many coffee shops, hostels, bars and local restaurants. Combine this with a bunker tunnel, that leads down to the river promenade, and at the same time is filled with even more modern shops, drinks and snack stalls.
If you want to move up and down without any LED signs asking you to buy an ice tea or Chinese fashion, you can also walk the wooden starts up or down that are built on the side of the cliff. Chongqing tourism is all about going up and down some road, tunnel or stairs.
The Daijiaxiang Cliff Path, near Chongqing’s Hongya Cave, is a 750-meter walkway climbing 60 meters along a cliff. It offers clear views of the Jialing River and the Jiangbeizui Central Business District, showcasing Chongqing’s distinctive terrain.
An interesting feature in this area is the Daijiaxiang Cliff Park Bomb Shelter Pedestrian Trail. This path transforms a World War II bomb shelter into a public walkway. Located in the below the cliff walk, the 320-meter tunnel descends 30 meters. It stands about three meters tall and is three to four meters wide. This adaptation is part of Chongqing’s effort to preserve historical spaces while giving them modern uses.
The combination of the cliff path and the pedestrian trail offers a unique mix of natural views and historical elements. Visitors can enjoy a walk along the cliff, see Chongqing from an elevated perspective, and explore the reimagined bomb shelter, showing how the city creatively uses its history and environment.
