Going out in Chongqing History
Tucked into the mountainside, the Chongqing Opening Port Relic Park offers a unique view on Chongqing history and is a must-see among the places to visit in Chongqing. Open daily from 10:00 to 22:00, with free entry (though the exhibition hall is closed on Mondays), this park combines breathtaking riverside views with century-old architectural treasures. Each building is thoughtfully arranged along the steep terrain, providing visitors a chance to experience Chongqing’s iconic climbing stairways while walking through history. Highlights include the heritage bamboo weaving installation, a tunnel made from bamboo that connects the upper and lower parts of the park. By day, if there is sun, you will see patterns within the tunnel, and by night, glowing lanterns transform it into a stunning visual spectacle.
The park’s Chongqing Opening Port History Exhibition Hall is housed in the restored Lide Le Yangxing warehouse, a red-brick structure rich with historical significance. Inside, over 300 artifacts, photographs, and documents tell the story of Chongqing history during its opening port era. For panoramic city views, visit the open-air L4 Urban Viewing Platform, where you can sip traditional tea by day and enjoy a romantic atmosphere under glowing lanterns at night. Don’t miss the Borro Pavilion, a reconstruction of a sailor’s bar from the early 20th century, or relax at Shan Jue Cultural Boutique Inn, which blends traditional Chinese and minimalist designs for a serene retreat. Whether you’re exploring cultural exhibits or enjoying the vibrant mix of tea and nightlife, the park offers some of the best Chongqing activities in the Chongqing area.
