Explore Chongqing with a Local Travel Guide

Hi, I’m Eden Xie, born and raised in Chongqing, China, and I create travel guides based on real on-the-ground experience in this mountain city.
Over the years, I’ve explored far beyond major spots like Hongya Cave and Jiefangbei—spending time in local neighborhoods, riverside areas, small family-run hot pot places, and viewpoints most visitors usually miss. I also regularly help friends plan their trips, which is where I first noticed how often travelers underestimate Chongqing’s terrain, distance, and transport.
Most of my advice comes from actually walking and rechecking routes myself, because in Chongqing, what looks close on a map can feel very different in real life. That’s why I focus on practical planning—how to connect places in a way that actually works, not just listing where to go.
This site is built on that experience: simple, honest, and useful travel guidance to help you avoid confusion and enjoy the city more naturally.
If you’re planning a trip to Chongqing, I can also help you design an itinerary that fits your time and travel style, so you can experience the city in a more natural and meaningful way.
