About this place
A century-old pathway built along the cliff edge, threading past cliffside boardwalks, the ruins of the French Ren'ai Hall, and old teahouses where locals still drink babacha — with sweeping views of the Yangtze River throughout.
Drifter says
"Leave an unhurried afternoon for this one, wear comfortable shoes, and let the staircase culture of Chongqing unfold at its own pace. Look for the Cuckoo Garden and the abandoned consulate buildings along the way — almost no tourists seek these out deliberately. Coming early in the morning, when the mist is still on the river, is as close to a meditative experience as this city offers."
