Why visit here?

Mountain City Lane lets you walk through Chongqing's vertical history – where traditional stilted houses cling to cliffs, stone pathways wind along precipices overlooking the Yangtze, and every turn reveals how this city built communities on impossible slopes long before modern engineering made it fashionable.
