What is special about Chongqing?

It is a 3D mountain city built on cliffs — roads loop over buildings, and the skyline rises in tiers above two rivers. Hongyadong's stilt houses lit up at night look like a real-life Studio Ghibli scene.

Can you take us to the Dazu Rock Carvings?

Yes — the Dazu Rock Carvings (UNESCO) are about 1.5 hours west. We can do them as a full-day charter; ask for the day-trip rate.

Is Chongqing good for food?

It is the home of Chongqing hotpot — spicy, numbing and delicious. Our driver will take you to local hotpot joints rather than tourist traps.

How much does it cost?

Private city car starts from $80 for a sedan (1-3), $120 for a GL8 (4-6), $200 for a V-Class (7-8). Cable car and meals are paid locally.

How is Chongqing connected to Chengdu?

Chengdu and Chongqing are ~1.5 hours by high-speed train. Many guests combine the two — we can arrange the car in each city or a through transfer.

Chongqing City Private Tour | Private Car

Chongqing is China's 'mountain city' — a vertiginous metropolis stacked on cliffs above the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers. Highlights include the night-glowing stilt houses of Hongyadong, the ancient porcelain port of Ciqikou, the Yangtze River Cable Car, and a rooftop skyline viewpoint at sunset.

Chongqing's hills and layered roads make taxis confusing; a private car with a driver who knows the city's maze of bridges and tunnels is the easy way. From $80 for a half or full day.
