Chongqing has evolved from an industrial backbone into a global tourism magnet, drawing visitors with its dramatic vertical streets, neon-lit nights, and distinctive monorails weaving through neighborhoods. Since China reopened post-pandemic and eased certain travel rules, foreign arrivals have surged. The city’s new connectivity, highlighted by the vast Chongqing East high-speed rail complex, makes it easier for Southeast Asian travelers to reach this mountain metropolis. For Thai readers, Chongqing offers short-haul flight options, visa-free entry considerations, and unique experiences—from monorails threading through buildings to cliffside escalators and fiery hotpot culture—that stand apart from the typical Beijing-Shanghai circuit.
