Questions & Answers on Chongqing Travel Tips

Asked by Mimi Chi from HK | Sep. 27, 2018 22:42

i travel from Paris to HK same day connecting to Chongqing, return hk-Paris within 72hrs

paris-hkg on NOv 14
hkg-CQ NOv 15 (in 23:00)
CQ-hk-Paris Nov 17 (out 15:15)

Answered by Susan from USA | Sep. 28, 2018 20:20

Dear, I'm afraid you cannot enjoy the 72 hours visa free policy. You cannot come from HK and then return HK; you must leave CQ for the third country. So you need to change your flight or apply for the visa before you start your journey.

Lily, local Antique Shop which is located at no. 236, Renmin Road, Yuzhong District can be a good choice. They have auctions sometimes where your husband may get some nice items. Another recommendation is the Colletor Trade Market on Zhongxing Road, Yuzhong District.

May you have a good experience!

Well, according to your limited time, you are suggested to tour around Ci Qi Kou Ancient Town.
After eating breakfast and taking some rest, you can take subway line 3, get off at Lianglukou Station. Then transfer to line 1 to get to Ci Qi Kou Station, Exit 1. After arriving, walk northeast around 850 yards to arrive at the scenic area.
The duration is about 80 mins. And the ticket fare is CNY 7 per person.
In addition, the suggested sightseeing time is 4 to 5 hours. The return way is the same.
