The internet's most VIRAL city day & night, Chongqing (and Wushan)
What makes Chongqing the most viral city in China?
Despite being the largest city in the world by area, its rapid expansion has forced urban planning to play a game of catch-up—giving birth to the legendary “8D” cityscape.
In this video, we dive deep into the layers of Chongqing. From its cyberpunk playgrounds that feel pulled straight out from Blade Runner, to quiet ancient heritage sites hidden between skyscrapers. We ride the train that famously slices though someone’s home, then escape to discover Wushan’s untouched nature and peak red leaves season.
Join us to plan your own itinerary as we unravel the chaos, the beauty, and the impossible geometry of Chongqing!
