Things to See
A Journey Through Time

Your adventure begins in the exhibition hall, showcasing the past, present, and future of Chongqing. This immersive experience sets the stage for what’s to come.
As you walk through the mesmerizing hallways, you might feel a delightful sense of disorientation, as if you’re travelling through a time capsule that propels you into the future. The anticipation builds as you approach the elevator—a marvel of engineering that whisks you to a height of 270 meters in just a few seconds. That’s like ascending 70 floors in the blink of an eye!
Step Into the Crystal Hall
Once the elevator doors slide open, you’ll step into the magnificent Crystal Hall, where trees have been thoughtfully incorporated into the design. Can you imagine how these trees feel, standing so high above the ground? One might wonder if they experience altitude sickness or if they thrive in this lofty environment.
As you exit the Crystal Hall, you officially enter the observation deck, and the thrill intensifies. Here, a glass floor awaits—one of the best parts of the entire experience. You can see right beneath your feet, a heart-pounding view that will test your courage.
From the exploration deck, on your right, you will see the Urban Planning Exhibition Hall, Riverside Landmark Shopping Center, and the iconic Clock Tower on Nanbin Road.
On your left, you will glance at Chongqing’s Grand Theater and Chongqing Science and Technology Museum.
