The best tourist season in Chongqing
The charm of Chongqing needs to be explored slowly by yourself. The contingency and inevitability of history overlap here, which makes it full of Jianghu flavor and modern civilization all the time. So, when is the best season for Chongqing to visit?
The best tourist season in Chongqing
March-May and September-October. Spring and autumn are suitable for sightseeing. The temperature is pleasant.
There is a saying in Chongqing: "The temperature is unstable in early spring, hot and rainy in summer, cool and rainy in autumn, warm and snowy in winter." Chongqing is one of the cities with the shortest sunshine time in China. The rainy season is concentrated in summer and autumn, especially the night rain, which is called "evening rain"; It is foggy from late autumn to early spring.
therefore, relatively speaking, the temperature in spring and autumn is more suitable, so you can enjoy sightseeing. Recommended visits: Dazu Stone Carving, Simian Mountain, Jinfo Mountain, fairy mountain, Jinyun Mountain, Fengdu, Wujiang Gallery and other scenic spots.
Although it is hot in summer, the fog is lighter than other seasons, so it is a good idea to watch the night scene. In addition to the night scene, Chongqing's other two business cards, Hot Pot and Beauty, are also at the most hearty time to taste and hope. Recommended visits: Nanshan, Eling Park, Chaotianmen Square, Jie Fangbei, Nanbin Road, Shapingba and other scenic spots.
It's cold and humid in winter, so it's very rare to bask in the sun. Tourists from the north may not be used to it, so visit indoor exhibition halls and ancient towns in the suburbs, and soak in hot springs is also a good choice. Recommended visits: Geleshan Martyrs Cemetery, People's Great Hall, Three Gorges Museum, Gongtan Ancient Town, ciqikou ancient town, Tianci Hot Springs and other scenic spots.
