Chongqing Kuixing Tower is located in Yuzhong District, Chongqing. Kuixing Tower, also known as Kuixing Pavilion, was a place in ancient times where scholars prayed and made wishes. It has a history of more than two hundred years.
It is one of the most popular check-in spots in Chongqing. The first floor is a plaza, and when you take the elevator to the rooftop on the twenty-second floor, it is also a plaza, making it impossible to tell which level of the horizon you’re actually standing on. At the same time, this is also a filming location for the movie Better Days, so you can take the same style of photos here!
Here are two overpasses perfect for photo ops. Stand on the bridge and point your camera downward to capture the vertical lanes and the sense of depth below, while also framing the residential buildings on either side of the bridge—evoking the dense, urban beauty reminiscent of “Chungking Express.”
