Chengdu · 3 nights
Chongqing · 3 nightsChengdu to Chongqing: tea tables and river lights
Panda mornings and tea in Chengdu, then Chongqing’s hillside hotpot and riverfront nights.
Why this itinerary works
Start with Chengdu’s panda morning and tea-table pace; finish with Chongqing’s steep streets and riverfront.
A clear train day leaves time to check in before your first evening by Chongqing’s river.
Three nights in each city give Chengdu’s tea-and-food rhythm and Chongqing’s riverfront nights equal room.
The itinerary
Chengdu East (成都东) → Chongqing North (重庆北)
About 70–90 minutes aboard; the hotel-to-hotel move needs at least half a day.

3 nights · Jiefangbei, near a metro entrance
