The Mountainous Metropolis by the Yangtze River
Chongqing, one of China’s “Four Great Ancient Capitals,” boasts a history spanning over 3,000 years. From its origins as a strategic military post, it has grown into a vital economic hub and a key player in China’s inland development.
Situated at the meeting point of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers, Chongqing’s history stretches back to the ancient Ba Kingdom and continued through numerous Chinese dynasties. During the Ming and Qing periods, it thrived as an important river port and regional administrative center. The city’s name, meaning “Double-Blessed,” was given in 1189 during the Southern Song Dynasty, highlighting its fortunate location.
Since becoming a direct-controlled municipality in 1997 (joining Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin), Chongqing has undergone rapid transformation into a major economic powerhouse. Despite this growth, it remains deeply connected to its cultural roots, with ancient temples, traditional stilt houses, and historic districts. Known for its breathtaking landscapes, fiery cuisine, and warm hospitality, Chongqing is one of China’s largest and most vibrant municipalities.

We traveled as a group of friends so we booked this small group tour to Beijing, Shanghai, Zhangjiajie and Hong Kong with PandaTourism. The Great Wall in Beijing was spectacular, and the mountains in Zhangjiajie also left us speechless. Our guides were not only fluent in English but also warm and engaging, and the local support team was quick to address any questions we had during the trip. The smooth logistics and thoughtful itinerary made this a five-star experience. Thank you Panda Tourism, we have created wonderful memories.

Traveling with two little ones isn't always easy, but Panda Tourism made it a breeze. They kept the kids entertained with fun activities, and the guides, Alex and Lulu, were so patient and flexible. Climbing the Great Wall was a highlight – the views were incredible! Highly recommend for families looking for a smooth and enjoyable trip:)

This was our first time in China, and my partner and I wanted to see as much as we could in two weeks, Panda Tourism put together the perfect itinerary. Beijing was such an amazing capital to start, and Shanghai, what a city! The mix of old and new is just fascinating, and we loved strolling through the French Concession and checking out all the little cafes and shops. It feels like Paris here. Also just amazed with the coffee culture. There are many incredibly good cafes with high quality beans. Going with Panda Tourism was great, they really cared about every little detail. They checked in with us every day to make sure everything was going smoothly, and Kris was always there to answer questions . Overall, China is very different than what you would expect, but in a good way. This trip was beyond expectations.
