Getting Around Chongqing

The metro is fast, cheap and built into terrain that defeated the roads. Taxis are inexpensive and worth using whenever a route involves a hill. The airport is on the far side of the city from everything you came to see.

Metro between districts, walking inside them, taxis whenever a stair descent is involved.

  • Stations are deep and exits are at different levels. Choosing the right exit can save ten minutes.
  • Allow for taxi journeys if you plan to avoid hills or carry luggage.
  • Services stop earlier than in many comparable cities. Check the last train before a late plan.
