Chongqing vertical city layers and hillside streets

City Impression

The part of Chongqing maps do not explain.

A short walk can mean elevators, stairs, bridges, and hidden entrances. That vertical confusion is part of what makes the city feel so different.

Planning note: do not trust the walking time on the map too much; in Chongqing, the route may be on a different level of the city.
