When the sun sets over southwest China’s Chongqing, the historic Hongya Cave transforms into a glowing masterpiece. Once an ancient city gate, this riverside landmark now dazzles visitors with its mix of neon-lit modern design and traditional Bayu architecture. 🏮
Stretching 11 stories tall along the Yangtze River, the structure’s cascading terraces and golden lights mirror the city’s mountainous landscape. Night markets buzz below with spicy hotpot aromas, while tea houses offer a taste of old Chongqing—a perfect blend of past and present. 🌆
Locals say the view from nearby Qianximen Bridge is 'like stepping into a fantasy film.' Pro tip: Visit during the Blue Hour for Instagram-worthy shots of purple skies meeting amber-lit corridors. 📸
