Looking back, by dinner we were still comparing notes about Yaoba Old Town & Chishui River Day. That is usually how I judge whether a tour was worth doing.

The unglamorous part: the practical side was solid: an easy pickup, sensible timing between stops, and no long sales detour disguised as sightseeing. The time around Yaoba Old Town & Chishui River Day was not the part I would cut.

Stefan X.🇵🇹 Portugal★★★★★2024-07

One thing I learned: the day ran a little longer once traffic was included. I was tired at the end, but not sorry we stayed for Yaoba Old Town & Chishui River Day.

I liked this more a day later, when I looked back through my photos and realised how different Chongqing and Yaoba Old Town & Chishui River Day had felt.

In short, I would change my shoes, not the itinerary. For 10 hours around Chongqing, the pace felt about right.
