Nanbin Road

Nanbin Road lies to the south of Changjiang, north of Nanshan Mountain. The night scenery of Yuzhong can be fully appreciated here. Rich in history and culture, Nanbin Road is nicknamed as “ the Chongqing Bund,” as the city was a center in ancient times and a capital in wartime.

Three Layers of Roads

Roads in Yuzhong have three layers, with each offering a distinctive landscape. One may wander along the winding road feeling sorry for a dilapidated old house and in the next instant be overwhelmed by the joy of a sea of emerald Boston ivy. A Rapid transit line goes in and out of a tall building, which can be found in nowhere but Chongqing, due to its peculiar terrain.

The second layer is worth noting, as native featured cuisine, Tea Rice, can be found here. Although the decoration might need some improvement, most of the time the restaurants are full of people.
