    Option 2: 4-hours Chongqing Walking tour of the Huangge Ancient Road. It is one of Chongqing’s most scenic and historic trails, dating back to the Tang-Song dynasties. This tranquil 2-3 km flagstone path winds through lush Nan’an District, shaded by centuries-old banyan trees (Ficus virens, locally called "Huangge"). Once a vital Tea-Horse Road segment linking Sichuan and Guizhou, it now offers a gentle 3 hour hike with modest elevation gain—perfect for light explorers. Along the way, pass Ming-Qing era stone carvings, hidden temples, and nostalgic tea houses, all while enjoying skyline glimpses of the Yangtze River. The trail ends near Nanshan’s viewpoints, where you can refuel with local mountain cuisine. A serene escape blending history, nature, and urban vistas.
