Chongqing Limited Time Check-in | The “Alien Planet” Has Emerged

When the Yangtze River water recedes, large rocks float to the surface, resembling a real-life version of Tetris, making you feel like you’re on an alien planet. These rocks are called “wave-dissipation blocks,” playing a crucial role in protecting the riverbank by reducing wave erosion. Best Viewing Season: December to April every year. How to Get There: ◉ Location: Nanbin Road Yacht Square ◉ Metro: Exit 3 at Houbao Station on Line 10 ◉ By Car: Navigate to 【Coral City Phase 2】parking lot, then walk to the riverbank. Small Tips: ◉ Footwear Suggestion: The ground is uneven, so comfortable flat shoes are recommended, and be mindful of slippery surfaces. ◉ Shooting Tips: Try various angles for your shots; both aerial and close-up shots will give you beautiful results. ◉ Timing: On clear days and at sunset, you’ll capture great light and shadow effects. While overcast skies offer a different, more moody vibe, the layers of the sky are not as distinct as on sunny days.
