Walking trails in Chongqing have been preserved and turned into sightseeing routes. [Photo by Tan Yingzi/China Daily]

Along the road, you can overlook the Yangtze River, visit several historical sites and pass by the houses of local residents. When weather permits, people play mahjong or poker by the trail, or sit down and chat with neighbors.

French Benevolence Hall is perhaps the oldest western structure in Chongqing. It used to be a charity hospital, established by the French in 1902. But in 1944 it was turned into a wartime Chinese traditional medicine hospital. The beautifully-designed building, however, is now almost in ruins and at the remote splendor of its original site visitors are left to ponder happier, grander times.

There are several historical buildings from the World War II era. At Kang Jian Hall, built in 1941, a lot of modern dramas were put on to inspire local people facing imminent invasion by the Japanese. As government officials, warlords and landlords moved to Chongqing during wartime, they built homes in the city and most of them copied western-style houses. Like Hou Lu, a house that used to belong to a warlord.

There is a tiny traditional hotpot place along the trail which only opens at evenings. The kitchen is indoors and two tables are placed just on the road. You can enjoy the stunning night view of the city while eating your hotpot.

Or you can just sit idly in the pavilions, taking in the sunset on the Yangtze River. That exquisite choice is yours.
