Day 2 of our Chongqing adventure was packed with action and lord knows how many steps ha. This city continues to blow us away with its beauty and its scale. We traveled all over Chongqing today exploring so many of its top sites with the best tour guide out there.
Unfortunately Keanu wasn't feeling too great this morning but he bounced back strong and was in great spirits by mid day. If you're coming to this city for the first time we highly suggest getting yourself a tour guide at least for a few days so you can make sure you check all the top items off your list and maybe find some unknown spots you would have never found alone. We've got 3 more days exploring so stay tuned for more beauty from China.
Chongqing’s Day 2 is a jaw-dropping whirlwind of steep streets, incredible viewpoints, and a family that keeps going. Shawn, Amanda, and their son Keanu spent the day crossing the sprawling city with an exceptional local guide, ticking off top sights and stumbling onto hidden spots most visitors miss. Even when Keanu wakes up on the wrong side, he rallies by midday, adding an honest, heartwarming beat to the adventure. With three more days still to explore, this family is just getting warmed up—and Chongqing is clearly full of surprises.

Shawn and Amanda King start day two in Chongqing by saying the city is complicated, with sides and levels, and that they strongly suggest hiring someone to show visitors around. Their guide Tao grew up in the area, shows people around full-time and speaks good English. They pick up pastries at a mall bakery, learn how a rental power bank works and try a coconut coffee from a chain called Lucking Coffee. Shawn mentions that the traffic is not bad for a city of 34 million people. They drive to a mountain Taoist temple, which Shawn says was free when they visited. They climb many stairs past wish ribbons and carved artwork, see views over the city and visit the main hall, where Tao explains the three highest gods of Taoism. After a drink at a view cafe, they eat noodles with beans and pork sauce and pork and leek dumplings in an old town. They then visit Porcelain Port ancient town, which Tao says used to produce china and porcelain for export, and the old boat port with its alleys, shops and stairs. In the afternoon they visit a mall, where Tao shows them Xiaomi and Huawei cars and a foldable Huawei phone. The video ends as they head off to see the night view of Chongqing. Their son Keanu is unwell and sleeps through much of the day.
Shawn and Amanda King spend their second day in Chongqing with a local guide named Tao and their young son Keanu. They explain why they recommend hiring a guide, then try pastries, a coconut coffee and a power bank rental. They climb a mountain Taoist temple with many stairs and wish ribbons, eat Chongqing noodles and dumplings in an old town, and walk through Porcelain Port ancient town. In a city-center mall they look at Xiaomi and Huawei cars and a foldable Huawei phone before heading out for a night view of the city.
A family spends day two in Chongqing with a local guide: a mountain temple, noodles, Porcelain Port ancient town and Xiaomi and Huawei showrooms.
Chongqing Day Trip: Mountain Temple, Porcelain Port and Xiaomi Cars
1:32 Shawn and Amanda find Chongqing complex, with sides and levels, and strongly suggest hiring someone to show you around. Their guide Tao grew up in the area, does this full-time and speaks good English.
5:02 Tao explains the rental power banks: scan the QR code, log in and press to release one. You can return it at another station, even in another city, and the rental costs about 3 or 4 yuan for half an hour.
7:47 Shawn rates a coconut coffee from a chain called Lucking Coffee 11 out of 10. He says the chain is very popular and everywhere in China, and that standard sweetness is already sweet enough.
10:18 The mountain temple was completely free, at least when Shawn and Amanda came. The beauty begins along with the steps, and tied wish ribbons are everywhere, even on the trees.
11:24 The temple climb has a lot of stairs, but the higher you go, the better the views. Shawn says the hike is not too bad, though it is much harder with a baby on your shoulders.
19:30 In the old town the group eats a typical Chongqing noodle with beans and pork sauce, plus dumplings filled with pork and leek. Shawn says the whole meal cost around 45 yuan, roughly five or six dollars.
22:51 Shawn warns that visiting Chongqing means getting your steps in. Climbing a mountain temple and then exploring the streets of Porcelain Port could be a lot, and you could spend all day there.
25:35 Behind the old boat port gate are endless alleys, walkways and shops with lots of stairs. Shawn says it is probably not the best place if you have a kid with a stroller, but the family made it work.
29:30 At the Xiaomi showroom, Tao says the Xiaomi SU7 Max starts from 300,000 yuan, after the group first guessed lower. Shawn works that out as about 43,000 US dollars.
