Chongqing is a mountain city, and the mountain path is the only city path that can be taken. Different from the small streets and lanes in most cities, there are many steps up and down the mountain path, which is called "ladder ridge" by the locals.
The most typical is the third walk in Chongqing. Located on the south slope of Yuzhong Peninsula, it passes through Zhongshan Hospital (the former Legislative Yuan of Kuomintang government), Kangjiantang, Bodhi King Kong Pagoda, the former site of French Renai Hall and the suspended plank road from north to south, with a total length of1.748m..

Introduction of mountain scenic spots
Chongqing has walked out of many scenic trails since ancient times. Today's trails have been maintained, and the true nature of hiking in the old mountain city has added modern elements, connecting historical culture with modern landscape, fitness and sightseeing, forming the local characteristics and tourism brand of Chongqing. Follow all the' trails', step up (down), walk slowly, and enjoy the beautiful scenery up and down, which is pleasing to the eye and refreshing.
There are many trails in downtown Chongqing, and the most distinctive one is the third trail in Chongqing. This is the longest historical road with a great slope. The third step in the mountain city is from Guanyinyan to Zhongxing Road via Shibanpo. Along the way, Kangjiantang, Bodhi King Kong Pagoda, First Water Plant Pagoda, Ancient City Wall, Renaitang, Houlu Shikumen, Shancheng Lane and other historical attractions with unique old Chongqing flavor are strung together.
Among them, in the Shibanpo section, a suspended plank road with a considerable river view was built on the cliff. Beside the Yangtze River, beside the ancient wall of Jintangmen, it is built on the mountain. On the plank road, you can have a panoramic view of the south bank of the Yangtze River.
After the transformation of the ancient road, eight viewing platforms are added, which is more beautiful and practical. After the reconstruction of Shancheng Lane, the protection of old buildings has been strengthened, which has both "landscape value" and "cultural temperament". Along the hillside path, you can also walk to Tongyuanmen, a well-preserved Chongqing city gate site and modern historical park.
