  1. Start before sunset at Jiefangbei

    解放碑

    Use the central pedestrian district as the meeting point, have an early meal and check the final rail route back before walking toward the river.

  2. Continue to Hongya Cave

    洪崖洞

    Follow public signs and verify the viewing level; a nearby pin may be above or below you. Crowds may be heavier on weekends and holidays, so keep moving at narrow viewpoints.

  3. Walk the riverfront toward Chaotianmen

    朝天门

    Use the connected promenade where current access allows, then finish near a rail station rather than adding a late cross-river transfer.
