Your adventure begins at the Raffles City Chongqing complex, a stunning architectural marvel designed by renowned architect Moshe Safdie. Its iconic eight curved towers are crowned by The Crystal, a 300-meter-long skybridge that has earned its fame as China's first “horizontal skyscraper” .
Upon arrival, a high-speed elevator whisks you up over forty floors in under a minute, transporting you to the Sky Deck on Level 47 . Here, a futuristic exhibition awaits, offering a glimpse into what life might be like in space, before you step out onto the main observation deck .
The highlight is stepping onto the “Cloud Walk,” a 380-meter-long open-air glass-bottomed walkway that encircles the skybridge. Walking on this transparent path at 250 meters high offers an unparalleled sensation of walking in the clouds, with the bustling city streets and the merging rivers visible directly beneath your feet . Time your visit for the late afternoon to witness the golden sunset cast its glow over the city, and stay as night falls to see the skyline transform into a dazzling sea of neon lights, making for spectacular photographs .
