In Chongqing we visited the Hugang Guild Hall – one of the few buildings to survive WWII. It is beautifully decorated and has life sized figures in various displays reflecting life during the Qing Dynasty. It has an Opera Hall and temple as well as a Guild Hall inside as well. The temple is in honour of the first emperor – Yu, who built the first dam to control destructive flooding of the rivers. We saw artists doing more snuff vase painting as well as leaf painting of Bunyan tree leaves. This attraction is well worth a visit as it is so interesting and unlike many places, is not overcrowded.See more..
4.0Gele Mountain Bai Mansion(60 reviews) - Baigong Guan Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings
Quite fascinating and very sad. This prison held members of the Communist Party who were then tortured and murdered at location before and after the rise to power of Communism in China. Can see the torture chambers and dungeon-like cells the prisoners were kept in. A moving experience. Environment is a nice change to the metropolis, though it is still located quite close to Shapingba CBD. Worth the visit if you're in the area. 10 Yuan entry per person. Guided tours available but in Mandarin. There are English translations to most of the information boards. Going with someone fluent in Mandarin is of course recommended (just like most of China ;) See more..
4.0Shengshou Temple(12 reviews) - Exquisite Ancient Temple in Serene Location Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites
I absolutely enjoyed coming here but then what's not to love about a buddhist temple. With visitors quietly going about their prayers, candles burning in the sand pits, incense wafting and the soft sounds of women chanting, it was a serene and beautiful place to spend some time. There was nothing hurried about the place and indeed, aesthetically, there were so many opportunities for beautiful photographs one should visit here with an open mind and just let the experience wash over you rather than rush in and just 'look, snap and go'. It is a functioning temple after all so you will get the best experience by soaking in the atmosphere! It was a cold, drizzly, misty day but that actually enhanced our visit. Thank goodness the Cultural Revolution left this one intact.See more..

4.0Tongnan Big Buddha Temple(2 reviews) - Absolutely beautiful Wednesday: 7:00 AM - 6:30 PM Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites
I've been there twice. Both times the Buddha was being re-gilded, but it is still beautiful to see. The temple is really peaceful and has some excellent natural curiosities like the singing steps and the man and lady of the temple on the cliff face. Lovely place to visit, thoroughly recommended. * I actually visited in 2010 and 2011.See more..
