Catering to both business and leisure travelers, Hyatt Regency Chongqing
is strategically located in Jiangbei District, the new central business
district in Chongqing, which is 20 minutes away from all the major
commercial and industrial zones, and a 15-minute drive to the new
Chongqing International Expo Centre, the largest exhibition center in
Western China and the second largest in China.
In the middle of the increasingly popular shopping area of
Bei Cheng
Tian Jie
(known as ‘Paradise Walk’), Hyatt Regency Chongqing is part of
a new mixed-use commercial development combining high-end offices,
luxury shopping and various dining and entertainment experiences.
Chongqing is one of the four municipalities in China (the other three
are Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin), and is the largest and the only one
located inland. Since its founding 3,000 years ago, Chongqing has been
one of the most notable places in China for fascinating history and
brilliant culture. Every year, millions of visitors, from China and
overseas come to explore the stunning scenery of the Three Gorges among
many other attractions the city has to offer. Today, Chongqing also
serves as the economic center of the upstream Yangtze area and major
manufacturing base and transportation hub for Southwest China.
