FAQ
How to Get to Chongqing?
✈️ By Plane
Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (CKG) is the main airport, located about 21 km northeast of the city center.
- International Flights: There are direct routes from various international destinations, including parts of Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania.
- Domestic Flights: It connects to most major Chinese cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Xi’an.
- Airport to City: The most convenient way to get downtown is the Metro. Line 10 connects directly to the city center, and Line 3 also serves the airport . A taxi to downtown (like Jiefangbei) costs around ¥50-80.
🚄 By High-Speed Train
If you are already in China, the high-speed rail network is an excellent option. Chongqing has several major stations, but Chongqing North Station and Chongqing West Station are the most important for travelers.
- From Chengdu: Only about 1 to 1.5 hours.
- From Xi’an: Roughly 5 hours.
- From Kunming: About 4.5 to 5 hours.
- From Shanghai: Takes about 10-12 hours.
Station to City:
- Chongqing North Station is often recommended for tourists as it has direct metro access (Lines 3, 4, 10, and Loop Line) and is closer to core scenic spots like Jiefangbei and Hongyadong.
- Chongqing West Station is connected to Metro Lines 5 and Loop Line.
🚌 By Long-Distance Bus
This option is generally best for short trips from neighboring provinces like Sichuan or Guizhou, though high-speed trains are usually faster and more comfortable. Buses arrive at stations like Chongqing North Railway Station South Plaza Bus Station or Chenjiaping Bus Station.
To help you plan your arrival, it’s useful to know that the Metro is generally the best way to get around the city itself, especially since it connects directly to both the airport and train stations.
What's the year around temperature in Chongqing?
Chongqing has a humid subtropical climate with four distinct seasons and an annual average temperature of around 17–19°C. The weather is generally manageable year-round, making it a practical place to settle in for Chinese language study.
Mild Winters, Comfortable for Focused Learning
Winters (December–February) are mild, with average temperatures around 4–8°C and little to no snow. This means you can comfortably attend classes, explore the city, and practice Chinese with locals without extreme cold interrupting your routine.
Warm Summers with Indoor Study Options
Summers (June–August) are hot and humid, with highs often above 35°C. However, this is not a barrier for students — Keats in Chongqing is air-conditioned. The heat also encourages a slower pace, which can actually support intensive indoor study and language practice.
Pleasant Spring and Autumn
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are the most comfortable seasons, with moderate temperatures and pleasant conditions. These months are ideal for practicing Chinese outside the classroom — chatting with locals in parks, joining language exchange meetups, or simply navigating the city.
Rain and Fog: Part of the Experience
Chongqing receives moderate rainfall, mostly in summer, and is known for its foggy days, especially in autumn and winter. While this may seem gloomy, it doesn’t disrupt daily life or study schedules. Many students find the misty atmosphere adds to the city’s unique character and makes indoor study time feel cozy and focused.
Year-Round Suitability for Language Learners
With no extreme cold and manageable heat, Chongqing offers a climate that supports a consistent study routine throughout the year. The weather rarely forces long disruptions, and the city’s infrastructure — air conditioning, heating, and covered walkways — is well adapted to its climate. For students of Chinese, this means more time learning and less time worrying about the elements.
