Yubei 渝北区 — Gateway to Chongqing — Airport & Modern Living
Yubei is where most visitors first set foot in Chongqing — the district contains Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport, the city's main air gateway. But Yubei is much more than an airport zone.
The district has become Chongqing's preferred residential and business district, with wide boulevards, modern apartment complexes, and the massive Liangjiang New Area development. It's noticeably greener and more spacious than the old city center.
Key attractions include the Chongqing Happy Valley theme park, the Yuelai International Convention Center, and several large parks and lakes that make this the most family-friendly part of the city.
A major theme park with over 30 rides including roller coasters, water rides, and family attractions. The park is divided into several themed areas and hosts seasonal festivals (Halloween, Winter light shows). Adjacent to the Maya Beach Water Park, open during summer months.
