Our workation journey comes to an end in Shanghai. However, if you're looking for a contrasting city experience, you're welcome to join the optional Chongqing trip.

Unlike the structured program in Shanghai, Chongqing will be a more flexible and collaborative experience — with participants planning and exploring together.
Chongqing is known for its cyberpunk-like cityscape and as the birthplace of authentic mala hot pot. Recently, it has become one of the most viral cities in China on social media. From dramatic urban scenery to unforgettable culinary experiences, Chongqing offers a completely different charm from Shanghai. It's time to discover this bold and dynamic city together.

How to Get There
You can travel from Shanghai to Chongqing by train or by plane. The high-speed train takes approximately 10-11 hours. While flights significantly reduce travel time, they are generally 2-3 times more expensive than train fares.
Cost
In Chongqing, participants are free to arrange their own schedule and accommodation according to their preferences.
