Qiansimen Bridge Urban Landscape Balcony to open
On the 26th of this month, the Chongqing Housing and Urban-Rural Construction Commission declared the official inauguration of the Qiansimen Bridge Urban Landscape Balcony. This balcony is a pivotal component of the quality enhancement project for Qiansimen Bridge, situated at the bridgehead on the Hongyadong side. It not only furnishes a novel public space for relaxation and social check-ins but also aids in efficiently managing the pedestrian flow in Hongyadong, thereby elevating the overall quality of pedestrian spaces.

Public Transportation to adjust timetable
During the holidays period, Chongqing Rail Transit (CRT) extends the operating hours of major routes, including the Loop Line, Line 1, Line 2, Line 3, Line 4, Line 6, and Line 10, with some sections prolonging service by one hour. Many lines will reduce the interval between runs to accommodate passengers' dispersal needs. Lines, such as Line 1 and Line 6, will initiate the evening peak operation mode earlier to optimize line transportation capacity, meeting the travel demands of passengers. Additionally, Chongqing Bus Lines will introduce three extra holiday night express lines. These steps allow passengers to travel more efficiently around commercial hubs and major attractions.

Temporary traffic control for better traveling experiences
To guarantee road safety and maintain orderly traffic, the traffic management department is set to enforce interim traffic restrictions at distinct times and on particular sections around Jiefangbei Commercial District and Hongyadong Scenic Area in Yuzhong District. All vehicles, barring specialized ones, will be precluded from entering the regulated zones. Traffic patrol officers will implement timely traffic management and redirection measures at various junctions to ensure smooth vehicular movement.
