“My parents visited me in Chongqing for my first Spring Festival in China. The day of, I showed them around the tip of the peninsula, including the Chaotianmen and Jiefangbei areas. The photo captures them at the northern end of the Qiansimen Bridge, which is closed to auto traffic for holidays so pedestrians can appreciate the city lights (including from the famous Hongya Cave) from a closer distance.”
