What travel creators are saying about this spot

Kuixing Building in Chongqing offers a distinctly surreal atmosphere, as highlighted by Mila, who describes the experience as "surreal" due to the building's unique architectural design. This sentiment is echoed by Nav and Shish, who found the place both amusing and surprising, especially appreciating how it cleverly facilitates movement up steep elevations without the need for stairs, making navigation smoother in the city's famously hilly terrain.

When it comes to visitor impressions, opinions vary notably. While Nav and Shish praise the building’s practical aspect, Overkill Singapore offers a more critical perspective, labeling Kuixing Building as a "Tai Lei" spot—essentially a place not recommended for tourists. They find the experience confusing because the entrance at street level suddenly places visitors on the 22nd floor, which they feel disrupts the visitor’s sense of orientation due to Chongqing’s layered architectural style. This contrast highlights how the building's unconventional design can either charm or disorient visitors depending on their expectations.

Overall, most creators agree that Kuixing Building is an intriguing example of Chongqing’s unique urban landscape, though its appeal seems to depend largely on what visitors seek—whether it’s an architectural curiosity or a straightforward tourist destination. While its innovative design and ease of access up steep terrain are praised, some caution that it may not be worth a special trip if one is unfamiliar with or unprepared for its unusual layout.
