Hong Kong residents who are Chinese nationals do not use a passport or visa to enter mainland China. They use a Home Return Permit (Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents). The permit is issued through China Travel Service in Hong Kong and functions as a standalone travel document with no time limit on stays.
Non-Chinese permanent residents of Hong Kong enter the mainland on their foreign passport and may need a Chinese visa, or can apply for a 5-year multi-entry travel permit for short-term visits of up to 90 days per entry.

Chongqing's mountainous terrain means surface travel times vary significantly by destination; the elevated metro is more predictable than road travel during peak hours.
Humid subtropical climate. Chongqing is one of China's "Three Furnaces" for summer heat. Summers are hot and humid (30–38°C, June–September) with frequent rainstorms and thunderstorms that cause delays. The city sits at a river confluence and fog is endemic. Winter and early spring mornings often produce dense fog (2–12°C) that delays or diverts departures.
Overcast skies are the norm for most of the year; Chongqing averages among the fewest sunshine days of any major Chinese city. Autumn (October–November) offers the clearest weather. Pollution combined with fog can produce severe visibility reductions in winter. Pack layers for the dramatic temperature drops that occur with elevation changes in the surrounding mountains.
