Chongqing's trending "Motorcycle Landing Visa" has become a hit short video trend on social media. It isn't an actual visa, but a captivating tourist activity involving motorcycle nightscape photography.
With Nanbin Road's dazzling nightscape as a backdrop, tourists purchase a guided motorcycle video shoot starting at just 198 yuan ($29) and leave with striking night views of landmarks like Raffles City, Ciyun Temple, and Dongshuimen Bridge.
The short videos feature the tourist riding behind a biker. They last 15 to 30 seconds and include iconic gestures and custom soundtracks. The clips are a unique memento of Chongqing's exciting nightlife, reminiscent of a Chinese version of the 2004 film Torque.
Known as China's "Motorcycle Capital", the southwestern municipality boasts a unique motorcycle industry and culture.
The trend is particularly popular among international visitors, unexpectedly bringing Chongqing's motorcycle prowess to the global stage.
