Chongqing Motorcycle Shoot: Your Questions
Most people arrive here with the same handful of questions before they book. Does the cheaper package include the ride? What time does it run, and where do you meet? This page gathers those answers in one place. The homepage carries the full tour rundown, so treat this as the quick version, grouped by topic: packages, booking and price, then time and place.
What Each Package Includes
Which package puts you on the bike for a ride?
The video package is the one with the ride. You sit pillion while the camera rolls, and that moving footage is the whole point of it. The photo package includes no ride at all. In the operator's own words, it is a shoot without the motorcycle moving, built around posing with the bike on Nanbin Road. That photo package is also the one the published from-price belongs to, so the lower figure you see quoted covers the stills-only option rather than the ride.
What files do you get back afterward?
Each package returns one finished product. The photo package sends all the unretouched negatives plus nine retouched photos, so you keep the raw take and get a polished set on top. The video package returns a single edited video running 25 to 35 seconds. No stills are promised with the video option, so if you want photographs of the session you either book the photo package or plan to grab frames from the footage yourself.
Is there an age limit for either package?
The video package is 18 and over, which makes sense given you ride pillion through evening traffic on a live road. The photo package states no age limit. If you are booking for someone younger, the stills-only option is the one that fits, and it is worth telling the operator in advance so they can plan the shoot around it.
Booking, Price and Cancellation
What does the motorcycle shoot cost?
The listing runs from about $52.85 per person, which reflects the lower-priced of the two packages on offer. Treat that figure as a starting point rather than a fixed rate, because the live price moves around it and the higher-tier package sits above it. The current number is always shown on the live booking page, so check there before you commit. Cancellation is free, so if the price shifts or your plans change you are not locked in.
Does one booking cover one person or two?
One booking covers one person. Both packages are sold per person, so a couple or a pair of friends who each want their own shoot need two separate bookings. If you are travelling together and only one of you wants the ride, that person books the video package and the other can book the photo package, or simply tag along to watch.
Can you cancel if your plans change?
Free cancellation is offered on the listing, which is useful given how often travel plans in China shift at short notice. No cut-off time or cancellation window is published, so do not assume a specific deadline. Read the terms on the live listing before you book, since that is where the exact conditions, and any refund timing, are spelled out.
Session Time and Meeting Point
How long does each person get in front of the camera?
The session runs from 18:30 to 22:00, and there is no daytime slot at all. This is an evening product by design: the Yuzhong skyline across the water only really performs after dark, when the towers light up. The 22:00 end is not a preference of the operator. It reflects a road rule for two-wheeled motorcycles on that stretch of Nanbin Road, which keeps the riding window inside the evening hours.
Where on Nanbin Road does the photoshoot meet?
The meeting point is Nanbin Bell Tower Plaza, on Nanbin Road in the Nan'an District on the south bank of the Yangtze. From there you look straight across the water at the Yuzhong peninsula skyline, which is the backdrop the whole session is built around. The exact spot on the plaza is confirmed with you after booking, so check your messages before heading out. Nanbin Road has become a busy stretch for this kind of shoot, and other crews often work the same road, so the confirmed meeting detail matters more than the general address.
Does the ride pass Hongyadong or the famous sights?
It does not. The session works from the south bank, looking across the water at the Yuzhong peninsula skyline, and the route stays on Nanbin Road. Hongyadong, Liziba and Chaotianmen sit elsewhere in the city, on or near the peninsula itself. From the shoot location they read as part of the lit backdrop across the river, not as stops on the ride. If you want to visit them up close, plan that as a separate outing on another day.
