The Chongqing Planning Exhibition Hall is highly regarded by visitors for its impressive architecture and informative displays. Reviewers describe the museum as a 'new' and 'visually appealing' space that effectively uses replicas and photos to tell the story of the city's growth. One visitor specifically noted a welcoming photo exhibition about Raffles City located in the basement level. The building itself is considered an architectural gem, with its lighting making it a standout feature of the city's night skyline. A crucial tip mentioned by guests is to double-check the location, as the gallery is situated directly across the river from some older landmarks. Overall, it is praised as a wonderful and educational experience that is well worth the visit.
