Description

Chongqing, a city built along the mountains, is famous for its unique architectural height differences. Here, trails play an important role in residents' daily travel. In the process of travel, the unique visual changes of trails that locals take for granted give people a sense of beauty, which deeply attracts tourists from other places. This paper attempts to integrate the aesthetic perspective into the daily travel experience, and discusses the changes in infrastructure positioning during the development of Chongqing's trails in a specific historical context, to explore its feasibility in sustainable transportation planning. Currently, the trails are one of the tourist attractions in Chongqing and a must-see spot for many tourists. The method of its renewal after the completion of the original task is discussed by comparing different landscapes of the mountain city trail. At the same time, through the improvement of aesthetics, the promotion of history and culture, and the update of equipment, the mountain city trail is closely connected with the history and history of Chongqing. It is better integrated with the urban landscape, endows it with public significance and aesthetic value, and provides a local case and a model of "beauty and sharing" for renovating mountain city trail facilities.
