How to visit
Red Rock Village main gate (No.52 Hongyan Village, Yuzhong District, Chongqing; Hualongqiao area).
Finish Hongyan Revolutionary Memorial Hall with one slower gallery or the shop, then leave through the signed exit and check the transport note before heading back: Use rail transit plus walking or a licensed taxi, and navigate with the Chinese entrance name because Chongqing has major elevation changes.

Best time
Arrive early after the weekday 9:00 opening to dodge tour-group peaks.
Foreigner notes
Not required.
Free venue, no ticket payment; no public info on paid items in the park.
No public English website/English-tour info found; the exhibits cover the history of the CPC Southern Bureau and the Eighth Route Army's Chongqing office, with English captions unknown.
Search 红岩革命纪念馆 with its address rather than relying on a city-level result; the entrance is the useful destination.
The current official notice confirms reservation-free entry, but it does not by itself confirm a foreign-passport online workflow because there is no current online booking.
Avoid these mistakes
The Red Rock Museum is a multi-site complex (Hongyancun, Zengjiayan No.50, Guiyuan, Geleshan, Teyuan), easy to mix up. This target is the Red Rock Revolutionary Memorial (No.52 Hongyan Village); Zengjiayan No.50 and Guiyuan are on Zhongshan No.4 Road and Geleshan is in Shapingba—schedule them separately.

Items to reconfirm
- The notice mentions 'valid ID' gate scanning without listing passports separately; whether foreign passports scan in or need manual registration is unconfirmed. — Test the on-site turnstile or consult the Red Rock Museum WeChat account/service desk.
- 09:00–16:30 is the Chongqing government page's hours; leads say entry stops at 16:00, Tue–Sun (implying Monday closed), but the official doesn't state whether the Red Rock Revolutionary Memorial closes Mondays. — Confirm via the WeChat account or phone.
- The specific open courtyards/exhibit order in the park weren't individually verified (only the official total of 25 sites). — The on-site guide map.
