Through the streets of Chongqing and around some buildings, Agent 47 can move freely, but to get into the official rooms and guarded areas of the map (ICA facility, homeless shelter), you'll have to work a bit harder.

Chongqing - Shortcuts

There are 3 shortcuts and one secret passage in the Chongqing (China) level, which will greatly speed up your movement around the map, making it easier to complete each challenge.

You can activate the shortcut right after starting the mission in Chongqing (Point 39 on the map). The door can only be unlocked from the other side, and you'll get there through the alley by the boardwalk - there are 2 guards standing in front of the entrance so it's worth getting a Street Guard disguise. A shortcut that takes you across the boardwalk (River-Side Walkway) to the side entrance door of the ICA facility, which will take you to Level 0.
