Mountain City Chongqing

Chongqing

 

 

 

 

In the early morning of August 18, when I woke up feeling bored and hot, my mother secretly turned off the air conditioner. A feeling of anxiety swept through my body. He must have been locked up at home for too long. The free soul inside couldn't wait to break out of the body.

How to say,

Let’s take a quick trip!

I

friend

let's go!

 

let's go! Chongqing, here I come!

Landing in Chongqing, it was not as hot as expected

It’s fate! Chongqing suffered a once-in-50-year flood. Hongya Cave and the vicinity of were flooded, and Hongya Cave attractions were temporarily closed! ! !

Speaking of drivers, both taxi drivers and Didi drivers in Chongqing are very individual. Chatty and enthusiastic, at the end of the chat I would change my destination and go to a place I had never explored before...

The neat rows of small yellow cars below the airport are particularly impressive.

 

The buildings in Chongqing are very tall.

The old house is full of strong Chongqing flavor.

Some buildings are not even paintedto reveal the raw simplicity of the cement.

It is this original texture and the height that soars into the sky that makes people obsessed with it.

The road in Chongqing is really hard to find. The map APP is invalid most of the time, and it may take half an hour to walk the 1 kilometer marked. Uphill then downhill with little level ground. Sisters, please don’t wear shoes with heels!

These three days were mainly concentrated in Yuzhong District, Nan'an District, Jiulongpo District and Jiangbei District.

There is a light rail in Chongqing, but it’s not very easy to find. In addition, the weather is hot, so I basically use Didi to take a taxi. Taking a taxi is also very difficult. It takes 20 minutes to wait for the driver to arrive...and it may be half the time, the driver said Traffic jam or unable to find the way...

Regarding accommodation, it is best to live near Jiefangbei, with convenient transportation.

 

Chongqing · day1

 

Meet Donglan

Miao Kitchen Restaurant Yu Donglan (Jiefangbei WFC Store)

It was already noon when we arrived in Chongqing, and Yu Donglan headed straight for the Jiefangbei, hungry. The taste is good, but some dishes are oily.

Recommend green beans and potato rice, Qianjiang chicken offal, green vegetables and beef . 70 per capita.

Green beans and potato rice

By the way, every restaurant in Chongqing requires Seat fee (making the already poor families even worse off)…

 

Eling Factory No. 2 Cultural and Creative Park Factory No. 2 Cultural and Creative Park

It is a place where Internet celebrities check in. There are several good small shops, and it has a strong commercial atmosphere. A beautiful empty shell built on the impetuous Internet celebrity trend. Taking pictures is the only fun.

The second factory is the same

There are no geese in Eling

The filming location of "Passing Through Your World"

Being in a traditional museum is more attractive to me than a modern shop. Every old object in the museum tells the story of the predecessor of Eling No. 2 Factory "No. 2 Printing Factory".

 

Eling Park Eling Park

It’s too hard to go uphill! Navigation doesn't work! My mentality is a bit broken!

The terrain of Eling is higher and you can overlook the entire Yuzhong District.

Climb to the commanding height of Eling Park " Kansheng Tower " and have a panoramic view of Jiangbei, Jiefangbei, South Bank, Jialing River, and the Yangtze River, and the fog shrouds the entire city.

Geometric vortex staircase

After visiting Eling, the uphill and downhill climbs on the first day were indeed a bit overwhelming.

At about five o'clock, the sky in Chongqing showed no sign of getting dark, and we were ready to return.

 

Caiyuanba Bridge Caiyuanba Yangtze River Bridge

A good place to watch the light rail

Crown Escalator Crown Escalator at Lianglu Intersection

Passing by the Crown Escalator, I didn’t expect that only accepts cash (What is cash? Can it be eaten? I didn’t do enough homework...) 2 yuan per person per trip . I stopped and watched for a long time, looking for kind-hearted people, and finally exchanged Alipay for cash.

For me, I have never sat on such a long escalator. My companion told me that this escalator is similar to the one in Hong Kong, but the escalator in Hong Kong is much longer and makes me want to vomit.

 

Liziba Liziba [Metro Station]

The sunset train at Liziba Light Rail Station, the sunset in Chongqing can absorb people’s soul.

 

 

Jiujie Shufen Palm Treasure Chuan Chuan

Jiujie Shufen Palm Chuan Chuan Company (Times Tianjie Store)

The slightly spicy food in Chongqing is really not worth mentioning . My throat was burning and my stomach was churning when I ate it. I had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and take gastrointestinal medicine to save my life... BUT it tasted so good! ! ! ! ! The average per capita is about 60.

My mouth is already overflowing with saliva as I write this. Shufen's signature dish is available in many flavors. Trust me, all of them are delicious!

 

Chongqing · day2

 

Baixiangju Baixiangju

Along the way, my companions told me that Chongqing is really like Hong Kong, which is also a mountain city. Her fireworks, dense old communities, residents playing mahjong with cattail fans...

But when you walk into Baixiangju, an old-style residential building, you will find its unique Chongqing flavor.

▲Same camera position for "The Hidden Corner"

Life in White Elephant Curie is at a pace of 0.5 times. Travelers like me walk at a pace of 1.5 times, walking in a hurry, chasing the sunset to find a seat.

 

Mountain City Trail/Nanshan One Tree

The Shancheng Trail is just a ladder-climbing road with various small shops on both sides, so I don’t recommend it.

The original price of a tree in Nanshan is 30 yuan, and it costs 15 yuan if you show your student ID. There is really no need to go during the day. Go directly to Eling to see the panoramic view. Don’t waste your money!

 

Yangtze River Cableway Chongqing Yangtze River Cableway

The Yangtze River Cableway must be booked in advance and costs 30 yuan for a round trip. There are 55 people on one trip, which is quite crowded and hot. I heard that the Yangtze River Cableway used to be an important means of transportation between Nan'an and Yuzhong District. Later, due to too many tourists, the locals gave way.

Facing the forest, let yourself go

music, text

No one to disturb

 

Ropeway Old Noodle House

As long as you find a decent noodle shop on the streets of Chongqing, you can’t go wrong with the taste. Don’t go to a noodle shop that claims to be one of the top 100 and is loved by locals. Test it yourself and you’ll be surprised!

Sauerkraut beef noodles and Chongqing noodles

After a hearty meal and a bottle of ice-cold Arctic Ocean, it’s paradise!

Camellia oleifera

Personally, I am not too fond of this oil tea. It has a relatively light taste and is just rice porridge with toppings. My companions like it more.

 

Bread Road Bread Road (Nanping Wanda Store)

Affordable price, no internet celebrity style. Recommend pumpkin cheese crispy buns, matcha mango cheese buns, and walnut brioche (low oil and sugar).

 

Cathay Art Museum Chongqing Cathay Art Center

It's temporarily closed inside.

 

Liberation Monument People's Liberation Monument

Jiefangbei is the largest iconic business district in Chongqing. Busty business district, crowded with people, don’t want too many beauties.

 

Bayi delicious street Bayi delicious street

Guanyinqiao also has a delicious street with similar contents, just choose one. Recommended are Youlai Hot and Sour Noodles, Jin Bang Title, Sour Cow, Leshan Bobo Chicken, and Xiaopao Freshly Fried Crispy Pork. Come with an empty stomach and walk with a full stomach.

 

Chongqing · day3

Laojie glutinous rice dumplings Laojie glutinous rice dumplings (Hongyadong store)

Blow up the glutinous rice balls , they are so sweet, you must try them! ! ! I think the hand is more average, with thicker skin and less meat.

 

Chongqing's Great Hall of the People Chongqing's Great Hall of the People

The Great Hall of the People and the Three Gorges Museum face each other from a distance. You cannot enter the Great Hall of the People.

 

Three Gorges Museum Chongqing China Three Gorges Museum

There are various small museums in the Three Gorges Museum, which are rich in content and free.

Be sure to bring your original ID card and make an appointment in advance. Entry is prohibited at 4:30 and the museum closes at 5:00.

The temporary exhibition hall on the first floor recently had a special exhibition - The Lost Kingdom of Gold, which ended on September 15th.

Silver Star Mall, a holy place for taking photos

The check-in point in the picture is a new landmark photo check-in point in Chongqing discovered by the Japanese photography master.

The location is on the road between Silver Star Mall and Chaotianmen International Shoe Capital. The combination of old Chongqing and 5D mountain city creates a sense of collision between the future and reality.

 

Chunyang Old Tavern Chunyang Old Tavern (Qixinggang Main Store)

Oh my gosh, this place is going to be a hit. The pea soup is really amazing. It only costs 5 yuan. It’s a mouth-watering meal.

Others recommend Garlic white meat, brown sugar glutinous rice cake, and fresh pepper hoof flowers. The price is also super affordable, about 40 per person.

Their wine is quite sweet, so I don’t recommend it.

 

Traffic Teahouse Chongqing Traffic Teahouse

The filming location of the film crew. It maintains the style of the 1970s and 1980s, with gray and black bricks and mottled walls.

Old Chongqing people like to drink tea, chat and play chess here. 10 yuan per person.

 

 

Graffiti Street Chongqing Graffiti Street

The colors are gorgeous, the art is abstract, and it’s a great place to take photos.

 

Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts

Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts (Huangjueping Campus)

Sichuan American University is currently inaccessible to non-student teachers.

 

Guanyin Bridge Guanyin Bridge

The second largest business district after Jiefangbei, there are many locals, and of course, there are also many beauties.

Nine Streets and Nine Streets Plaza

Ninth Street is full of bars. I went to the staffroom. The atmosphere was pretty good and the drinks were fruity.

The guy and girl who are bartending are super handsome. 130 yuan per person.

 

Local old hot pot Local old hot pot

The last meal of the last night in Chongqing, hot pot!

The hot pot in Chongqing is really different from what I had before.

The numbing, spicy and aroma stimulate your taste buds and brain. Your mouth screams spicy, tears flow freely, but your hands can't stop.

Nine bowls

After a three-day and four-night trip to Chongqing, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t tired. There are so many places in Chongqing that are worth remembering for me. Although some unpleasant things happened in the middle, the mountains in Chongqing, the scenery in Chongqing, the food in Chongqing, and the atmosphere in Chongqing, I have already booked a second visit!

 

Chongqing! I want to come here a second time! wait for me!
