Things you must do when you come to Chongqing

1. Get up early to eat noodles

It is not too much to say that Chongqing noodles are as important as hot pot in Chongqing people's minds! In Chongqing, it is really a pleasure to eat a bowl of hot noodles on the street in the morning. There is no need for beef, just a few pieces of vegetables and a few spoonfuls of Chili oil, which is called comfort.

2. Take the light rail that passes through the building once

The light rail rushes down the mountain, emerges from the ground and passes through the middle of the building! ! ! Yes, we are not mistaken. Liziba Station of Chongqing Light Rail Line 2 is located in a 21-storey building, and nearly 11 floors above the booth are residential buildings.

3. Take the Yangtze River Cableway

The Yangtze River Cableway used to be a necessary means of transportation for mountain city residents, but now the only cableway across the river is still working. Sitting in the old cable car, watching the night view of the mountain city come and go at your feet, like a fairyland.

4. The longest escalator

Only in Chongqing can you feel the elevator, which is actually a means of transportation! The inclination angle of 31 is very characteristic of a mountain city. One end of this escalator is connected to the Crown Building, and the other end is Caiyuanba Railway Station, with a total length of 112 meters. It is one of the special means of transportation in Chongqing.

5. Visit Hongya Cave at night

Remember, you must go at night! Hongyadong is a good place to visit the old streets of the mountain city, watch the scenery of the two rivers and taste Chongqing cuisine. At night, the lights are bright and lively. Light a cup of coffee and look at the twilight by the river. Shuttling through it is like being in a comic book.

6. Wandering around Ciqikou

A must-see place for young artists in Chongqing; Find an afternoon to savor the Millennium vicissitudes of old ciqikou ancient town. Step on the bluestone road, taste the local specialties, find a teahouse with few people to set up a dragon gate array, and feel the customs of old Chongqing. Even the soil has a humanistic flavor.

7. Take a walk in Jie Fangbei

Jie Fangbei is the most prosperous business circle in Chongqing, where there are countless department stores, high-end hotels and exquisite restaurants; In the pedestrian street, you can find all kinds of western food, as small as glutinous dumplings, and you can really feel the charm of Chongqing metropolis here.

8. Pacing mountain trails

With the large-scale transformation of the old city, many mountain trails have gradually disappeared or become barren; Occasionally stroll through it, experience the wonderful sense of alternation of time and space, watch the fallen leaves lying on the side of the road, and the moss overflow the stone steps. Every trail has its own story.
