In addition to the spicy and delicious food, my previous impression of Chongqing was the hot light rail crossing on the Internet and the beautiful scenery of Hongya Cave in the realistic version of Spirited Away. When I really landed in this city, I found that its unique charm is far more than that.
Everyone says that Chongqing, a mountain city, is an 8D magical three-dimensional city. I deeply felt this on the first day I came here. The first floor here may not be the first floor, and the road ahead may not be in front of you. When I walked from Jie Fangbei to Hongyadong, I thought I was on the first floor. When I looked down, I found Hongyadong standing under my feet. I was already standing on the 11th floor. Such a sense of height difference really makes me, a person who has stayed in the plain for a long time, unable to help but sigh its magic.
although it is in the downtown bustling business district, it is also a slope. The navigation shows that there are still 2 meters to the destination, and you should walk at least 1 kilometer up and down the steps. Sometimes even the navigation will follow you and get lost. Probably because I need to climb a hill when I go out every day and exercise by the way, I seldom see fat people in Chongqing.
in this city, I admire the taxi master most. First-class driving skills can take you flying in minutes, whether it's uphill or downhill, alley or tunnel, you can shuttle freely, and it seems that you have experienced a ups and downs life. Chongqing is the most populous city in China, and the roads are narrow and congested, so taxi drivers can always go all the way. When I met an older master, I had an interesting conversation with Trump, which made me feel the enthusiasm of the people in Shancheng when I first arrived.
Just when I was planning to go to Chongqing, the film Better Days was released, and the location of Chongqing was searched again. Many people rushed to punch in the city for the film. I saw a report that nearly 1 film and television dramas were filmed in Chongqing in 218 alone. The complex terrain and historical changes here all contain the possibility of countless stories.
this time, I also followed the trend and punched in several movie locations. The rooftop in the movie Passing Through Your World is located in Erling No.2 Factory, which used to be the banknote printing factory of the Central Bank during the Republic of China. The dilapidated old factory building has now been transformed into a fresh literary landmark. Looking at the distance from the rooftop, there are many high-rise buildings, and standing on a high place overlooking the city, I silently think: Maybe all kinds of stories are being staged in these buildings every day.
The Yangtze River cableway is a unique "bus in the air" in Chongqing, connecting the north bank and the south bank. Now it has become a city card and a "darling" under the lens of many directors. While waiting in line, I saw a whole wall plastered with movie posters that had been filmed here, such as Crazy Stone, chongqing blues, Beijing new york and so on.
In addition, during this trip, I also arranged a day to visit the Tiansheng Third Bridge and Ground Fissure Scenic Area in Wulong, Chongqing. The spectacular karst landform shows the wonders of nature, and it is also the location of "Golden Flower in the City" and "Transformers 4". Surrounded by cliffs, surrounded by mist and mist, it is a natural martial arts drama photography base.
In Chongqing, there is another thing that impressed me deeply. There are many marks of the old city and it is full of fireworks. There may be an old building with stains between modern buildings, and vendors selling cats and dogs can also be seen on the roadside in the city center. The special "great" group in Chongqing has not disappeared in the process of urbanization, and they are still living hard with their own hands, shoulders and a great stick. Half the city is full of fireworks, half is a modern metropolis, and the blending of the old and the new makes the city more profound.
Old streets are the soul of a city. As soon as I got out of the Yangtze River cableway, the three golden characters "Longmen Hao" attracted me. Surrounded by colorful graffiti walls, next to the giant graffiti is a typical old residential building in Chongqing. Longmenhao Old Street is the best preserved and largest historical and cultural old street in the main city of Chongqing. During World War II, the American Embassy, the American Embassy Bar and the Italian Embassy all settled here. It must be a treasure trove.
The heritage buildings here have been restored in the same way as the old ones. Walking in the old streets seems to be full of historical memories, and the history, humanities, events, folk customs and legends stored in this city are all displayed in front of us. I think the best way to know a city is to walk its old streets.
The trip to Chongqing ended in a hurry, which left me with not only delicious hot pot noodles, but also more novel places. My shallow and pale words are far from enough to describe its charm. I believe everyone who travels here will have different experiences and feelings.
