Accommodation recommendations:

In Chongqing, Jiefangbei and Guanyinqiao are the two most prosperous business districts, and the transportation is relatively It’s convenient, so I mainly recommend these two places. If you want to see the river view, you can choose to live on Nanbin Road or Beibin Road.

When I go out on my own, I usually choose to stay in a B&B. The reason is simple: it is cheaper than a hotel and more comfortable to stay in. Each B&B has a different style.

The last time I went to Chongqing, I booked a B&B on Zhuduoduo. The host was a very beautiful girl. The house was also pink and tender, and there was a big projection screen. I went there after work in the evening. Drink some wine and watch a movie, it's super comfortable and relaxing.
