I've wanted to go to Chongqing for a long time, first for food, and second for experiencing Bashu culture. There is no plan for this trip, so I am in a hurry. It's not time-consuming to visit Chongqing.
1, distance traveled
Because Chongqing is far away, I choose to fly, and it is the off-season of tourism, so the air ticket is also cheap. After a three-day trip to Chongqing, I understand why Chongqing can be called a mountain city.
The road in the city center is winding, and the bridge with a straight line distance of two meters may have to walk 2000 meters to reach it. The house built on the mountain walks back and forth, and the roof of someone else's house may be the sidewalk you are about to walk on.
Light rail is the lifeline of the whole city traffic. Countless stairs, elevators going up and down, buses and taxis around you all make me sigh that it is not easy to build a city here.
For safety reasons, the speed limit is almost everywhere on the road. Therefore, if you meet drivers who work overtime in Chongqing, you should be considerate.
On the way, I always joked with the local driver that I couldn't get on the road without the driving skills of the famous mountain Fujiwara Takumi in autumn. Chongqing people seem to have continued the traditional habits of mountain cities, and began to close as soon as it got dark. Soon, almost all the shops were closed.
2. About food
I have been coveting all kinds of delicious food in Chongqing for a long time, and I finally got what I wanted this time. Hot pot, noodles, mutton kebabs, ice powder, warm and sweet, first frost suppressed the summer heat, even if the temperature is over 30 degrees, it is still enjoyable.
Bayi Haochi Street, named after eating, ciqikou ancient town, the food capital hidden in the streets, and Hongyadong, the diaojiao building in traditional houses, are all paradise for eating. It's all good and cheap, but it tastes spicy.
Some people say that when you come to Chongqing, nothing can't be solved by a hot pot. If there is, then two meals. Hot Chongqing hot pot with red oil is full of butter, and the cool and spicy soup base stimulates the taste buds of your tongue.
You can eat the famous Chaotianmen Hotpot or Jiugongge in Hongyadong in the bustling Jiefang North, which is also a good choice.
3. The beauty of Chongqing
I have long heard that there are beautiful women in many places, such as Yangzhou, Hangzhou or Suzhou, but I feel that it is not worthy of the name. But Chongqing is really beautiful, which makes me feel that it can be described as a cloud of beautiful women. The streets and alleys are almost pleasing to the eye, and there are many beautiful little brothers!
The passing little orange cat also brings its own high value.
4. About the beautiful scenery
A film "Passing Through Your World" made people know Chongqing again.
The pig's head is separated from the swallow, the night scene of Jie Fangbei, which director Zhang loves, and the late Chen, Mao and pig's head are sitting on the Qiansimen Bridge, and the beer in the hot pot by the river passes by one by one, as if the movie scene reappears.
During the day, this is a lively and extraordinary folk town.
As dusk falls, the dim lights of Hongyadong in the twilight light up neatly. When you look up, the wooden diaojiao building built on the mountain looks like the bathhouse of Tang Yuyan in Spirited Away.
You can go in and look for food, but it's easy to get lost. Even a map can't help this winding building.
If you want to appreciate the prosperity of Chongqing, Jie Fangbei is a good place to go.
For Chongqing people, its status is like going to Guangzhou to see the "small waist".
You can go to Times Department Store to see the elegance of luxury ornaments, and you can also taste all the Chongqing delicacies.
After dinner, let's go for a walk by the river, and you will meet the Qiansimian Bridge on the Jialing River, a landmark in Chongqing.
Standing here, we look at Chongqing from a unique perspective. The high-rise buildings in Yuzhong Peninsula show you the vitality of the mountain city, but the bright lights in Hongyadong tell you that the old city has not been lost, and a city is telling all the stories here.
To fully appreciate the magic of "3D city", you can't miss the psychedelic transportation here. The Yangtze River cableway has always been a "network celebrity" in the hearts of foreign tourists. Although it is only a convenient means of transportation in the hearts of local people, it carries the childhood memories of mountain people.
Rail transit in other cities is inferior to that in Chongqing. Light rail and Chongqing, like hot pot and beer, are born together.
At present, the flowing river is close at hand, lining the beautiful images of high-rise buildings. After two flights to Gao Qiao, the traffic on the bridge is endless. The big picture feels the unique temperament of this city.
In addition to the light rail and the Yangtze River cableway, there is a crown escalator between Lianglukou and Caiyuanba. It has been in operation for more than 20 years, with a total length of 1 12m, a width of 1.3m and a drop of 52.7m Now it is not only a means of transportation, but also a landmark attraction in Chongqing, with a sense of the times.
Many people only hear about the spicy taste of the mountain city, but they don't know that literature and art are also one of its charms. Chuanmei, one of the eight fine arts academies in China, is a holy place for artists in Southwest China. Walking in the campus, I suddenly saw several humanoid sculptures on the building wall, which surprised almost all the people who came to Sichuan for the first time.
The graffiti street in Huangjueping outside Sichuan and the United States can not be ignored. This is a kind of "performance art" in which all the people participate. Nearly 65,438+02.5 tons of paint spilled on the exterior wall, forming a veritable graffiti street, which is unique in the world today.
If the Yangtze River cableway carries the childhood of a generation of Chongqing people, the traffic teahouse is the memory of the older generation. Nowadays, teahouses in old houses are hard to find. We walked into the original traffic teahouse, ordered a bowl of covered tea, sat on the mottled wooden stool, and listened to the old tea drinkers telling about the past lives of the mountain city.
The night view of a tree in Nanshan is the best in Chongqing. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I couldn't make it, but I went to the famous hot pot town for the first time to experience it. Does a hot pot restaurant in a small town sound a bit grandiose?
If you want to take Chongqing hot pot home, come to ciqikou ancient town. This used to be a pier, but now it has become an ancient street where eating, drinking and having fun coexist. Chongqing Xiao noodles, aged dough twists, handmade hot and sour powder, Bachun handmade Ciba, etc. It can be seen everywhere, and there are also hot pot seasonings sold while processing on the spot.
Although I overestimated my stomach and underestimated the fiery heat in Chongqing, I still felt tenderness in this fiery city. I once passed through Qian Shan, hoping to see you again thousands of miles away.
