Wander the Old Alleys

by herzog63

Chongqing is a Great city to just wander. I didn't see a whole lot of "must see" places but just taking in the city is what I enjoyed! This part that is shown in the photo is a great place to wander for a day or a few hours....but be prepared for lot's of hill climbing. The hill is very steep and the streets are a jumble of ups and downs. Some of the walkways appeared to go right through peoples homes...I was lost the whole time I was wandering but had a great time..I wish I would have made more photos from the experiences but I felt funny taking my camera out and pointing it right at people...I didn't want to ruin the fun time I was having by possibly scaring anyone with my camera. I'm sure if you are in a large group it would be better to break up into smaller groups...I don't know if the people would be so welcoming to a group of 25 wandering through their kitchen!

"who is sick and what are sick?"

i had fever 39 degrees, the temperature was 41 degree ...

yrs later i drove to chongqing from chengdu, just to look up where i stayed then. that is the area called chaotianmen, jialingjiang and changjiang merges.

it is a good start-point way downstream passing thru three gorges.

three gorges reminds me that while most people aurged with ecological damgages of the dam, it seems that no one stands up to speak out - it generates clean energy by utilitizing hydro! tho i was selected to be in charge of writting up a policy chapter for a book against the dam construction while i was in the states, i finally withdrew myself from participation of such a writting workshop. i do what i feel rite and fair.
