Chongqing Favorites

Favorite thing: Chongqing's weather is very warm. In winter it hardly ever gets below 0 C. In summer it is very, very hot and humid. Most of the year Chongqing is covered with fog, which is not so much from air pollution but from the humidity of the surrounding rivers and lakes.

Favorite thing: Chongqing is the city, where you start your Yangzi River Cruise. There are now many modern and luxurious cruise ships. But the river is still mainly used by the local poeple for transportation. When you take a local ship that is still a big adventure!

Favorite thing: The Luo Han Si Temple has a few interesting items in it. I wouldn't make a special trip here though. I still have the ticket glued to my Journal. I didn't write down how much it cost to enter. I also wrote down that I thought the Clay Buddhas had a tacky look to them...But I cannot picture them in my mind!

Favorite thing: From Wandering around I kept find areas that had small markets selling all kinds of food ingredients. Turtles, snakes, various innards of who knows what. Looked like some pretty tasty ingredients for the wonderful Sichuan food that is made in the area!!

Favorite thing: You must have a walk through some streets, especially Ciqikou, which means a port for china transporting. It is the most acient part of the city. Those long steps easily seen in this city are also known as one of its features. Since the city is very bumpy, no plain (Even today's road is constructed by explosing rocks and hills) or broad road could be designed in the past, the steps reaching both rivers play a extremely role. Most of the long steps can be seen in the current city center.

Fondest memory: It is said "The city is a mountain, and the mountain is a city". It mixes the prosperity of a city and splendid scenery of a mountain. You never imagine that this unique landscape is easily to see in another city.

Fondest memory: Is this picture portraying a monument of inefficiency or overpopulation? This Chinese policeman, and many more like him, controls traffic at one of a dozen "human light stops" at Chongqing. This hilly city is a good base camp for a journey to the soon-to-be immersed Three Gorges down the Yangtze River.

Favorite thing: Chongqing has so many things to see, the night piece, the traditional culture, the diet, the Chuang opera........

Fondest memory: Standing by the river in the foggy evening, or walk down the flagging, the feeling is wonderful!

Favorite thing: please remind yourself when visiting Chongqing, the most important thing you should do is to taste the famous chongqing hot-pot cuisine. there will be various tasty to suit your flavour. whatever you prefer, you can find one good for you at least, i promise.
and if you are available on having time, you should go to Fuling district, spicy-fish-fried is extremely unique!

Fondest memory: chongqing is my parents' hometown. i spent my childhood there. i love those delicious food very much!
