Things to do and eat in Chongqing, China

《A Wonderful Trip to Chongqing》 Hey, friends! I went to Chongqing some time ago. It's really an amazing place. Chongqing is the only municipality directly under the central government in the central and western regions. It's a huge place with an area of 82,400 square kilometers. As soon as I arrived there, I felt the bustling atmosphere. There are so many people in Chongqing. I heard that the permanent resident population is 32.133 million. And here, not only are there Han people, but also many friends from ethnic minorities such as Tujia and Miao. It feels very ethnic. Speaking of Chongqing's history, it has more than 3,000 years. It is the birthplace of Bayu culture. I visited Dazu Rock Carvings. Wow, those rock carvings are so exquisite. People can't help but admire the craftsmanship of the ancients. The China Three Gorges Museum and the Chongqing Hongyan Revolutionary History Museum also gave me a deeper understanding of Chongqing's history. Chongqing's natural scenery is also excellent. It is a mountain city and also a river city. There are many mountains and rivers. I went to Jinyun Mountain and Jinfo Mountain. The scenery on the mountain is extremely beautiful and the air is particularly fresh. Standing on the mountain and looking down, the scenery is really intoxicating. Moreover, the Yangtze River and Jialing River are also very spectacular. The river water is sparkling. Chongqing's economy is also very developed. It is an important industrial base and transportation hub. Walking on the street, you can see high-rise buildings and prosperous commercial streets everywhere. Industries such as automobiles, electronics, and chemical industry here are all very powerful. However, if I have to say what I like the most, it has to be Chongqing's cuisine. Hot pot is a must-eat. The bright red pot bottom, with all kinds of delicious dishes, the taste is simply amazing. There is also Xiaomian. Having a bowl in the morning will make you energetic all day. Spicy chicken is also very delicious. The chicken is fragrant and spicy, and it's very enjoyable to eat. I also went to many tourist attractions. Hongyadong is very beautiful at night. It is brightly lit, just like a castle in a fairy tale. Jiefangbei is also very imposing. It is a landmark building in Chongqing. Wulong Three Natural Bridges also opened my eyes. The uncanny workmanship of nature is really amazing. In short, this trip to Chongqing is really great. I had a great time and ate a lot of delicious food. If you have a chance, you must go to Chongqing and see. I believe you will also fall in love with this charming city.#china #chongqing

Just touched down in Chongqing and went straight for the insane ancient art vibes at Dazu Rock Carvings — this UNESCO gem totally lives up to the hype! 😍🪨 Must-See Place: Dazu Rock Carvings Address: Baoding Mountain Stone Carving Scenic Area, Baoding Town, Dazu District, Chongqing Opening hours: 9:00–18:00 (Last ticket and entry by 17:00) Entry fee: 110 yuan Tip: If you’re coming from downtown Chongqing, do what I did — grab a taxi for about 400 yuan roundtrip. It’s seriously worth it for the convenience (especially if you’re not feeling the local bus adventure). Best time to visit? Right now! The weather’s chill so you skip the blazing summer heat and can actually enjoy the outdoor walk without melting. Dazu Rock Carvings are packed with thousands of Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian sculptures carved over centuries. The scale and detail are wild — brush up on some history before you go, or just take a guided tour for all the legends behind each statue. Getting around: Taxis are fast, comfy, and easy in Chongqing. Always have your destination written in Chinese for drivers. Food: Snack game strong — bring some water and munchies because the onsite options are limited. There are small restaurants near the scenic area if you want local eats after. Insider tips: – Buy tickets early to avoid lines – Arrive by late morning for fewer crowds – Cash and mobile pay both accepted – Bring sunblock and hats even if it’s cooler #Chongqing #DazuRockCarvings #TravelChina #TripTips

The car rental experience was great. The car was very clean and had no odor. It was October when we came to Chongqing, but it was very hot. The air conditioner was on throughout the trip.
