The most worthwhile little money spent in Chongqing

💰The most worthwhile little money spent in Chongqing My dears👋, today I must share with you the most worthwhile small sum of money I spent when traveling in Chongqing. It really brought unexpected surprises to my entire journey✨. 🌉Spend 20 yuan to take the Yangtze River Cableway and see the scenery of the mountain city How can you miss the Yangtze River Cableway when you go to Chongqing? At first, when I took out the 20 yuan, I hesitated a little, after all, it looked like just a means of transportation to cross the river. But when the cable car started slowly, I realized that it was well worth the money! The Yangtze River is rushing beneath your feet, and high-rise buildings on both sides of the river are lined up in an orderly manner along the mountain. Looking from Yuzhong District to Nan'an District, the river is sparkling and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on your body. It feels like traveling through a flowing painting of a mountain city. The camera in your hand can't stop at all 📷, and every photo is a blockbuster that can be posted on WeChat Moments. 🎬Buy a bag of melon seeds for 5 yuan and unlock the best photo spots in Hongyadong While strolling around Hongyadong, I met an enthusiastic local uncle 🧓, who told me mysteriously that if I gave him 5 yuan for a bag of melon seeds, he would tell me a particularly cool photo spot in Hongyadong. I was skeptical at first, but I still paid the money with the mentality of giving it a try. The old man took me through twists and turns, into an inconspicuous alley, and then up a narrow flight of stairs. When I stood in the so-called "secret base", I was stunned for a moment 😮! In front of you is the unobstructed panoramic view of Hongya Cave. Cruise ships are coming and going on the river, and the bright lights are intertwined with the layers of lights in Hongya Cave, making it like a dream. I took a lot of photos there, and my friends and I cheered for a long time. The 5 dollars was simply a "stroke of genius". 🍵30 yuan to experience the mountain city teahouse and feel the authentic fireworks Chongqing's teahouse culture is well-known. I found a small, inconspicuous teahouse in the old street and ordered a cup of gaiwan tea for 30 yuan. As soon as we sat down, an enthusiastic waiter came over to add water. As the aroma of tea filled the air, we were surrounded by local uncles chatting, playing chess and cards in Chongqing dialect. Here, I seemed to integrate into the pace of life in Chongqing, and time seemed to slow down. Listening to the dialects that I couldn't understand but found interesting, and looking at the old but charming furnishings in the teahouse, at that moment, I felt that the 30 yuan bought not only a cup of tea, but a key to open the door to the authentic life in Chongqing🔑. 💆‍♀️Spend 40 yuan for an ear cleaning and enjoy a moment of tranquility in Ciqikou There were so many people visiting Ciqikou that I felt a bit exhausted 😣. I happened to see an ear cleaning shop, and after much hesitation, I decided to spend 40 yuan to try it out. Unexpectedly, I fell in love with it after trying it! The master in the shop has a skilled technique. He gently rotates the tool in the ear. The numbing feeling spreads from the ear to the whole body, and the person feels completely relaxed. In this bustling ancient town, I closed my eyes and enjoyed this rare moment of tranquility. When I came out, I was full of energy and continued to explore the charm of Ciqikou. It was really a pleasure to spend this money. 💕In short, when traveling in Chongqing, sometimes these seemingly insignificant expenses can bring great satisfaction and unforgettable experiences. My dears, if you come to Chongqing, you might as well try these small projects. I believe that you will feel like me that this is the most worthwhile money spent💖.
