Chongqing Travel Guide


 


A Legendary City:
Mountainous City, Riverside City, Flaming City, Foggy City...This is Chongqing! The famous writer Yu Qiuyu has said: The essence of prosperous Tang Dynasty (618 to 907 AD) lies in the poems rather than the beautiful princesses, queens or the ambitious emperors. Among these respectable poets, the most well-known ones Li Bai, Du Fu had written many poems about this city. It is also the right place that King Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms Period (220 to 280, AD) entrusted his little son to Zhuge Liang, a liege vassal of him, when he was going to die. Nowadays elites of human resource administration always make research on the way how Liu Bei did to manage those great minds like Zhuge Liang and build his kingdom. 

Mouthwatering Snacks & Distinctive Features:
Ma and La Huo Guo (Spicy Hot Pot), Bang Bang (people who carries goods for customers on the shoulder with a pole, and most of them from rural areas hanging about in this city and they make their living by this hard work), Yao De (a dialect of saying OK). Only you know these vocabularies, you could boast that you thoroughly understand China. 

On an unimposing corner of a street in Chongqing, pretty girls are standing in a line. Some of them are fashionable school girls just having finished their classes and some of them white-collar ladies with complicated-tailoring handbags in hand elegantly, most of which have the newest hair styles and delicate make-ups. They are waiting quietly and peacefully, or chatting something with their friends and bursting into laughter suddenly. They are just waiting for the delicacies spending lightly (usually below 5RMB, less than 1 US dollars) from that little window ahead. There you could forget who you are, where you are from, social status, and any other material things in your original world. At that moment, you are just yourself, simply with an empty belly for these delicious snacks. 

Amazing tourist attractions:
Primeval forests, mighty snowcapped peaks, gigantic fjords and grumbling volcanoes, these are all about the mysterious scenes in the Hollywood movies. If you are addicted to these movies like Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings, you'll fall in love with Chongqing. There is a
Ghost City in Fengdu Town near Chongqing. How could it feel to walk through this mystic castle ? The immortal spirits and the ghosts, the heaven and the hell, you may experience all of which by your own.

Moreover in Chongqing you can also find the biggest nuclear power station in China and the great Three Gorges Dam. Anyway, Chongqing is a miniature of our planet.

Chongqing Geography and Climate
Chongqing lies in the upper reaches of Yangtze River in Southwestern China and the youngest municipality of China. Chongqing has a population of 3,100,000 in the main city areas and 31,440,023 in total. Generally speaking, just like their instinct of being fond of hot spicy pepper, they got a quick temper. Don't be mistaken. They are actually just reasonable, straightforward and warmhearted. With high pitches, most people speak Chongqing dialect. The tone of the dialect is something akin to the official Mandarin. Changeable temperatures in spring, hot in summer, wet in autumn and warm and foggy weather in winter. The annual average temperature is 18 degrees Celsius, while the lowest down to a monthly average of 7 degrees Celsius in January.

  

Chongqing Transportation:

There are international flights to Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore provided by domestic and foreign carriers. Train traffic to Chongqing is very convenient. Quality services are available from Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Guangzhou. Budget long distance buses that starts from Chengdu as far as the Northern Bus Station in Chongqing.

Because Chongqing is quite mountainous, it is hard to travel the city by bicycle, so the public transport services are good across the urban area. Buses, mini-buses and sightseeing tour coaches are widely available. Taxi is another convenient way of going to sightseeing spots in Chongqing. Moreover, a light rail system that roams across the city is good scenery itself !
