Zhongshan Shenkeng Hotel

Chongqing, a place where even the name seems spicy. Chongqing's hot pot is known all over the world, but it would be a pity if you only know hot pot.

Recalling the previous three days in Chongqing, I not only witnessed the days and nights in Chongqing, but also completed a challenging trip for three days in my life.

Mountain City, Fog City and Little Hong Kong, among many titles and evaluations about Chongqing, what impressed me the most was a rumor, which would make all maps and navigation ashamed. Of course, at the moment I finally set foot on Chongqing North Railway Station, I knew it was not a rumor. Because just looking for a bus stop is enough to make people doubt life.

Even if the navigation does not remind you to deviate from the current route, the bus stop sign obviously does not exist. At this moment, for us who are dragging suitcases in one hand and reading maps with our mobile phones in the other, a group of "good people" are ready to move. After ignoring the nth black car driver, I finally got on the bus to the hotel.

The bus got off the roller coaster, but what surprised me even more was the completely different feeling of the whole city. The city is built on the mountain, willful and willful. This uniqueness is not as good as that of the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

I booked the machine plus wine package (Chengdu+Chongqing) online, but I didn't expect the designated hotel to be unexpectedly good. Apartment hotels are more lively than ordinary hotels. What's more, the hotel faces the river and is assigned to a high-rise room. Standing by the window, looking out inexplicably gives birth to a surge of emotion.

And k can always find the theme every time he travels. On the way back from Jie Fangbei, I remembered that one issue of Extreme Challenge was filmed in Chongqing. In fact, walking in Chongqing is like experiencing an extreme challenge every day. The hotel is not far from Jie Fangbei in a straight line, but it needs to climb a mountain on the way. The wet and cold weather in the southwest at the end of February always makes me sweat under my down jacket.

Originally, I didn't do much raiders, so I simply came to an "extremely selective" incomplete punch card to eat and swim.

Jiefangbei

When I first arrived in Chongqing, K vowed to tell me that the LED industry in Chongqing must be very developed. I haven't studied it, but I agree with her. Because the night view here is really a veritable "Little Hong Kong".

The history of Jie Fangbei in Chongqing can be traced back to the 29th year of the Republic of China (1940). You can go to Baidu if you are interested. Of course, it used to be a spiritual fortress, and now it is also the CBD of Chongqing. Nanjing Road in Shanghai, Wangfujing in Beijing, Zhongshan Road in Xiamen, Xinjiekou in Nanjing and most commercial streets in China. Therefore, although Jie Fangbei is the most famous landmark in Chongqing, it is not the most unique scenery in Chongqing. However, the great thing is that even in the downtown commercial street, the food price here is very conscience. 8 yuan a bowl of hot and sour powder, all kinds of strings, snacks, enough to eat, authentic. Chongqing: Do you blame me for not losing weight? )

Hongyadong

It is close to Jie Fangbei and belongs to the same business district. In fact, you can also book a hotel here. The most unique thing is that the lobby of the hotel is on the top floor and the room is downstairs. Obviously, you started from the flat ground, but when you arrived in Hongyadong, you found it on the top floor of the building. Moreover, this structure is different from the Shenkeng Hotel being built in Shanghai. The whole Hongyadong is a traditional "diaojiao building" in Bayu, opposite the Jialing River, where there is a magnificent thousand silk bridges.

It is said that this is the prototype of Spirited Away Tang Zhong's residence. Although it has been proved that it is not Hongyadong, this does not prevent the lights here from being dim.

The place where a group of people challenged Jiugongge hotpot was the nostalgic old hotpot 6 1 near Hongyadong. It was not dinner time when I went, so there were not many people. Although it was winter, I deliberately chose an outdoor seat, of course, in order to restore the most timely scene.

Because of this, it later became the background of many diners. While eating hot pot and enjoying the river view, tradition and modernity have been perfectly integrated here.

Chaotianmen

The location of the hotel is convenient, basically walking to Chaotianmen Wharf. Look up the map, there are buses, but you have to walk a few kilometers first, and it will be hundreds of meters more simply. Therefore, most of the time we prefer to walk to find the bus stop.

As for Chaotianmen Wharf, it is another period of history, which witnessed the growing prosperity of Chongqing. Standing here now, you can see the magnificent "Three Rivers Meeting". In fact, it is not accurate to use "Sanjiang" because it is only the confluence of Jialing River and Yangtze River, but it is said that the upper and lower reaches of Yangtze River occupy two of them.

I remember that little sheep in white got wet here! 2333

As a pier, people come and go here, but as a scenic spot, there are not many tourists. There are many vendors selling snacks, such as stinky tofu, cold rice noodles and so on. Delicious is the only description. We can take a river boat to the south bank here. Of course, we are not in a hurry to get it, because it is related to the next scenic spot.

Yangtze River Cableway

From Chaotianmen to Xinhua Road, you can see the ticket office of the Yangtze River cableway. One way 10 yuan, round trip to 20 yuan. Because I came back to try the ferry, I only bought one way. Buy a ticket and take the elevator to the ropeway entrance upstairs.

Is this scene familiar as soon as you get out of the elevator? That's right, that's where the extreme men help find lines.

It's hard to calm down the excitement without taking a few photos during the waiting.

The long cableway is the only way for Chongqing people to travel to and from both sides of the river every day. Standing in the cable car (I don't know what it's called), through the window, the Yangtze River water rolls under my feet. I don't know if you have that moment, thinking about a contingency, of course, it's just a contingency.

Nan 'an Yang Ren Street

Landing on the south bank is another scene, completely different from Jiangbei. Even the bus bound for foreigner street has become more like a long-distance bus. Of course, the only constant is that we still can't find the bus stop, and we can't stop walking! I met a kind shopkeeper and asked about the station. Although it is inevitable to escape, fortunately, I didn't go the wrong way.

There is a big parking lot outside foreigner street, but it has obviously been developed into an entertainment area. Children play with various amusement facilities, and middle-aged and elderly people play mahjong leisurely here. It is obviously a working day, but there are many people. This should be regarded as a slow life in Chongqing.

Although it is a foreigner's street, it is actually more like an outdoor playground. With the gathering of various food stalls, the atmosphere is like a favorite children's paradise when I was a child, which inexplicably gives birth to a kind of nostalgia. Since I am in foreigner street, I naturally want to see the so-called "best toilet". It's not too strange. Practicality is not stronger than the uniqueness of the building itself. Take pictures as evidence. As for taking pictures, forget it.

Yangtze river ferry

When I came to the south bank, I took the Yangtze River cableway. When I go back, I naturally want to try the Yangtze River Ferry. It's not that children who grew up on the Yangtze River have never been on a river boat, but they always feel that they are on a real ship on the Yangtze River in Chongqing (although only a ferry), which is more ceremonial than the Star Ferry and the ferry on Gulangyu Island.

The pier is near foreigner street, and the nearest boat takes 30 minutes. Wait a minute. Boredom is a bit boring, but neither K nor I want to go out for a walk again. After all, there are many large and active chickens scattered in the grass along the way, and the feather-fearing people are willing but unable.

Sitting on the second floor of the ship, the river is in front of you, the bridge is looking up, the river wind is blowing, and finally there is a little chill in December.

Arhat temple

Remember the place where the men's gang appeared at the beginning of the extreme challenge Chongqing article? The background is Luohan Temple. The temple was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the words "cave in heaven and land in happiness" are written on the horizontal plaque at the entrance. It's true. Luohan Temple was originally built because of Luohan Cave. A thousand-year-old temple that is quiet in the middle of the noise will have a different taste just by looking at the building.

Buy a ticket to enter the temple, and there are all kinds of Buddha statues of different sizes from the entrance. There is no shortage of offerings where there are Buddha statues. Walking through this not-too-long aisle, you can see the Hall of Ursa Major and the Hall of Lohan. Some people say that you can always find a statue similar to yourself in 108 Lohan, so I walked around the Lohan Hall with K, wondering if there is such a Buddha statue.

Luohan Temple is not very big, it can be repaired in time, and it can be done in half an hour.

Ciqikou

Ciqikou is an ancient town in Chongqing. Compared with the scenic spots of the previous day and a half, it is far from the hotel. It's been a long time, but I don't remember how long I took the bus. The only thing I remember is seeing Chongqing University on the road.

More than twenty years ago, the TV series karma was filmed here. I'm not afraid of revealing my age, but I still sing that ending song. Except for the building itself, it seems that it is not suitable to feel the customs of Chongqing. Commercialization of ancient towns has gradually become a trend, and the ancient towns in China are basically the same regardless of east, west, north and south.

Similar chain stores sell almost the same food. If you want to say something special, you can walk to Zhazidong and Baigongguan from here. There are no tickets for either scenic spot, but Hek doesn't like such a place very much, so he didn't go because time was a little tight.

Huguang Club (Ticket: 30 yuan)

Return to the hotel from Ciqikou, check out and check your luggage. See if there is still time. I want to find another scenic spot to see. So I came to Huguang Hall. Not far from the hotel, I have seen it many times on the way to Chaotianmen by car. At first, I thought it was a temple (because it was built very high, I couldn't see it clearly), but a search on the Internet found that it was actually Huguang Guild Hall. Since it is a very selective location, it is necessary to have a look. roasted goose ...

You can see it from a distance, but you can't find the way up. The twists and turns in Chongqing can always make you feel satisfied when you arrive at your destination.

The entrance of Huguang Guild Hall is not spacious, so I took a look at the photo and didn't go in. I saw too many similar buildings from Chengdu to Chongqing these days, so I didn't go in. Interested friends may wish to go in for a walk. It is said that it is very different from the Huguang Guild Hall in Beijing (not as big as Beijing).

Crown escalator (one-way fare: 2 yuan)

On the way to the airport, I climbed a mountain to find the light rail station. The endless stairs make me feel desperate, especially carrying a suitcase. On the way to the summit, I actually saw many people picking goods and thought of the movie "The Last Greatness". Seeing it with my own eyes, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart, so I gritted my teeth and continued to climb. When climbing to the top step, there is another step on the other side of the flat, and you need to cross a vegetable market on the way.

But it was by accident that the legendary Crown Escalator was discovered here. Yes, it's the escalator where the man helps the man pick the longest eggplant. I didn't sit down because I was in a hurry. It's a pity to think about it now Anyway, I must try next time.

At this point, the three-day and two-night trip to Chongqing has basically come to an end (in fact, it should be two and a half days). When I went to Chongqing, I was still using my mobile phone, so it was a sin not to take more good photos to record the details of my trip. Coupled with the fatal procrastination, I finally made up my mind to piece together the memories of that time from the circuitous brain circuit, so I dare not call this article a Raiders Guide blatantly and regard it as a travel essay for the time being. If it happens to be a little help to you who want to travel to Chongqing, it will be another excellent thing.

Wandering in a city, it may really take only one second to like it. The freedom of Chongqing people has long been reflected in the corner of the city. If you don't have many holidays and want to go to a different place, go to Chongqing.

The last thing to remind is that for pot friends with weak gastrointestinal function, hot pot must be eaten with caution! (Chongqing's hot pot basically belongs to, the entrance may be passable, but it is full of stamina. Personal experience, not much to say, make up for yourself! )
