Chongqing

I went to Chongqing at the end of May, but I only have time to record it now. Looking back, I felt: hot!

Therefore, it is recommended that you avoid summer and try to choose a season when the weather is still a little cool. It should be more comfortable to play.

Back then, I watched "Passing Through Your World", which was filmed in Chongqing, in the cinema. The girl sitting next to me told me that she felt that there are really many good things in life. , thinking about going to Chongqing to have a look.

At the end of May, I ate hot pot, watched movies, and walked the mountain city trails alone in Chongqing. There was no pretense or miss, just because I happened to be alone. This feeling is suitable for lazy people.

For major transportation, when evaluating air tickets and tickets in terms of time cost, the high-speed rail from Beijing to Chongqing takes 12 hours or even longer, while the flight only takes about 3 hours.

In terms of cost, air tickets can be purchased for 800-1,300 during non-holidays, but there are only two high-speed trains from Beijing to Chongqing, one trip is 70 and the other is 90.

Under this background, it is most appropriate to choose an airplane. A 22-inch suitcase is checked in.

For urban transportation, Chongqing has an area of ??82,402.95k㎡, which is 7-8 times that of Beijing. You can just take a taxi, which is not affordable. Unless you are sure it is very close, rail transit or renting a car is recommended for farther places. Self drive.

The hotel I chose is Jiefangbei Hotel (Jiefangbei Branch). In addition to the 7-day Hanting Express, there are also mid-range hotels such as Atour nearby. You can choose according to your actual situation. , but the area near Jiefangbei is really a good choice.

This location is really convenient for city tours. Jiefangbei, Hongya Cave, Mountain City Trail, WFC Observation Deck, etc. are all less than 2 kilometers away, so you can just walk there. ,

The business district is just outside, and eating and shopping are very convenient. There is also a Journey to the West-themed hot pot restaurant on the 23rd floor of the Ji Hotel.

It looks old, but the environment and taste inside the store are really good, especially the private rooms on the terrace. There are lush green plants outside and the hot butter hot pot inside. This is also the first time I, a sesame pie, fell in love with oil dishes.

After checking in, it was time to eat, drink and have fun. Because the time was short and I forgot to bring my driving book, I couldn’t rent a car and drive myself, so I chose In addition to urban activities, projects and attractions outside the city have basically been abandoned. The most heartbreaking thing is that I did not try the Ordovician Internet celebrity cliff swing.

Day 1: Bai Gongguan, Zhazi Cave, Ciqikou, Madame Tussauds, Yangtze River Cableway, WTF Observation Deck

The first time to officially start playing in a city Today, I habitually sign up for a local group tour with a price of over 100. Whether it is on travel websites such as Mafengwo, Ctrip or group buying websites such as Meituan, there are many one-day group tours, and they all cost between 100 and 200. Very suitable.

It is rainy in Chongqing. It was still raining when I contacted the tour guide and got on the bus. I was annoyed that the bad weather would ruin the day's trip, but we had already stopped at the first scenic spot.

The first stop of the group is Bai Gongguan and Zhazi Cave. Bai Gongguan is also called Xiangshan Villa. The origin of this name is related to Bai Juyi, a layman in Xiangshan.

Bai Gongguan was originally the residence of Sichuan warlord Bai Ju. Bai Ju claimed to be the XX generation descendant of Bai Juyi, so he named his residence "Xiangshan Villa".

The Zhazi Cave you see now is a replica of the original site. Long-term disrepair and several heavy rains caused the houses here to collapse.

Before coming here, my impression of Zhazi Cave was still in my primary school Chinese textbook. I took a picture of a representative figure like Little Luobotou...

In such an environment, there is a cat taking a nap. The contrast and cuteness attract many tourists to take pictures. Probably because it sleeps so soundly, everyone just takes pictures and no one disturbs it.

Meow said: "You can take whatever you want, I don't care, as long as you don't touch me, let me sleep well..."

In the photo below, the This sentence turned this wall into a tourist attraction and a point of laughter, "What the chief cannot see, think, think, hear or cannot do, we must do what he sees, thinks, hears and does"

< p> It is said that it was used to flatter people at that time.

Please forgive me that I have never had much love for red travel. In a blink of an eye, I became obsessed with the natural beauty here and took a lot of photos. I would like to thank the gentleman who took the photos for me at that time.

After Baigongguan and Zhazidong is Ciqikou, "a stone road, Ciqikou for thousands of years". There are special snacks, Hanfu, specialties, etc. It's not possible to take pictures, so I took pictures online.

It was already lunch time when I walked to Ciqikou, so I fed myself here. The weather was too hot, so I gave up on hot food. Ice powder became my first choice. It has a jelly-like texture and is filled with... I got honey, it’s delicious!

In addition, I also asked the tour guide to help purchase Chen Jianping Mahua. The flavor of Mahua Chili Salt is really amazing. I have tried it for you!

In addition to food that you can eat in your hands, there are also specialties that you can buy back, such as spicy chicken, hot pot base and chopped peppers. You can just put a big pot in the shop and make them fresh for sale.

You can taste before buying, the whole street is full of spicy and fragrant smell.

The North is rough and arrogant, while the South is refined, but this pot is probably the most unsouthern thing in the eyes of northerners.

There is a Qing Dynasty theater at the end of the alley, which you can visit for free and also provides performances and refreshments.

Because we were traveling with a local one-day tour group, we were not allowed to change the itinerary arbitrarily due to time constraints, so we did not stay too long. A certain gentleman discovered the New World and actually experienced the care of a massage chair there.

Yes, you read that right, it’s the kind of massage chair that costs 10 yuan for 15 minutes in a movie theater. Although it doesn’t quite match, it’s considered a cross-border collaboration.

There are many places to buy this kind of handmade rice noodles in Ciqikou, because every shop is crowded with people, and I really hate being in a situation where there are so many people, sharing seats, and even standing. I didn’t try it when I went to eat. If you are interested, you can try it.

After Ciqikou, the group tour was arranged to the Three Gorges Museum. It was wasted because it was too hot. Some people also went to take pictures of the Chuanlou light rail, but they still didn’t go because they were too lazy. They took a nap in the car with the cold wind blowing. , and then went directly to Madame Tussauds.

For someone like me who is not star-chasing or religious, this wax museum has no special appeal to me, but I like this crystal ball the most in the entire wax museum, especially because it has a fairy tale feel. Feel.

For the rest of the trip, I was most looking forward to the Yangtze River Cableway, but in fact the beautiful scenery was all taken outside. What I saw on the cableway was the Yangtze River and surrounding buildings.

It was cloudy and the scenery was not beautiful, so I didn’t take any photos. I took a few photos of the AC motor when I came down.

The last place to visit on the day trip is the WFC Observation Deck, but when the weather is bad, the visual effect is average and not as good as expected. The viewing experience is much worse than that at the Chengdu TV Tower. .

On the other side, there are several old maps of Chongqing, which are really pretty. It’s no wonder that many people now hang old maps as decorative paintings at home.

Day 2: Eling Park, Eling Second Factory, Crown Escalator, Xiahao Old Street (demolished), Hongyadong

The next day is from a bowl of Chongqing It started with small noodles.

Get up in the morning and eat a bowl of noodles near the hotel. It is said that this Guzhou Wancheng is a chain store, and what you eat is their signature pork mixed sauce noodles, which is a kind of mixed noodles. Served with a bowl of noodle soup.

The first destination was the legendary Eling No. 2 Factory. Taking a taxi there should only cost less than 20 yuan, but I chose rail transit and thought I would try the Chongqing subway.

Just like Beijing, you have to prepare some cash and put it into the ticket machine to buy tickets. There should be no corresponding app and electronic tickets.

As I said before, it is still recommended to travel by rail transit or self-driving in Chongqing. After all, the city is big. However, if you choose rail transit, it is recommended that you take a taxi for one kilometer after leaving the station, because the mountain city is One kilometer may be different from what you imagine...

It is not far from Jiefangbei to Eling. There are only 5 stops on Light Rail Line 1, but it takes a long time to walk after leaving the station. , but there was also an unexpected gain. I passed Eling Park in the middle and went for a walk.

When you see the sign of Eling Main Street, you can basically see Eling Park.

A corner of Eling Park overlooks the Jialing River. The visual effect is particularly great. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to take pictures or look at the crappy pictures.

Further along Eling Main Street is Eling No. 2 Factory, which contains bookstores, cafes and some companies.

The structure is similar to that of 789, but the difference is that 798 is basically a one-story and two-story house, with the highest one being a three-dimensional parking lot. However, the Eling Second Factory is basically multi-story, and the storefronts are also hidden in the building. Building.

I specially took two pictures of the bathroom because the bathroom is so easy to use.

The air conditioning is open, the water temperature is hot and cold, and there is even a shower head. There is a place to put things next to the toilet, and there is a USB port to charge your mobile phone.

I didn’t go looking for the Internet celebrity graffiti wall. I came alone, drank coffee, and browsed the small shops. Only when I was two people did I need to go to the Internet celebrity wall to take pictures. After all, I don’t have a boyfriend with a selfie stick. I had a good time with my best friend...

I can walk around here in 1-2 hours, and there is no point in stopping too much. After that, I went to the "Crown Escalator" which is also famous on the internet. ".

There is no difference between the Crown Escalator and our daily subway elevators, except that it is longer. Although it is long, the visual effect is not good at all. Without taking pictures, there is really no point in going there, not to mention the one-way trip costs 2 It only costs 1 yuan, but sometimes you can see beautiful scenery on a certain subway platform.

Chongqing’s Xiahao Old Street is very famous, but it has been demolished and the entrance is blocked. I couldn’t go in. I took a picture of an old tree at the door. This place has become a scene that will never be seen again in Chongqing. .

In fact, it is a bit disappointing, but there is nothing we can do. It is probably also for the safety of tourists. After all, they are already some dangerous buildings.

We went directly back to the hotel from Xiahao Old Street, took a shower, and then went to Hongya Cave, which is about 1 km away from the hotel on foot.

Before I came to Hongyadong, I had not understood the essence of 8D Chongqing. I passed by Cangbai Road and obviously went down one floor, but found that it was indeed about 10 floors on the other side (forgive me for forgetting the specific floor).

Hongya Cave is called the real-life version of "Spirited Away", and there is indeed a hint of meaning in it. There is feasting and feasting, and there are many diners. If you are not careful, you will get lost in it.

In fact, it is more recommended to see Hongya Cave on a night cruise on the Yangtze River. After all, this place is farther away and looks more comfortable. I actually regretted not taking the cruise.

There are not many attractive things inside Hongya Cave, just some snacks and small handicrafts, and there is also a floor selling antiques.

On the way back, I met a popular yogurt shop in Chongqing. Although it is a chain, the shop was full.

I ordered a cup of yogurt with purple rice. The yogurt itself was not delicious. Regular yogurt tasted like water, but the purple rice inside was delicious.

I went back in the evening, it was still early, and I went to watch "Cohabitation in Time and Space" alone in the movie theater above the hotel.

Day 3: Mountain City Trail

The third day was the return day, so I didn’t arrange too many itineraries. I got up in the morning and stored my luggage at the front desk of the hotel, and then went to the hotel near Jiefangbei. I went shopping in the business district and went back to the 23rd floor of the hotel to eat hot pot at noon, and then I fell in love with the oil dish.

The reason for choosing such a rich lunch was to replenish energy. After all, the afternoon trip was a mountain trail. Although it was raining, it seemed to be more artistic.

Like Xiahao Old Street, Shancheng Trail may be closed in the near future. It is worth a visit, but there are no people living there, so it is still a bit scary to walk alone.

From beginning to end, I met a total of 8 people along the way. 90% of the way is walked alone, so it is not recommended for girls to walk alone. It is much safer to go together.

What is more heart-warming is a dog I met.

After entering the entrance of Shancheng Trail, you can walk all the way to the road (8D effect), but I got lost when I was almost at the end and couldn’t find the way out. This dog helped me I led the way, always not far in front of me.

He stood still when I went the wrong way. After I asked a worker (the last person I met here), I found out that the place where the dog was standing was out. direction.

Only then did I realize that he was leading the way for me, so I followed him all the way to the roadside where I could take a taxi, and he left.

I wanted to buy something delicious as a thank you, but there really aren’t many shops here, so I can only express my gratitude to you, such a kind dog.

This is the end. Next time I go to Chongqing, I will choose a slightly cooler day.
