Which is more worth going to, Chongqing or Chengdu?

Between Chongqing and Chengdu, Chengdu is worth visiting.

Chengdu is a city with a long history and profound cultural heritage, and Chongqing is also a popular tourist city, but it is greatly discounted because of "tiredness". There are antique blocks such as Kuanzhai Lane and Jinli Ancient Street, which allow visitors to appreciate the unique charm of western Sichuan folk houses. In addition, Chengdu is also the hometown of pandas, and visitors can go to the panda base to watch these lovely national treasures at close range.

In terms of food, Chengdu is a gourmet paradise. There are all kinds of Sichuan specialty snacks such as hot pot, skewers, mala Tang and dragon wonton, which greatly satisfy the taste buds of tourists. Chengdu has been known as "the land of abundance" since ancient times. It is one of the first national historical and cultural cities, the birthplace of ancient Shu civilization and the best tourist city in China.
