Which one is more fun, Chengdu or Chongqing? Which one is worth visiting, Chengdu or Chongqing?

Chengdu and Chongqing are two similar cities, but not so similar. I really can’t tell the specific differences. People in these two cities don’t seem to want to be confused, so this article Let me tell you what the differences are between these two cities.

They are both fun! Chongqing and Chengdu have different temperaments, but in fact they have their own merits.

If you like the liveliness and craziness, come to Chongqing

If you like the petty bourgeoisie, go to Chengdu

Chengdu is more humane and has a deeper cultural heritage. Here you can relax and make yourself more comfortable. Quiet; if you just want to eat and have fun, then I recommend going to Chongqing! Let me talk about Chongqing first - suitable for crazy adventurers

The mountain is in the city, and the city is on the mountain, so the buildings are scattered in a patchwork manner, with stairs and streets everywhere They are all uphill and downhill roads. Not only do tall buildings rise from the ground, many roads are built between the buildings. You can reach their upstairs after walking.

Attractions to visit:

1) Hongya Cave - landmark, night view

-Hongya Cave has 11 floors in total, you can walk There are aisles to each floor, and you can also take the elevator. You can feel the special feeling that the 11th floor and the first floor are all on the road.
