Find Hotels in Chongqing, China

Starting from dealing with university people (who are supposed to be educated) to taxi drivers. So, it was quite refreshing to return to the hotel where employees are so friendly, helpful and kind.

The metro is very, very crowded at times, and some of the stations are pretty labyrinthine. There is great food to be had in the area near Lianglukou station. Bayi Road has some good food, too, and the shopping around the People's Liberation Monument is astonishing. The Three Gorges Museum is surprisingly interesting, and the village of Ciqikou is interesting, if touristy, and easy to reach by metro. Don't rely on mobile broadband for maps etc - it is very unreliable.

The shopping area is very good, have those branded stuff with more than 100 shops.

Try metro, convenient.

There was one that took over 3 hours to get to with multiple transfers, but once I arrived, I realized that the hot spring was monopolized by a luxury hotel that came with an entrance fee.

the food is a must try and the experience of tea culture is an highlight

Personally prefers sight seeing using the metro system as main mode of transport.

so i cant give a good reliable account of all the city. but what i did see i liked.

Not a lot of history in this city, but lots of natural beautiful scenery an hour or so outside the central business districts, on the outskirts of the city.

If you have time, there are many beautiful parks, great shopping areas (Jie Feng Bei, Jiang Bei centre, Sha Ping Bai) and you cannot go to Chongqing without going for the authentic Chongqing hotpot (a chilli steamboat that you cook your food in). Also, if you have time, there is the "ancient" area of town called Ci Qi Kou (close to Sha Ping Ba), but anywhere you go, just walking down the back streets, exploring, trying some of the local delicacies along the way is an exciting way to get to know the city.

Given the mountains and wonderful scenery it is definetly a place i would recommend for a visit. It is also very good for shopping and culturla experiences

We did not see any clear sky even when it was not cloudy.

You can enjoy the famouse Chongqing style food (huogua)too.

Shopping is also good as are public transport links.

Too many vehicles. Slow travelling time. Food are all hot hot hot. But every traveller must try the hot pot. Otherwise the trip to Chongqing is not complete! The best part about visiting Chongqing is to be able to view the Dazu Cave Carving, which is about 2 hour ride away from Chongqing. It is just superb! Everyone visiting Chongqing must set aside one day to visit Dazu cave carvings. There are many local tours to Dazu, starting at about 8.00 am in the morning, and back to Chongqing at 6.00 pm. The trip is fairly well organized. For RMB 300 per person, you get a ride on the tourist coach direct to Dazu. Lunch, which is included, is a fairly decent meal, with meat, fish and vegetables. Good enough for a fussy and big eater like myself.
