abstract
Chongqing is located in the southwest of China and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It was once the wartime capital, and became one of the four municipalities directly under the Central Government of China from 65438 to 0997. Chongqing is surrounded by mountains and built on the mountain. Because it is located at the edge of the basin where the two rivers meet, it is foggy all year round, and it is also called "mountain city" and "foggy city".
Food, night view and beautiful scenery are three business cards of Chongqing. Chongqing is a famous food resort and a paradise for eating goods, especially the world-famous hot pot, which is spicy and delicious, "attracting countless diners to bow down." Mountain city is the most famous scenery in Chongqing. Whether standing on the Nanshan Mountain or overlooking the Yangtze River cableway from the air, you can enjoy the magnificent night view known as "Little Hong Kong" and have a panoramic view of the two rivers. Chongqing is rich in beautiful women, and Jie Fangbei, Guanyin Bridge and other popular business districts are good places to find beautiful women.
Scenic spot
Bayu characteristic architecture, red tourism and ancient sites constitute the biggest features of Chongqing scenic area.
Most people travel to Chongqing, the main city. Among them, the areas with the densest footprints are: Yuzhong District, where many scenic spots, hot pots and small noodles gather; Shapingba district, Ciqikou, west; Dongyishu and the south bank of Yang Ren Street; Jiulongpo District, south of the airport; And Yubei district in the north.
Overview of scenic spots
In addition, there are many scenic spots around the main city, among which Wulong and Dazu stone carvings are highly sought after for their beautiful scenery and world wonders. It takes more than two hours to drive, so it's worth a visit if you have enough time.
Yuzhong district
Yuzhong District is the most distinctive area, with numerous and concentrated scenic spots, such as Jie Fangbei, Hongyadong, Chaotianmen and Yangtze River cableway. Not far from each other. Basically, you can walk or take the subway or bus for one or two stops, which is suitable for arranging the day's play. The famous Chongqing Three Gorges Museum and the Great Hall of the People are also in Yuzhong District. People who like museums had better arrange half a day.
Shapingba district
The scenic spots in this area have two characteristics, one is red tourism and the other is ancient town. The former takes Baigongguan and Zhazidong in Geleshan Scenic Area as the main line. If you are interested, you can also visit revolutionary sites such as Martyrs Cemetery and Hongyan Soul Square. The latter, ciqikou ancient town, is not far from Geleshan Scenic Area, and tours can be arranged on the same day.
Nan 'an District
The main scenic spots on the south bank are all on Nanshan, and a tree viewing platform on the mountain is a good place to see the night scene. But because Nanshan is far from the city, the traffic is not very convenient. If you have plenty of time and like natural scenery, you can go to the botanical garden to see cherry blossoms in spring, go hiking in the mountains in summer, or go to the museum of anti-Japanese war sites to taste spring chicken all day.
Jiulongpo District
There are not many scenic spots in this area, and it is far from the city. Many tourists who come here specially have a literary heart. The scenic spots are mainly Laochuanmei campus and graffiti street, which are full of creativity and artistic atmosphere and are the best place for photographers.

I am lucky to enjoy the masterpieces of nature from the glass corridor at the top and under the bridge. Without the support of professional photographic hardware, it is really difficult to photograph the magnificent momentum of these three bridges and three tiankeng. I suggest you go down from the entrance of the sightseeing elevator to the bottom of the first Tianlong Bridge, and you can directly see Tianfu Inn. The whole scenic spot is basically down the steps, which will not exceed 2 hours and will not consume too much energy. It is really difficult to walk. There is an artificial sedan chair at the entrance, and 200 people can see the whole journey. Ticket season 135, off-season 95. If you have a holiday, you'd better avoid crowds and enjoy the scenery here in the off-season.

The tiankeng takes about 2.5-3 hours to walk; It takes about five hours to play together.

Ciqikou ancient town has a long history and is an ancient town that Chongqing must visit. It's a little far, but the traffic is convenient. It's not too far from the subway entrance, 10 minutes or so. Ciqikou ancient town's architecture is quite distinctive, which gives me a feeling similar to the diaojiao building in Fenghuang Ancient City. There are many people in it. I wonder whether there are many tourists and people, and whether there are many shops on both sides of the street. Personally, if you want to take pictures, you'd better go farther, there are fewer people, and the photos are effective, so as to take pictures of the feel of the ancient town.

Remember the crazy stone? I didn't expect the ropeway in Chongqing to be so big. It can seat 60 people at a time. Crowded with people, there was a long queue to buy tickets. 1The price in 0 yuan is very affordable for scenic spots, but it is not cheap for cross-strait commuting. I'm afraid not.

Food and drink
The most popular food streets in Chongqing are mainly concentrated in three places, namely, the delicious street on Bayi Road, Hongyadong and ciqikou ancient town, with everything from Chongqing-style snacks to delicious food all over the country. Because of the convenient transportation, there are people in these three places almost every day. But because it belongs to the scenic spot, the price of the food street is more expensive than other places.
In addition, Quanshuiji Street on Nanshan is very popular because people go to Nanshan to watch the night scene in an endless stream, and Nanbin Road on the Yangtze River is also very lively because of its excellent location to watch the night scene.

go shopping
Chongqing is not a shopping destination. Most people choose to buy edible specialties as souvenirs when they travel here.
Hot pot bottom material, twist and Hechuan peach slices are all authentic Chongqing specialties. Basically, it can be bought in ciqikou ancient town, Hongyadong and other places, but the price is relatively expensive. If you go to Yonghui Supermarket, Carrefour and other large supermarkets, the price will be much more affordable. I like to eat spicy food when cooking. You can go to the vegetable market, such as Panxi farmers' market, and bring some dried peppers and peppers back.
In addition, there are many kinds of tourist souvenirs, but the things sold by shops in most scenic spots are not much different from those in other places and have no characteristics. If you really want to buy it, I recommend Carpenter Tan's comb, which is excellent in workmanship and suitable for handwriting.
Of course, there are many high-end brand flagship stores in Chongqing, such as Jie Fangbei and working girls in Guanyinqiao business district, which are all suitable for buy buy. There will be m
There are many kinds of base materials, generally including butter and clear oil. The former tastes spicy, while the latter is suitable for people who are not good at spicy. However, all hot pot ingredients need to be taken home and cooked by themselves. It's best to buy some butter and cook it for more than 3 hours, otherwise it will be difficult to replicate the taste of Chongqing hot pot.
The overall price of chafing dish bottom material is not expensive, 15-30 yuan/bag, which can be bought in major supermarkets and specialty stores of popular attractions. Many hot pot restaurants also sell their own ingredients at the door, and the packaging is intact. You don't have to worry about leakage during the trip.
Lingzui snack
Ciqikou ancient town's Twist (see catering section) is the first choice for most tourists. It is convenient to pack and mail if you buy too much. Except for dough twists, other snacks and specialties are generally inexpensive, well packaged and easy to carry.
Hechuan peach slice
This is a famous scenic spot in Hechuan. It is made of glutinous rice, peach kernel, etc. Its mouth is very sweet, with salt and pepper. Soft and waxy taste, suitable for people who are afraid of getting angry. However, the shelf life is short, so you should eat it early.
Jiangjin mi Hua Tang
Sweet and crisp, the oldest brand is Lotus, which tastes pure.
Chicken feet with pickled peppers/Fuling mustard tuber/sour peas
The first two are similar to those sold in other places in China. Chicken feet with pickled peppers recommend a friend brand. Strange beans are the hottest when they are fresh in Chongqing.
Tea residue
Chongqing is rich in tea and is famous for its tea culture. Well-known varieties include Yongchuan Xiuya, Bashan Yinya, Jinyun Mao Feng and Youyang Tartary Buckwheat.
Generally, you can buy more than tea in large supermarkets. If you have enough time, you can go to Panxi Tea Market (the largest tea wholesale market in Chongqing) and Nanqiaosi Tea Market (the first professional tea wholesale market in Chongqing). The categories of tea sold in these two places are relatively complete and the prices are relatively affordable.
Tan mu Jiang Shu
Among many famous handicrafts in Chongqing, carpenter Tan's comb, which originated in Chongqing, is the first practical and suitable for giving gifts. Although it is slightly more expensive than ordinary combs (50- 100 yuan/piece), the material is very good and can be used for more than ten years without static electricity. New World Department Store has branches in Jiangbei District and Hong Kong City.
From 20 10 to 20 10, the most popular shopping malls in the main city of Chongqing are mainly concentrated in Jie Fangbei in Yuzhong District, Guanyin Bridge in Jiangbei District and Three Gorges Square in Shapingba District.
In short, Jie Fangbei Business Circle is the oldest business center, with relatively high-end brands and tourists as the main crowd. Guanyinqiao business circle, a rising star, is now more favored by local people, and its brand is mainly in the middle and high end; The Three Gorges Square is also an old business district, but the key point is that the price is close to the people and suitable for students' consumption.

Here, the transportation is convenient, the environment is fashionable and prosperous, shopping malls and supermarkets gather, and the brand is mainly in the middle and high end, which is a good place to shop. There are still many people who come to this street with cameras to shoot, hoping for beautiful women.
At night, there is a music fountain in the middle of the street, with bright neon lights and charming night scenes, which is suitable for tourists with children.

Shapingba Three Gorges Square business circle is the old business circle in Chongqing. Although the shopping environment is a little old, its biggest feature is that students' consumption, brand and price are close to the people. There are not only several shopping malls featuring mid-range brands, but also an underground shopping mall, which is very suitable for F.

It is very convenient for tourists from cities and provinces around Chongqing to travel here by car, because the road network is dense and the road conditions are good, and they can also visit the surrounding ancient towns by the way. However, Chongqing's "three-dimensional traffic" is famous all over the country and is not suitable for self-driving travel in the city. On the one hand, there are many viaducts and detours, which is a rare road condition in China. Non-local drivers will find it difficult to get used to it, and they can't even respond to navigation. On the other hand, the three-dimensional road surface will make travelers very confused when driving, causing safety hazards.
Besides, the traffic in the center of Chongqing, especially near Hongyadong, is very crowded. There is a densely populated clothing wholesale market nearby, and traffic jams and pedestrians are inevitable, which also brings considerable difficulty to driving in the city.
Chengdu-Chongqing
There are many routes to choose from. You can take Chengdu-Chongqing Expressway and Chengnan Expressway to Chongqing by car, which is about 300 kilometers. Non-drivers can go by train, and the time course is within 2 hours, which is very convenient.
Chongqing-Wulong
Entering Baomao Expressway, the whole journey is about190km. The road conditions are very good, and Wulongshan Road is also very good, but there are only two lanes, which is easy to traffic jam.

Travel safety
There are many modes of transportation in the main urban area of Chongqing. You can take the subway, bus, taxi, ferry, Yangtze River cableway and even elevator, which is a unique mode of transportation.
However, due to Chongqing's own geographical environment, the overall roads are not spacious, and traffic jams are commonplace. Therefore, it is recommended to take the subway as the mainstay, covering almost all popular attractions, which is convenient and smooth.
Chongqing is also one of the few cities in China without bicycles, because the roads in the main city are all mountain roads, and there are many uphill and downhill roads. If you ride a bike, you can imagine how sour it is.
How to get there?
Chongqing has rail transit, light rail and subway. For the convenience of understanding, this article is collectively referred to as subway.
At present, there are 1, 2, 3 and 6 4 lines, covering almost all stations.
