Chongqing|Four days and three nights, 25,000 km a day, special forces itinerary
I bravely ventured into the mountain city of Chongqing with my 65-year-old father!
5.11-5.14, there are not many people during this period, the weather is suitable, there is rain but not heavy, there is sunshine but not too strong.
Day 1: Arrive at Chongqing Jiangbei Airport at 12 noon and stay near Jiefangbei. Jiefangbei - Bayi Road Food Street - Eling Second Factory - Eling Park - Liziba - Guanyin Bridge - Beicang Cultural and Creative Park - 21:30 Raffles - Hongyadong - Qiansimen Bridge. My dad and I walked more than 30K steps that day. We were hungry and tired. In the middle of the night, even McDonald's was closed, so we had to run and order a yogurt cow. Don’t say! Really delicious!
Day 2: It’s a day of exploring the cenotes! Depart from Chongqing North at 8:30 and arrive in Wulong at 10:30. 11:45 Three Natural Bridges, 14:30 Longshuixia Crack. At 18:00, I ate bowls of mutton, which was ranked first on the must-eat list, and at 19:00 I returned to Chongqing North from Wulong.
Day 3: Arrive at Shancheng Lane at 9:30, Shancheng Trail - Eighteen Ladders - Baixiang Street District - Baixiangju, 14:30 Huguang Guild Hall, 16:30 dinner at Yangjilongfu. Afterwards, we went to Daijia Lane - Kuixing Tower - back to Jiefangbei to pick up our luggage and arrived at Marriott at 20:30. After putting down our luggage and taking photos of the night view on the rooftop, we set off again! 21:30 Socialist College - Longmenhao Old Street - Xiahaoli (it was dark and the lights were off, so I didn’t see much) - Nanbin Road (I couldn’t walk anymore and couldn’t reach the park). I went back and looked through the photos and found that my dad and I were still climbing the stairs after 11pm at night. Hahaha
Day 4: Sleep in in the morning, take photos on the rooftop of Marriott, eat hot pot at 12:00, and take a flight at 15:45. I even went through the express channel, but I still heard my name and my dad's name at the airport. It was so embarrassing. I have to spend more time next time.
These days, I rely on online guides for walking, and Baidu Maps for subway and bus.
I was shocked by the spirit of the Cha Yan Yue Se waiter. I drank several cups of Cha Yan Yue Se, a Yogurt Cow, and Yu Lao Yin!
Before coming to Chongqing, I only knew about Tianjin Mahua. I didn’t expect that there were shops selling Mahua everywhere in Chongqing.
As a foreigner from Chongqing, my father and I often sigh that although we are on the first floor, we are on the top floor of other buildings. Also, because we are always climbing up hills and stairs, we sigh that the elderly here must be very agile.
After I came back, my phone was full of photos of the river view, daytime, nighttime, cloudy, sunny, from all angles and locations, there must be hundreds of them!
Oh yes, there is a little surprise! I was walking around Baixiangju under the scorching sun and was so tired. As a result, I managed to eat tangerines that cost 7 yuan per pound among a group of tangerines that cost 9 or 10 yuan per pound! What’s even more coincidental is that we also ran into the two sisters we met in Wulong the day before!
With this Babagan, I finally understand what "every fruit is plump and juicy" means! No seeds, and super sweet! After eating the babagan, my dad and I sat at the door of the stall and ate a lot of loquats and lychees. It was so cool!
