Hey / What's up
Chongqing is built vertically on hills between the Yangtze and Jialing rivers โ there are no bicycles here because the city has no flat ground. The Hongyadong 'hanging house' complex at night, reflected in the Jialing River, is the most dramatic urban spectacle in China. For the Ciqikou experience, arrive before 10 am โ by noon it's wall-to-wall tour groups.
Tip 18โ20% at restaurants. Walk fast on sidewalks โ stay right, pass left.
๐จ๐ณ Chongqing Fun Fact
Chongqing is technically the world's largest city by administrative area โ its municipality covers 82,400 kmยฒ, roughly the size of Austria. The Three Gorges Dam project displaced over 1 million Chongqing residents in the early 2000s. The city's unique vertical topography means some metro stations have exits 7 floors apart, and the Liziba station passes directly through a residential skyscraper.

New York City has 468 subway stations โ more than any other city in the world.
