🌍 About Chongqing

Chongqing is China's hotpot capital, and the local version is *málà* — numbing Sichuan peppercorn plus chili oil, cooked in a divided pot so you can dodge the fiercest broth. It's also a genuine mountain city built on cliffs where the Yangtze meets the Jialing, so the streets stack vertically: a building's 1st floor and its 22nd can both open onto a road. The thing to see is Liziba, where a working monorail runs straight through a 19-storey apartment block — locals live around the track, trains pass every few minutes. For night views, Hongya Cave's stilted wooden houses light up over the river. Come March–April or October–November, when it's mild and dry. Skip July–August: Chongqing is one of China's "furnace cities," brutally hot and humid, though that's often when fares drop.
