Chongqing is different than other cities in China that I visited....No Bicycles! I hardly saw any here and the reason is that the city is built on a series of hills that are fairly steep. You will get a work out as you wander around the city! There is cool walk to do that takes you seemingly right through peoples houses. It is on the side of the peninsula that over looks the Yangtze River. A first impression gives it a run down look but I had a blast exploring this area and the people were very friendly too! It made me feel like I was walking around China in the 1800's! WARNING!! As with all of my other China pages be warned that these tips and stories are all based on my 1987 trip so for sure prices have changed and hotels or restaurants won't/might not be there anymore!! |

I've just read the accomodation tip again (was featured on the front page). Funny stuff. The photo really makes me want to experience this place. It's got all the qualities of a place that is oozing with adventure. | we2364 Mon Oct 11, 2004 11:40 UTC
Pity I was only 11 when you travelled to Chongqing. The city has been changed a lot, in a tremendous way as I see from the TV, still haven't been there;) But will explore it one day! | urban4est Sun Oct 10, 2004 21:31 UTC
i too find the little street shops helpful and always interesting. I flew into Wuhan. Later friends drove me 3 hours from Ezhou to Yichang to get the ship to Chongqing. Wonderful places, wonderful people. | Fam_Stoica Wed Jul 14, 2004 08:06 UTC
Travel in China is a great experience; a fascinating country, a fabulous civilization, an outstanding people/customs diversity. Daniel |
